The 1st International Printing Technology Symposium will be held in October 2015 in Istanbul by Marmara University's Department of Printing Technology, a part of the School of Applied Sciences. Istanbul is one of the world's most important cities with a rich history and unique beauty.
The printing industry, as all others, is experiencing constant scientific innovation, leading to the expansion and development of our field into other industries. The 1st International Printing Technologies Symposium will show you where and how to take the lead in the printing and media industry in the 21st century. Formerly, print and printing terms were classically understood as “to transfer images onto paper” . However, significant changes have been observed in a variety of substrates and image transfer systems with current technological developments. So today, different printing surfaces, new surface coatings, efficient and industrial-scale technologies such as multi-layered surface studies, development and methods have attracted the attention of both researchers and the commercial sector.
To adapt and focus on new technology has emerged as a necessity for the above reasons. The development of sustainable technologies and environmentally friendly products has gained importance in recent years. Hybrid systems used in printing technology, ecological and e-inks, environmentally sensitive substrates, printed electronics materials, digital printing methods, printed packaging and labeling technology and variable printings are all examples of new products and approaches that have emerged due to these developments.
These symposiums are an exclusive platform for the scientific institutions, the printing industry, other industries that support printing, and governmental organizations and industry non-governmental organizations to come together to discuss and share innovations and attempt to find solutions to problems. Our target is to create new projects and new synergies.
We believe that this symposium will be more benefical to both academia and industry with your participation.
Thank you…
