Summer Camp--not just for kids

StevenSimske — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:12:00 GMT

OK, you've been looking forward all Spring to the Summer. Lazy days at the pool, beach, partially reflective tar covered roof, whatever. Then, about two weeks in, reality strikes. You're just as busy in June, July and August as you were when St. Patrick, taxes or the May pole demanded your attention. Don't you wish you could go back to a simple, halcyon time, when all you had to worry about was Summer Camp?

Not very easy in this economic climate, that's for sure. So, why don't you have your Camp, and learn, too? IMI has a solution for you--their Digital Printing Summer Camp 2009. Want to find out how digtal printing--with short runs, customized materials, just-in-time printing, sustainability-friendly materials and use cycles--will lead printing into the mobile, savvy, Gen-W ("whatever!") future? And kick your feet in a lake in Maine?

Give it a go (and read the attachment below--see just above "Add a Comment"--to find out more).

Is this a pitch for IMI? Absolutely. I've attended an IMI event in the past. It's a good thing. You will get a big head!

Here are the courses being offered at IMI’s Digital Printing Summer Camp 2009 on July 27-31, 2009 at the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel, Carrabassett Valley, Maine. See www.imiconf.com for complete details:

Ink Jet Academy: Theory of Ink Jet Technology – July 27-28, 2009

Digital Printing Markets – July 27-28, 2009

Ink Jet Ink Manufacturing – July 29-30, 2009

Color & Color Management – July 30-31, 2009

Managing Product Development for Value – July 30-31, 2009

Either way, here's wishing you a happy Summer 2009!

Call for Papers, Security and Forensic Printing

StevenSimske — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 05:01:00 GMT

Security printing professionals may be interested in submitting to the IS&T/ISJ sponsored NIP25 conference, the "International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies"

http://www.imaging.org/conferences/nip25/index.cfm

(currently, the deadline for submission is 22 February)

I'm honored to co-chair the session on "Security and Forensic Printing". If you are involved in any way, shape or form with digital printing, consider submitting to this or another session (see Call For Papers link). Co-located with another excellent conference, DigiFab, and within driving distance of half the population in US and Canada, it may be easier to reach in this economic downturn than its competing conference, the Antarctic Digital Printing Conference (ADPC). Unlike the black and white penguins at ADPC, you'll meet some of the world's best color experts. Likewise, learning about laserjets in Louisville is certainly better for the environment than ADPC's planned special event, the walrus hunt and large petroleum lake fire. Please consider the more educational and earth-friendly alternative.

Cheers,

Steve
