(L-R) Chris Schofield and Simon Mitchell, joint managing directors of IST, will also be on hand to answer questions
IST METZ will be speaking and exhibiting at the British Coatings Federation seminars “Throwing Light on UV LED Curing”. The forums will take place at Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club in Edinburgh on 2 October and at Moor Hall in Sutton Coldfield on 9 October.
Thomas Gohl, sales manager, sheetfed, will be the speaker in Edinburgh and his colleague Jens Langer, sales director, print, will be the speaker at Sutton Coldfield. They will give the history of the technology, explain the current uses and explain the challenges to equipment design and configurations with various technology processes.
The joint managing directors of IST (UK) Simon Mitchell and Chris Schofield will also be on hand to answer questions about the adoption of UV LED technology in narrow web, sheetfed and digital markets.
Mr Mitchell commented, ‘The development of UV LED chip arrays and semi-conductor light matrices (SLMs), based on doped silicon semi-conductor technology, has brought a whole new technology to the UV printing world, displacing the traditional mercury arc lamps.’
‘We expect a really good turnout for the BCF Forums in October,’ added Mr Schofield. ‘It will be a really good place to get up to speed on the potential of UV LED.’
