T-Shirt & Sons Scales POD with Kornit Apollo Platform
In the ever-evolving print-on-demand (POD) space, UK-based T-Shirt & Sons has redefined fulfillment efficiency and eco-conscious printing by integrating Kornit Apollo, a next-gen smart DTG production system. Known since 1989 for delivering quality and sustainability, the company faced increasing pressure from surging online orders and a need to scale without compromising standards. According to Adam Golder, Managing Director, 'We had the vision, but lacked the tools—until Apollo.' Faced with operational bottlenecks and mounting demands, T-Shirt & Sons turned to automation with intelligence. The Kornit Apollo platform offered a seamless shift to high-speed, data-driven production. More than a hardware upgrade, it's an end-to-end fulfillment solution—from order entry to shipping label. Integrated software, real-time data dashboards, and automation enable the company to now process over 35,000 garments daily, with near-zero errors. Key outcomes: Dramatic reduction in turnaround times Enhanced quality control Waste and water use significantly minimized Real-time analytics for continuous optimization Golder likens the transformation to 'flying a plane on autopilot'—a smoother, smarter operation with full visibility and control. This evolution isn't just a company milestone—it's a blueprint for the industry. T-Shirt & Sons proves that sustainability, speed, and scale can coexist, setting a new POD standard driven by innovation.

FESPA 2025 Drives Global Print Innovation in Berlin
FESPA Global Print Expo 2025, along with the European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience, took place from May 6–9 at Messe Berlin, drawing top-tier professionals and innovators from across the global specialty print sector. The event served as a key arena for strategic business development, tech discovery, and cross-border networking. With total footfall reaching 23,061 and 14,036 unique visitors—up 10.5% from 2024—the show reinforced its global appeal. Attendees from 126 countries, primarily from Germany, Poland, Italy, the UK, and the Netherlands, reflected its international stature. Notably, 87% of the audience were decision-makers, with 71% holding senior roles such as CEO, director, or manager. Visitors represented a combined investment potential of €2.9 billion, with 40% planning purchases within the year. Attendees engaged deeply with the event, often staying multiple days to explore the expansive exhibits, including over 100 product and tech unveilings. The SmartHub Conference proved a major draw, offering insights into digital innovation, efficiency, and sustainable practices. Voices from the industry reinforced the event's impact: Narenda Dadid , DCC Group, saw it as a window into future trends. Felix Hartz , Sygns, valued access to novel signage solutions. Michael Ryan , FESPA, highlighted strong regional turnout and networking momentum. Executives from Brother and HP praised the show's live demos and direct customer engagement. Exhibitors like NSELED and Design Huddle noted strong lead generation and valuable discussions on personalisation and tech-led creativity.

How NASA fund cuts offer a chance for transformation
NASA is facing an unprecedented budget crisis that threatens to reshape the agency dramatically. The White House's fiscal year 2026 'skinny' budget proposal, released in May 2025, calls for a nearly $6 billion cut about 25% less than NASA's 2025 funding. Science programs face the harshest blow with a proposed 50% reduction. Traditional pillars like the Space Launch System (SLS), Orion spacecraft, and the Gateway lunar outpost are set to be phased out or cancelled after the Artemis 3 mission. While these cuts spark concern, many experts see this moment as a rare opportunity to transform NASA into a leaner, more agile agency that can thrive in a new era of space exploration. Historic scale of NASA fund cuts and their impact The scale of these cuts is historic. Adjusted for inflation, NASA's funding would revert to levels seen in the early 1960s, before the Apollo program. This level of reduction inevitably threatens thousands of jobs potentially up to 30,000 civil servants and contractors and imperils longstanding programs. The science division, responsible for some of NASA's most high-profile missions, faces the largest reductions, with key projects like Mars Sample Return cancelled and others like NEO Surveyor in uncertain limbo. Space technology efforts critical to future lunar and Mars exploration are also slated for sharp cuts. Uncertainty surrounding human spaceflight and the ISS Despite the severity, NASA's leadership has been cautious, awaiting full budget details to understand which missions might survive. The International Space Station (ISS), a symbol of international collaboration, faces cuts that could reduce crew size and accelerate retirement plans. More fundamentally, the budget signals that NASA will likely no longer operate human-rated spacecraft within five years, relying entirely on commercial providers for crew transport and exploration. Challenges of a fully commercialised human spaceflight future This potential 'commercialization' of human spaceflight raises questions about NASA's identity and public support. However, it also reflects a strategic shift that some argue NASA must embrace to remain competitive, particularly with China's expanding lunar ambitions. Experts like Alex MacDonald of CSIS and Dan Dumbacher of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics highlight the risk of workforce erosion and industrial base losses similar to those seen after Apollo and the Space Shuttle programs. Reinventing NASA through commercial partnerships Yet, amid this crisis lies opportunity. Many voices in the space community emphasize that NASA's traditional model is due for reform. The agency's bureaucratic inertia and risk aversion have hampered agility and innovation. Leveraging commercial partnerships more deeply, as NASA did during the successful COTS program that birthed SpaceX's cargo missions, could enable faster, cheaper, and more sustainable exploration. Envisioning a lunar COTS model and international collaboration Peter Garretson of the American Foreign Policy Council envisions a future where NASA acts as a central mission planner, outsourcing infrastructure development and operations to private firms through incentive-driven programs. This 'lunar COTS' model could stimulate new industry growth, keep international partners engaged by shifting focus to lunar surface contributions, and streamline NASA's core functions. Turning crisis into long-term success In sum, while the proposed 2026 budget presents severe challenges, it forces NASA to confront an urgent question: what should the agency look like for the next half-century? The difficult decisions ahead could break NASA free from outdated paradigms, enabling it to innovate, collaborate, and lead human space exploration in a more sustainable and impactful way. As MacDonald puts it, 'There is a new NASA that can emerge one that leverages commercial capabilities, operates leaner, and continues to do amazing things.' NASA's budget crisis, though painful, may be the catalyst for transformation the agency needs to remain a space exploration pioneer in the 21st century.
