Join us in Pittsburgh for the 24th International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies and Digital Fabrication 2008!
For more than two decades, NIP has been the leading forum for discussions of advances and new directions in non-impact and digital printing technologies. This comprehensive, industry-wide conference includes all aspects of the hardware, materials, software, images, and applications associated with digital printing systems, including drop-on-demand ink jet, wide format ink jet, desk top and continuous ink jet, toner-based laser printers, production digital printing systems, and thermal printing systems, as well as the engineering capability, optimization, and science involved in these fields.
Since 2005, the Digital Fabrication conference has been exploring the potential of digital printing technologies with sessions on new applications and materials that go well beyond traditional printing and have been used to produce MEMS and electronic devices.
Collocation of these two preeminent meetings gains attendees access to more than 250 papers spanning the topics described inside this pamphlet, from commercial/industrial printing and image permanence to 3D printing and printed architectural components. The synergy created by collocation affords leading scientists and engineers from many non-impact printing related fields the opportunity to discuss overlaps and intersections between the technical areas of imaging and manufacturing.
Tutorials
In addition to stimulating technical sessions, NIP24 and Digital Fabrication 2008 attendees will be able to choose from 25 tutorials taught by world-renowned experts on a wide range of digital printing technology subjects. You are sure to find a tutorial of interest that either introduces you to a new field or keeps you up to speed with the latest developments in your field! Be sure to check out the tutorial offerings in the Preliminary Program.
Keynotes
A highlight of the conference will be keynote addresses by leading authorities in the industry and related scientific fields. Keynotes provide attendees with a broad perspective on industry-wide issues, important technical achievements, and market trends. This year’s keynotes will look at packaging and digital printing; managing
transition to color in transactional printing; numerical simulations in electrophotography; digital fabrication in electronics; and digital
biofabrication.
Special Topic Sessions
A number of special topic sessions offering invited presentations by experts in key areas related to digital printing and imaging will survey developments in the field and present new contributions. These sessions give conference participants an invaluable opportunity to learn more about emerging and core technologies in these areas:
- Advanced materials,
- nanoparticles, and photoreceptor architectures in imaging
- Digital art
- Digital packaging
- Enhancing the value of digital prints by finishing
Print Galleries
The Print Gallery provides an up-close, detailed look at the performance capabilities and relative advantages of various printing technologies on paper and traditional media. Those interested in participating should contact Dinesh Tyagi at tyagi@kodak.com.Special Panels
There are three special panels being planned for NIP24/Digital Fabrication 2008:- Limitations and challenges of IJ and EP printing, with a specific focus on environmental and reliability issues
- Exhibitor panel: an introduction to exhibiting companies, their products, and services
- Intellectual property
