What Dscoop does

Dscoop is a non-profit, user-driven community organization founded in 2005 and headquartered in Atlanta, United States. It serves as the exclusive member community for owners and users of HP Industrial Print and Large Format equipment, along with their sales, marketing, and production teams. The community facilitates peer knowledge-sharing on digital print innovation, workflow automation, AI applications, and business strategy through a combination of an online community platform, regional conferences, and member-led educational sessions.

The core product is the Dscoop Community Platform at community.dscoop.com, which hosts events, content libraries, forums, and a Solutions Showcase featuring technology partners such as XMPie and Nobelus. Dscoop supplements the platform with a regional event portfolio, including the Edge Rockies conference in North America and the Edge Slovenia 2026 conference, which marks the return of the main Edge event to Europe following conferences held from 2012 to 2019. Member case studies, such as Statex's XMPie-driven VDP and web-to-print journey and Precision Proco's network-derived revenue, are surfaced as video and article content.

The organization's revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed, but inputs indicate a recurring membership model tied to community participation and event-based monetization. The customer base is concentrated in SMB and mid-market print service providers, with two named customers (Precision Proco and Statex) and supporting programs such as the Edge Rockies Grant reaching graphic communications students. Leadership comprises a small team led by Chairman Tomas Carunungan III, with functional leads covering innovation (Leta Wood), operations (Peter van Teeseling), and creative (Chris Hyde).

Broad incumbents

• PRINTING United Alliance: The largest North American trade association for the printing industry, formed from the merger of SGIA and Printing Industries of America. Comparable to Dscoop as an industry association that runs events, certification, and member communities, but broader in scope across the entire print ecosystem rather than tied to a single OEM.
• FESPA: Global federation of national print associations serving screen, digital, and textile printing communities. Comparable to Dscoop as a federation-style community organization that hosts major events (FESPA Global Print Expo) and serves print operators, but operates across all major print technologies rather than a single OEM ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Idealliance: Print industry association and certifying body focused on standards, training, and community for print and graphic communications professionals. Comparable to Dscoop as a member-driven community that delivers peer education, certification, and events for print operators, though vendor-neutral rather than HP-exclusive.
• Xeikon: Manufacturer of digital color production presses that hosts the Xeikon Café customer event series for its installed base. Directly comparable to Dscoop as a vendor-affiliated user community model for digital production print operators, though focused on Xeikon equipment rather than HP.
• Heidelberg: Global press manufacturer that operates user community events (Heidelberg Innovation Week, Print Media Academy) for its commercial and packaging print customer base. Structurally analogous to Dscoop as a vendor-led community serving its own press owners, though Heidelberg-centric rather than HP-centric.
• Xerox: Major production print OEM that runs customer forums, user groups, and partner events (e.g., Xerox Premier Partner Global Network) for its production printer installed base. Directly comparable to Dscoop as a vendor-affiliated community model targeting production print operators.
• Canon Production Printing: Production print division of Canon that hosts customer events, user communities, and partner programs for Canon production press owners. Comparable to Dscoop as a vendor-anchored user community for production print operators, though focused on Canon equipment.
• Durst Group: Manufacturer of digital printing systems for labels, packaging, and large-format applications, with an active customer community and user events (e.g., Durst User Meeting). Directly comparable to Dscoop's vendor-community model but for Durst-installed equipment.
• EFI: Provider of digital print technology, software, and workflow solutions (now part of Ricoh) that historically ran EFI Connect, a major annual user community event for its print MIS and Fiery customers. Comparable to Dscoop's peer-driven user community format but tied to EFI/Ricoh ecosystem.
• Konica Minolta: Production print OEM that operates customer and partner community programs (Konica Minolta Global Customer Community) for its AccurioPress and industrial print customer base. Structurally analogous to Dscoop as a vendor-affiliated community serving production print operators.
