Held at the Meteor Inkjet Laboratories in Harston, near Cambridge, the Inkjet Ink Characterisation Practical Course is the ideal way to get a hands-on introduction to key aspects of inkjet ink physical property measurement and analysis.
This course covers rheology and surface tension measurements, particle and dispersion assessment as well as drop visualisation.
The course is led by industry experts Meteor Inkjet, TriJet, KRÜSS, Malvern Panalytical and Netzsch, and includes extensive demonstration time on characterisation equipment covering the vital inkjet ink measurements.
This practical course is limited to 16 places so make sure you register early to secure your seat.
Open Lab Session
There is an option to register for the open lab session on the Thursday morning in addition to the rest of the course.
This session gives you the opportunity to bring your own samples and use the state of the art equipment available to assess them, while getting advice from the experts on hand in the lab.
There are 10 spaces available at the Open Lab session and MSDS data must be supplied for any samples to be brought into the lab.
Viscosity, Dispersions, Jetting & Surfaces
Development of high quality inks and fluids for inkjet applications requires state-of-the-art characterisation equipment and techniques.
From fundamental ink properties such as viscosity and surface tension, which have a crucial impact on jetting performance, through analysis of particulates dispersed within the ink, understanding these properties is key to getting the best out of an ink development project.
In addition, it is vital to understand how the developed ink actually behaves, both on ejection from the printhead and when landing onto the substrate of choice.
The Inkjet Ink Characterisation Practical course gives an excellent hands-on introduction to these essential areas of study, presented by industry experts from leading suppliers in the field.
The course will give you the basic foundations as well as a more detailed understanding of the vital equipment and techniques, while allowing you to understand how the key characterisation equipment works and see it in action.
The course also allows you to bring your own ink samples and get the resident experts to help you with particular characterisation problems you may be having.
