What deutscher drucker does

Deutscher Drucker is a German trade publication and B2B media platform serving the printing industry. It is operated as a publication brand under Ebner Media Group GmbH & Co. KG, a privately held German media group headquartered in Ulm. The core offering combines a monthly print and digital magazine (Deutscher Drucker) covering packaging, label, digital, offset, and post-press printing with the print.de online news portal, which delivers daily news, technical articles, video content, and industry event coverage. Distribution spans DACH and international readers.

The platform's underlying technology is a web-based digital publishing system with content management, video delivery, and e-commerce storefronts for digital downloads, magazine subscriptions, and job postings. Monetization is diversified across four streams: magazine subscriptions and single issues (€12.90 digital, €14.90 print including shipping in Germany), paid E-dossier PDFs covering technical topics such as color measurement and process optimization (€2.90–€19.90), advertising and sponsorships on the news portal, and featured job postings via the dedicated jobs.print.de recruitment marketplace. A separate co-branded magazine, Grafische Palette, extends the print portfolio.

Go-to-market is multi-channel: daily and weekly email newsletters, a specialized large-format printing newsletter, the self-serve jobs portal, and live industry events including the Druck&Medien Awards and the European Printing Summit. Customer segments are vertical, targeting printing service providers, prepress and finishing professionals, and printing equipment manufacturers across the German-speaking market. No revenue, headcount, funding, or AI capability disclosures are present in the available data.
