| COURSE FOCUS | ||
| As ink jet printing continues to make technology advancements in product functionality, cost performance, print quality and color printing capabilities, the interest in utilization of UV-based ink jet systems is expanding rapidly. IMI's UV Ink Jet Course is designed to provide thorough coverage of basic UV chemistry, curing, issues critical to UV-based ink jet systems implementation and how UV technology has been implemented in current products and applications. While UV inks provide instant drying; enable a wide choice of substrates; result in good end use properties (adhesion, durability, flexibility, etc.) and enable good printhead reliability - potential users must understand basic UV chemistry; UV ink components; ink formulation issues; hardware development criteria, health & safety issues, etc. to effectively and successfully implement UV ink jet systems. As UV ink jet printing continues to expand; IMI's UV Ink Jet Course provides a unique opportunity to obtain information and insights critical to UV ink jet printing technology implementation in ever growing market and application sectors. |
