New, in-depth Conference Focus:
Connecting with new Technologies, Applications & End User Trends
As a mature technology, technological developments in thermal printing are more frequently incremental than fundamental. Printhead and media technology is highly refined. Distribution channels are well established. Traditional applications remain healthy, stable thermal industry strongholds. Yet overall industry growth has slowed as a function of increased first world market penetration to GNP related numbers. Advances in ink jet continue to dominate color and photo printing markets. In view of this maturity where can the thermal industry find new and continued growth?
Technology & Product Innovations that Enable New Demand
Continued Penetration of Traditional Applications in the Developing World
IMI's 18th Annual Thermal Printing Conference departs from its traditional format to gain insights into the opportunities and challenges of exploiting world markets and capitalizing on the many new and exciting information, communications and media related innovations. In spite of advancements in competing technologies such as ink jet, the continued growth and proliferation of kiosk applications (distributed information and communications) continues to fit the inherent strengths offered by thermal printing in simplicity, reliability and specialization.
Prime areas of conference focus include
Kiosk Applications (Distributed & Automated Printing)
Digital Photo Printing
RFID Tags & Labels
IMI's 18th Annual Thermal Printing Conference program combines a diverse group of speakers who represent enabling consumer, business and industrial end-user trends with thermal industry experts. The format is designed to connect industry participants with systems and end-user product innovations and prepare thermal printing industry participants for future challenges.
