Ink Jet Printhead Selection & Evaluation Course: January 28-29, 2013

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.”
