The thesis of IT Strategies is that where demand is perceived to exceed current ink jet technology capabilities, the technology can still satisfy some of the immediate needs, gain a commercial beachhead, and evolve into a more complete solution. This leads to a development and maturing of markets that could not otherwise have been predicted by more traditional linear projection methods. While quantifications and models of the possible future are provided in consistent and detailed fashion during the tutorial, an equal objective behind it is to explain and illustrate the correct methods appropriate to this analysis in order to confer credibility on it. These methods require a close knowledge of user markets, ink jet technology itself, and the core technical and economic factors that drive both from an independent point of departure through an increasing interdependence as the involvement of users with technologies moves forward over time. Such analysis is capable of credibly predicting where technology and investment can, and probably will, be directed in the future.

Benefits:
This course will enable the attendee to:

• Understand for all ink jet’s projected future markets where demand (including economic conditions) and technology capability meet both now and prospectively over the next five plus years
• Access a quantified model and rationale for specific market development
• Assess realistic goals for ink jet technology development over the next five years
• Review the competitive positioning of available ink jet technologies

Intended Audience: those who wish to gain an understanding of the status of competitive ink jet technology offerings—as well as of the potential demand for available technology in new markets over the next five years—and a methodology that may be applied to gain this understanding.

Before joining the faculty of the School of Print Media, she worked as a research scientist at the Image Permanence Institute at RIT. Frey publishes, consults, and teaches in the US and around the world on various issues related to establishing digital image databases and digital libraries. She is also involved in several international standards groups dealing with Technical Metadata and Digital Photography.

Martin Jürgens studied photography and design at the Technical University in Dortmund, Germany. He holds an MS from Rochester Institute of Technology and a Master of Art Conservation (MAC) from Queen’s University in Kingston, specializing in paper conservation. Since 2001, Jürgens has been working as a photograph conservator in private practice in Hamburg, Germany. His areas of research and teaching include historic and contemporary photography, and the materials, chemistry, and preservation of digital prints.

Benefits:
This course will enable the attendee to:

• Understand the design and function of organic photoreceptors in an electrophotographic printer
• Appreciate photoreceptor interaction issues in the design of an electrophotographic system
• Value the interplay between photoreceptor architecture and electrophotographic function
• Identify the relationship between chemical make up and the function of the various layers in an organic photoreceptor
• Explain the technologies involved in the manufacturing and testing of organic photoreceptors
• Describe how organic photoreceptors are studied and characterized
• Discuss the mechanisms of charge generation and transport in organic photoreceptors
• Clarify photoreceptor failure modes and diagnose problems

Intended Audience: students, sales and marketing personnel, technicians, engineers, and scientists interested in understanding organic photoreceptors and how they function in modern digital electrophotographic printers will benefit from this course. A general background in chemistry, physics, and the electrophotographic process is helpful, but not essential.

David S. Weiss, scientist fellow at Eastman Kodak Company, received his PhD in chemistry from Columbia University (1969). His work focuses on electrophotographic technologies with an emphasis on organic photoreceptors. He holds 17 US patents and has authored more than 90 publications. Weiss is co-author of Organic Photoreceptors for Imaging Systems (Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1993) and Organic Photoreceptors for Xerography (Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1998), and is co-editor of the Handbook of Imaging Materials, Second Edition (Marcel Dekker, Inc., 2002). He has been an Associate Editor of the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology since 1988 and has served as General Chair of NIP17 and in many other NIP committee assignments. In 1999, Weiss received the Carlson Memorial Award; in 2004 he was named an IS&T Senior Member; and in 2006, he was elected to the IS&T board as a vice-president.
