Inkjet Ink Manufacturing

Manufacturing Inks For Performance & Reliability

Thursday 26 - Friday 27 January, 2017

Tryp Apolo Hotel, Barcelona, Spain

COURSE FOCUS

This course is designed for those wishing to develop or source inkjet inks, or interested in commissioning their development and manufacture. It will help you understand the issues of development and testing, scale-up for manufacture and the manufacturing processes themselves, as well as covering the potential business models for an ink formulation or manufacturing company. As well as being of interest to inkjet technologists, managers will benefit from an understanding of the inkjet ink manufacturing process to set realistic project and revenue plans and decide whether to develop and manufacture in-house or source externally.
