Martyn Hicks, chairman of FESPA UK, says screen printing is actually becoming ‘increasingly important' in certain sectors
Hosted in partnership with Sakurai Graphic Systems, ‘Screen Printing Now’ is set to take place in London from September 30th until October 2nd and will include various presentations, networking and product demonstrations.
Martyn Hicks, chairman of FESPA UK, explains: “We are constantly being told by our members and others in the industry that screen printing is far from a dying process, and offers unique solutions. It is actually becoming increasingly important in certain sectors.
“So, Screen Printing Now is not only a celebration of screen printing but also an opportunity for a wide range of delegates to discover how the process is accelerating its development to serve future technologies.”
With each day dedicated to one of the three main sectors - industrial, graphic, and textile—we are confident the event will provide invaluable insights and information for anyone involved in screen printing”
Speakers include representatives from the likes of DS Smith Multigraphics, the Welsh Centre for Printing and Coating, Sakurai Japan, Natgraph and Macdermid Autotype.
While presentations will give attendees valuable insight into the market, live demonstrations of kit will help showcase what technology is on offer.
The event will also serve as valuable networking opportunity for those in attendance to meet industry suppliers and discuss ideas with one another.
Hicks adds: “With each day dedicated to one of the three main sectors - industrial, graphic, and textile—we are confident the event will provide invaluable insights and information for anyone involved in screen printing.”
