Schaumburg, IL – The International Metal Decorators Association's annual convention is almost here and INX International Ink Co. representatives are ready for it.  In addition to sponsoring and exhibiting at the three day event that runs from May 24-26 at the Hilton Indian Lakes Resort in Bloomingdale, Illinois, INX will have two formidable experts present at one of the general sessions.

Jonathan Ellaby, VP of International Operations and Jack Knight, Director, International Technical Service for INX, will discuss "Advanced Digital Solutions for Metal Decorating", on Thursday morning, May 26 from 11:15 – 11:45 a.m.  The pair will talk about how the company's EVOLVE Advanced Digital Solutions can make a major impact on metal decorators, especially with the CP100 UV digital cylindrical printer and MD series of UV flatbed printers.  They will also discuss other digital systems available in the market.

The CP100 is designed for the short run production of cylindrical printing and its high speed technology is ideal for 2-piece cans.  The MD660 and MD1000 are perfect examples of a cost effective solution for metal decorators who are looking to transition into digital printing.  These printers achieve high resolution in excess of 1000 dpi using proven and the most reliable print head technology.  The CP100 and MD series use specially designed INX Digital EVOLVE brand UV inks and are supported by a team of digital integration specialists who are trained to assist and help customers with the transition to digital printing.

The IMDA 2011 annual convention kicks off with its Memorial Scholarship Golf Outing at the resort's course on Tuesday, May 24.  A membership meeting on Wednesday is followed by general sessions and an Awards dinner that night.  It wraps up Thursday with more general presentations, followed by Technical Tutorials in the afternoon.
