Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY
FTA’s upcoming Fall Technical Conference—part of its 65th anniversary celebration and taking place October 9-11 in Louisville, Kentucky—will showcase an exciting, must-see print demonstration project at the center of its three-day agenda, bookended by presentations covering workforce productivity, product quality and accurate color reproduc- tion. The project perfectly captures Fall Technical Confer- ence’s theme of “Doing More with Less” by utilizing The Optimal Method—a groundbreaking color calibration tech- nique—and featuring digitally formulated spot colors with expanded gamut. Each attendee will receive their own print sample to compare dozens of spot colors built with both 7-color and CMYK. On stage, industry experts will walk through the project from start to finish, highlighting its cost savings, waste reduction and efficiency improve- ments. “Imagine an inkroom with only seven drums, instead of hundreds of jugs for specific spot colors. Or how much press time could be saved by formulating colors during prepress instead of press-side,” said Joe Tuccitto, FTA Director of Education. “The print project at Fall Technical Conference makes these a reality, and we can’t wait to share the results.” Before attendees dive into the project, they’ll hear from expanded gamut pioneers Mark Samworth, who will re- view its history and principles, as well as Kariahlyn Lindsey and Johnny Dye of Accredo Packaging, a printer that im- plemented expanded gamut years ago. Rounding out the conference agenda are presenta- tions on boosting productivity, fostering leadership at all organization levels, high-level calibration techniques, col- or communication resources and tools, methods to control print production, and each of the three 2023 FTA Techni- cal Innovation Award recipients. Following the final pre- sentation on Wednesday, printer/converters will have the chance to win a prize package valued at nearly $6,000. Away from the conference stage, attendees have two afternoons to see package printing technologies focused on efficiency and productivity inside INFOFLEX at Fall Technical Conference, where they can connect with ex- hibitors from every piece of the production workflow, re- ceive one-on-one insights and find solutions to do more with less. With an all-new CPC Connect program to attract brand owners, the conference is an opportunity for printer/con- verters to attend for free to enjoy an agenda built to ad- dress the industry’s hottest topics The conference caps off a celebration of FTA’s 65th an- niversary.
