Inkjet Inks: Materials & Applications
Inks and Materials for Digital Applications
Wednesday 23 – Thursday 24 January 2019
COURSE FOCUS
Building on the back of the success of wide format graphics applications, industrial inkjet printing has penetrated many market areas by utilising a wide range of different
ink chemistry approaches.
The course gives an overview of the different ink platform technologies in use today, with an emphasis on practical aspects of materials selection and optimisation for
the low viscosity requirement of inkjet printing. Looking from the application viewpoint the potential ink solutions are compared and contrasted. Key issues surrounding
the integration of inkjet ink technology into industrial printing within a production environment are also considered.
The course is aimed at developers wishing to adopt inkjet technology in their industrial production processes, or those who are already skilled in one area and are
looking to understand the wider potential of inkjet chemistries available.
