Successful “Printing & Processing” Symposium 2024
The symposium - a joint event organized by the Faculty of Computer Science and Media at the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK), the Institut für Fasern & Papier (PTS) Heidenau and the Sächsisches Institut für die Druckindustrie (SID) Leipzig - took place on 24.10.2024 at the Sächsisches Institut für die Druckindustrie in Leipzig.
After a welcoming address and opening remarks by Beatrix Genest (SID), Dr. Antje Harling (PTS) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eugen Herzau (HTWK), eight presentations were given, covering a wide range of topics relevant to the paper, printing and converting industries. Those who did not attend the symposium certainly missed out on a lot of valuable information.
The effects of regulatory framework conditions on packaging were presented, the best requirements for recyclable printing inks were explained, insights into the characterization of primers for inkjet printing were given and the IGF project AproPrint was presented, in which the location and time-resolved ink penetration in inkjet printing is being investigated.
Most of the participants took advantage of the guided tours of the institute offered during the lunch break. This was followed by presentations on the printing and processing of barrier papers and on an innovative packaging solution made from food processing waste.
After a coffee break, presentations were given on trends with regard to adhesive application and quality control in the packaging industry, as well as on special adhesives for packaging applications.
We would like to thank the speakers and participants and look forward to seeing you again soon.
