Confirmed Program

Morning Technical Session: “New developments and trends in digital printing technologies"

Digital printing is a rapidly growing segment of the commercial printing market. Color digital production presses offer high image quality and enable personalized print, as well as very fast turn around short run print, both of which are high value products. The strengths of digital printing are complementary to those of analog printing, which excels at longer run lengths.

How Kodak digital printing solutions can turn daily challenges of change into the seeds of business growth.

Industrial printing applications benefit from the increased reliability and flexibility of the latest inkjet printheads with TF TechnologyTM (ink recirculation through the ink channels). Improved maintenance performance and a wider range of jettable fluids specifically address the needs of high duty print operations such as web or sheet fed printing.

Afternoon Technical Session: “New fields of application of digital printing / digital fabrication”

Inkjet printing is characterised by low inkjet wastage, high repeatability and negligible impact on the print substrate. As such, inkjet printing is an ideal technology for delivery of high value fluids. This talk will cover recent developments in application of inkjet printing for fashion design, biosensor and anti-counterfeit products.

The adaption of traditional printing technologies, characterized by very high productivities, to the fabrication of conducting and semi-conducting structures will help to pave the way for large area, low end organic electronics. The talk will illustrate production opportunities and discuss recent results of the fabrication of printed electronics.

The talks describes the vision of printed electronics, the concept, possibilities and the challenges of the production of the first printed products (e.g., Low-Cost RFID). It outlines the status of PolyIC and positions it to recent activities of the OE-A the organic electronic association
