 Al Keene, President of IMI opening the 14th Annual European Ink Jet Conference, back in sunny Barcelona this year |
 Top-rated speaker John Corrall from Industrial Inkjet, representing KonicaMinolta, discussed advances in KM's printhead technology |
 Dr. Moshe Frenkel from perfecta jet talked about coatings to improve print quality, and brought along some colourful examples to prove the point |
 Tracey Stephens of Xennia described the development and commercialisation of a UV-curable ink for thermal ink jet printheads |
 Marco Boer of IT Strategies talked about wealth creation in the industry, and the recent mergers and acquisitions |
 Steve Temple of Xaar discussed ink jet as a digital coating system, plus new engineering and medical applications |
 Our receptions are great times to unwind and enjoy each others company. This is the Ink Jet Academy and UV Course reception. |
 The Ink Jet Conference was almost sold out, so next time we will need to find extra capacity |
 Lunch was an extensive buffet of Catalonian dishes |
 Part of the lunch seating was in the 'garden', which is roofed over in case of rain. |
 The evening receptions were a great time to meet speakers, exhibitors and to make new contacts and friends |
 Here for once poor James can't get a word in! |
 Many industry vendors took advantage of free table top space at this event |
 No one goes away hungry or thirsty at IMI conferences |
 Discussions carried on during the evening between the delegates |
 Some vendors brought along exhibits and technology demonstrations |
 Happy times! This is what a couple of bottles of Cava can do! |
