At The Inkjet Conference in Düsseldorf, Germany (September 30 - October 01), the most important players in industrial inkjet engineering will meet to evaluate and discuss developments in industrial printing. The conference is an initiative of the European association for specialist printing manufacturers of screen, digital and flexo technology (ESMA). Agfa Graphics, ESMA member since early 2014, will present its expertise in developing inkjet inks targeted to specific applications as well as discuss ink integration in industrial applications.
As emphasized at last year's InPrint show in Hannover, Agfa Graphics is committed to being the partner of choice for system integrators developing an inkjet printing solution. The company keeps a close track of the latest developments in inkjet printing, including solutions best suited for LED curing, inter-color pinning, white ink and other specialities.
Thanks to many years of expertise in color technologies and know-how in the field of dispersion technologies, Agfa Graphics' key competence lies in tuning ink formulations to specific print systems and applications. Examples include inks for (product) decoration, packaging, label printing and more. Agfa's low-migration ink technology was awarded during Fespa 2014 (Munich, May 20-23) with the European Digital Press Association (EDP) award 2014 for the most environmental ink technology.
Marc Graindourze, Business Development Manager Industrial Inks, is one of the speakers at The Inkjet Conference. He will discuss the importance of integrating ink development in the design of complete printing solutions.
"Agfa Graphics' inks are known for their high and consistent performance in relation to the functional requirements of specific applications," says Marc Graindourze. "During The InkJet Conference in Düsseldorf we will demonstrate these high-performance inkjet inks for different applications."
The Agfa Graphics booth will display print samples and there will be time to discuss new projects and applications.
