New York, N.Y. – Printing Industries Alliance, announced that registration is now open for attendees for their DIGITAL PRINT THINK TANK III scheduled for Thursday February 21st 2019.

Why is this event so popular with printers?

Printers have requested this format where presses can easily be evaluated. Printers know that it is not just the best press that wins, but instead the best press for your specific company, for your unique clients and your applications.

This event will be our third Digital Print Think Tank. The first Think Tank was held in October 2015 and had an attendance of 110; our second Think Tank was held in July 2017 and had an attendance of 150 including printers and media. We are shooting to increase this number on February 21st 2019 and will focus on increasing the number of printers. In addition to our NY, NJ, PA footprint we will be including printers from throughout the Mid- Atlantic and Northeast regions and beyond.

Registration for attendees includes continental breakfast, lunch, all day coffee and beverages as well as an end of the day cocktail reception. The all -inclusive cost has been reduced to $109. The actual cost is north of $200. For attendees from other affiliates an additional $30 deduction is offered as a partial train fare rebate.

2017 presentation sponsors included Xerox, HP, Fujifilm, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, EFI, Komori, Screen, Canon, Kodak, Xeikon, and Heidelberg.

The event will cut across all digital printing technologies from toner to ink jet and all applications will be discussed including labels and packaging, wide format, direct mail and books.
In addition to presentations there will be discussion panels that will include a panel of digital printers and end-users and also a panel of digital press manufacturers.
