CONTENT OF THEORETICAL BLOCKS
PIEZO INKJET
Overlooks the fundamentals of inkjet printhead technology, their geometry, functionality and the variety of physical structures, as well as their drive parameters and key influencing factors for the inkjet printing processes.
INKS AND SUBSTRATES
Ink types such as UV, solvent, eco solvent and aqueous, raw materials, rheology, drying, wetting, dot gain, adhesion, pretreatment and colour management.
COLOUR MANAGEMENT
Quality assurance strategies in production printing, colour measurement, RIP systems and extended gamuts.
INKJET – TECHNOLOGY AND ITS LIMITS
Piezo inkjet and other industrial inkjet printing technologies of different manufacturers, their design, advantages and disadvantages, physical limitations.
PRINTING EQUIPMENT AND MACHINES
Mechanics, fluidics, electronics, datapath, RIPs, single colour print bars (extended gamut printing).
INKJET 1-ON-1
Special breakout sessions to answer your individual questions

For whom
The ESMA Academy is targeted towards companies who:
• want to obtain a well-founded overview on digital printing technologies, especially on piezo inkjet, in order to make an educated decision to what extend inkjet technologies could be integrated into their production process.
• want to obtain basic inkjet know-how in order to plan a possible introduction of inkjet technologies into their organisation and facilitate their investment decisions.
• are planning to start with inkjet or have already installed inkjet equipment in their organisation but are still at the very beginning of the learning process.
Tutors
• Jochen Christiaens, Zeller Gmelin
• Prof. Dr. Stefan Güttler, Hochschule der Medien
• Jan Janhsen, Fraunhofer IPA
• Oliver Kammann, K-Flow Consulting
ESMA Certificate
