AI for Print Conference to Explore the Purpose & Potential of AI for Print
On April 16th 2024, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Print Technology will collide at our very first FuturePrint TECH: AI for Print Conference.
The theme will be to Explore the Purpose & Potential of AI for Print.
This new event promises to be a hype-free exploration of what AI can do for printing. We’re setting the stage for an open dialogue, where curiosity can meet expertise. Delegates from across the print spectrum - whether you are a developer, technologist, researcher, or part of an OEM - will find themselves in a unique environment where they can gain access to relatable and most importantly actionable content.
Conference to showcase real-life innovation for delegates to forge new ideas and connections to exploit the opportunity AI provides.
Marcus Timson, the co-founder of FuturePrint summarises our mission perfectly: ‘We're here to unravel the ‘What’ and ‘How’ of AI in printing. It’s more than theoretical reflections and discussions, it’s about tangible innovations that attendees can take back to their businesses. We want to avoid the Hype and limit the inevitable BS surrounding this exciting technology.’’

The potential for AI in printing is wide ranging including:
Increased Efficiency and Automation:
AI-driven automation streamlines various stages of the printing process, reducing manual intervention and minimising errors.
Tasks such as prepress preparation, colour correction, and quality control can be automated, leading to faster and more reliable production workflows.
Enhanced Quality Control:
AI-powered image recognition and computer vision technologies enable high-level quality control throughout the printing process.
Automated inspection systems can detect imperfections, colour inconsistencies, and other defects, ensuring that the final printed products meet the highest quality standards.
Optimised Print Job Scheduling:
AI algorithms analyse historical data, job specifications, and current workloads to optimise print job scheduling.
This leads to better resource utilisation, reduced downtimes, and improved overall production efficiency.
Personalization and Variable Data Printing:
AI facilitates personalised and variable data printing by analysing customer data and preferences.
Printing systems can dynamically adjust content, images, and layouts, allowing for customised prints at scale, catering to individual customer needs.
Predictive Maintenance:
AI-driven predictive maintenance models analyse equipment performance data to predict potential failures before they occur.
This proactive approach minimises downtime, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the lifespan of printing machinery.
Cost Reduction:
Automation and efficiency improvements lead to cost savings in labour, materials, and energy consumption.
AI helps identify areas for optimization and resource allocation, ensuring a more cost-effective and sustainable printing production process.
Faster Time-to-Market:
Automated workflows, reduced manual processes, and optimised production schedules contribute to faster turnaround times.
Businesses can respond more quickly to market demands, stay competitive, and meet tight deadlines with the accelerated printing production facilitated by AI.
Innovative Design and Creativity:
AI-powered design tools and generative algorithms assist designers in creating unique and innovative print designs.
These tools can suggest creative elements, optimise layouts, and even generate design variations, fostering a new era of creativity in print production.
Energy Efficiency:
AI-driven optimization of production processes can contribute to energy efficiency by minimising wasteful practices and ensuring optimal use of resources.
Adaptability to Market Trends:
AI analytics can identify emerging market trends, enabling businesses to adapt their printing production strategies and offerings in response to changing consumer demands.
The conference will explore these areas and more.
