Press release from the issuing company
From printhead architecture and system integration, through to image quality software, ink formulation, waveform measurement, curing techniques and the latest research projects – the second edition of The Inkjet Conference (TheIJC) USA covers all aspects of industrial inkjet engineering and chemistry. Staged on 22-23 May 2019 at Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare, the conference features an additional session dedicated to label and packaging printing, prepared in partnership with Alexander Watson Associates (AWA).
TheIJC has been inaugurated in 2014 in Europe as a joint event by the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA) and Digital Direct Technologies. From the beginning it has enjoyed a strong support of drupa and sponsorship from MS Italy which helped to grow the conference to 550 participants during the last year’s edition. Launched in 2018, the US edition of TheIJC brings together over 225 attendees: technology suppliers, OEMs, engineers, chemists, innovators, researchers, print service providers and brand owners.
“TheIJC has become the meeting place of the industrial inkjet community. It is a platform where the finest development companies, big players and aspiring start-ups initiate projects for all possible market applications. Our key strength remains education about all facets of inkjet technology, combined with excellent networking opportunities”, says Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA.
“We consider inkjet as a technology and inkjet as an application. In some areas the technology and the application can be considered as mature production processes, while in others this is still a disruptive technology with novel application fields. TheIJC has maintained its position as the event where all aspects of the evolution of both the core technology and the application are covered,” adds Steve Knight, Director of Digital Direct Technologies Ltd.
Building on the technical expertise of major market and academia players, the organisers can already confirm the following topics to be presented over two conference days on two parallel tracks:
While covering the entire technological spectrum for all industrial applications, this year the conference lays additional focus on labels and packaging. The following titles have been provided by AWA, the global market intelligence company:
“Inkjet has developed to be the key print technology for various labelling and product decoration formats. As a stand-alone process, or in combination with conventional label printing, it provides the perfect combination of cost, flexibility, and efficiency. These sessions feature some of the top experts in inkjet printing and labelling, sharing how the entire value chain can capitalise on what is really happening,” says Corey Reardon, CEO of AWA.
More titles will follow shortly and all updates will be published on the conference website. The very last presentation slots are still available and all interested should submit their abstract to [email protected].
