FuturePrint Tech Fest: Why should you attend?
We believe that technological innovation drives growth. So in the coming months, as markets awake and the ‘Coming Boom’ ignites and demand intensifies, digital print technology has a pivotal role to play.
Why?
It is widely accepted that COVID has accelerated change. This has led to a need for more flexible, agile and digital printing technology that can create new value, added performance and localised production across the spectrum of sectors from packaging to decor, from automotive to aviation, from textile to smart technology.
As a result, our FuturePrint partner technology community has been busy throughout lockdown innovating to solve the problems of tomorrow with an array of new developments and technologies.
And the FuturePrint Tech Fest is where they will showcase their expertise and innovation!
As well as featuring sessions showcasing new products and ideas, the FuturePrint Tech Fest, via a Studio in London, will take delegates through the ‘5 Critical Steps for Inkjet Success’. The objective is to help those who are at the start of their journey with inkjet to create the building blocks of success.
Industrial inkjet is a hugely versatile technology capable of operating in multiple markets on a wide array of substrates under the most challenging of conditions.
But to be successful and create new value, production businesses must follow the 5 critical steps to minimise failure and optimise success.
This content path is designed for anyone interested in learning some of the simple yet compelling steps whether you are an OEM creating a new inkjet machine or technology for your existing channel (or for a new market entirely), or you are responsible for a production facility and you are keen to add inkjet into your production line, or you are a brand who is keen to know the technology options and how inkjet may fit into your overall digital manufacturing strategy.
The fact is that for inkjet to work effectively in a new market application area or a specific production line, there is a relatively narrow operating window where chemistry, physics and engineering combined with experience and expertise must fuse to create the best possible solution.
It is not simply a matter of buying a machine, and then printing. There are many interrelated variable elements: The right ink chemistry, the best integration & engineering partner, software, drive electronics, inkjet head and curing technology.
In these 5 Steps, the people behind the technology will be taking us through the headline actions for any successful inkjet integration project to provide delegates with a simple yet effective road map to follow for industrial inkjet success.
New partners will be delivering sessions including Cranfield University, Durst, Global Inkjet Systems, Kamman, Marabu, Meteor Inkjet, Perigon, SICPA and Siegwerk.
They will be joining speakers and panellists from Agfa, Bobst, Colordyne Technology, DoDxAct, Fujifilm Ink Solutions Group, Global Graphics Software, Inca Digital, Industrial Inkjet, Integration Technology, Profile Recruitment, Phoseon Technology, Ricoh Europe, Sihl, Solimar Systems, Sun Chemical & Xaar.
