Ink jet is becoming a major technology for a wide range of graphics printing, manufacturing and dispensing applications.  Even the major conventional printing show Drupa later this month will be dominated by new and exciting ink jet products.  Therefore we are offering some very special courses to help you and your company better understand this exciting technology and help you develop new products and processes.

THE INK JET ACADEMY - THEORY OF INK JET TECHNOLOGY
Imperial College, London
July 8-9, 2008
This course has been running for over 8 years now, and over 1,900 have attended. Both technical and marketing staff will appreciate this broad introduction to ink jet printing, ink jet ink and systems technology.
 
SURFACE TENSION, WETTING & CAPILLARITY
Imperial College, London
July 8-9, 2008
This advanced course will appeal to those interested in the way that fluids form drops and how they wet surfaces. This is especially important for deposition applications of ink jet as well as for graphics printing. The course is led by Professor Avi Marmur of Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, one of the world’s experts in this field.
 
INK JET INK MANUFACTURING
Imperial College, London
July 10-11, 2008
This course explains what is involved in taking an ink jet ink from a basic formulation to a finished product. It will appeal not just to ink developers but also managers who want to understand the issues involved in in-house manufacturing of this lucrative consumable.
 
PIEZO PRINTHEAD TECHNOLOGY
Imperial College, London
July 10-11, 2008
This course will describe in detail piezo materials and their properties, how they are used to make drop on demand printheads, and how these heads operate from a theoretical point of view. Course leader Steve Temple was an inventor of the Xaar technology and until recently Technical Director.

The location of these courses is Imperial College, close to Hyde Park in the centre of London.  Accommodation is available in a new modern student apartment block, with en-suite facilities, broadband internet and full breakfast for only GBP 70.

Full course and accommodation details, a downloadable brochure, and on-line registration is now available at our web site www.imieurope.com.

If you need a hands-on ink jet course, where you get to formulate inks and test them in real printheads, then you should consider our Ink Jet Academy – Practice of Ink Jet Technology course.
