In the latest episode of print's podcast, It's Been A Big Month in Print, industry insiders Wayne Robinson and Lindy Hughson analyse, assess, and interpret the major news, trends, issues and developments from August.

We start off by reviewing Australia Post’s decision to cease the delivery of unaddressed mail by December. We assess how close we are to AI and machine learning technologies achieving fully automated print production.

Following this we discuss IVE’s increasing profits but static revenue, and its progress in its folding carton intentions. We check out the change in VMA's presidency. Online print giant and Vista parent Cimpress released its figures, and a contentious statement, we discuss print's response.

We wrap up by unpacking investigations which include several allegations of unions facilitating an estimated $3m in ghost printing via print brokers.
