Carrabassett
Valley, Maine, USA
– Information Management Institute offers its course, Ink Jet Printhead Selection & Evaluation Course on January 28-29, 2013 at the Scottsdale Cottonwoods
Resort & Suites in Scottsdale (Phoenix), Arizona.
Complete program information and online
registration is available at www.imiconf.com
According to IMI President
Al Keene, “Printhead technology developments and
advancements are enabling the use of ink jet technology in an ever expanding
array of applications.
To successfully implement
ink jet technology, one of the critical decisions is printhead selection. This course is designed to provide
information about the selection and evaluation of printheads to assist in
making the best possible decision in this key area of ink jet system
development.
As printhead technology
options continue to expand the applications horizon; IMI’s Printhead Selection & Evaluation Course
provides a unique opportunity to obtain information and insights critical
to the printhead selection and evaluation process.”
Keene continues,
“Additionally, suppliers of other systems components, electronics, inks/fluids,
etc. need to understand the printhead selection and evaluation process to
optimize their products in the rapidly expanding array of ink jet
applications.”
