SUMMARY:Elimination of Lamination—Digital Synthetics and the Economic Impact in the Print Room (Seminar Session) (R37)
DESCRIPTION:Fee: $125 (counts as 1 seminar towards a Value Package Plan) View Pricing
Speaker: Craig Surette
Description:
Laminated documents  stagnated while digital synthetics grew  50% per year during the great  recession.  The rapid transition of  applications from traditional  lamination to digital synthetics is being  driven by economics and productivity—but  what are the ‘right apps’,  the limitations, the benefits and the risks?   What do digital  synthetics mean to printers, their markets, their revenues, and  their  profitability?  From NASA to the grocery store aisle and every print   application in between, “Elimination of Lamination” will reveal the key  issues  of color laser technology with the latest array of synthetic  products, and the  growing trend of “durable documents from the output  tray.”Room S404b
