“There are not a lot of articulate inkjet experts who are unaffiliated with an OEM or a component supplier in the inkjet ecosystem,” says Elizabeth Gooding, president of event organiser Inkjet Insight. “That’s why we are honoured to have so many truly insightful people sharing their experience as part of the program.
“This is an opportunity to interact with an all-star lineup of independent, international inkjet experts. Sessions will be focused on recent innovations, trends and product launches within their respective segments and present the information in the context of the market as a whole.
"Presentation materials will be augmented by links to Inkjet Insight’s Finder apps for convenient follow-on research and attendees will have access to premium Inkjet Insight content and research following the event.
“We are very happy to have the opportunity to thank several sponsors early in the process including Canon Solutions America, Colordyne Technologies, Fujifilm, Screen Americas and Solimar Systems.”
The five-day program (14-18 June) will run for 90 minutes each day, starting at 11:30 am ET (US) with sessions including:
Innovations Driving Continuous Inkjet Growth
Sheet-fed Inkjet - Innovation Comes in Many Sizes
Slowly, Slowly then Suddenly - Inkjet for Packaging & Labels

Mary Schilling, co-founder of Inkjet Insight: “We will be setting aside time for questions and dialogue so we highly recommend attending these sessions in person. However, we have also provided the ability for people to send questions in advance if the time, or time zone, doesn’t work for them.” Sessions will be available for viewing following the event, but only those who attend the session live will receive free, premium access to Inkjet Insight content.
Ralf Schlozer of Berlin-based digitalprintexpert, said, “Inkjet Insight is unique in bringing together a group of vendor independent experts around inkjet and digital print. These pros help users make decisions on inkjet presses almost every day. In a one-week series of seminars these experts cannot only give an unbiased market overview but dive in into the details in the Q&A sessions as well.”
In addition to the live event, Inkjet Insight will be curating related articles and research on segment specific pages leading up to the event to provide a hub for each topic area.
“Manufacturers are spending over a billion dollars US per year on research and development related to production inkjet technology,” say the organisers. “Every year there are more manufacturers entering the market, more devices offered by each manufacturer and more options available for each device. At the end of the day, the challenge is to choose the right tool for the job.”
