Omet Open House Inaugurates Demo Center More than 250 label industry professionals took part in the “Omet Hybrid Experience,” an open house event dedicated to the opportunities provided by hy- brid printing technology in the label industry. Held on January 24-25 at the new Omet Drome, the event offered technical presentations, live demos and visits to the Omet production sites. Highlighting the event were live demonstrations of the hybrid Omet XJet powered by Durst, which dis- played the machine’s performance in terms of tech- nology, f lexibility, productivity and infinite customization possibilities. Another featured demo was of the Omet iFlex, presented with hybrid curing configuration: UV and LED printing simultaneously. Technical presentations were dedicated to the fu- ture of label printing. Paolo Grasso, Omet’s Head of Sales - Labels Business Unit, spoke about the advan- tages of digital + flexo hybrid printing technology proposed by Omet in collaboration with Durst, and those offered by flexo with UV-LED printing shown on iFlex. FTA’s Fall Conference 2019 Headed To Charlotte FTA is taking its annual Fall Conference, themed “Time Is Money,” to Charlotte, North Carolina. The event will take place Oct. 28-30 in the heart of down- town at the Sheraton Charlotte Hotel. Keith Nagle of Phoseon Technology will be chairing the event. Session topics will be centered around the journey of a flexographically printed piece, from be- ginning to end. A separate tabletop exhibit showcas- ing 65+ companies will be open intermittently between sessions as well as in the evenings through- out the duration of the conference, bringing technol- ogy solutions from the sessions to real-time fruition. “This year,” Nagle said, “we will systematically re- view and follow the steps of optimization and fin- gerprint to show their importance in improving your process, quality, throughput and most impor- tant bottom line.This project-based conference will take you through the journey from proper compo- nent selection to final print with technical industry suppliers.” Fall Conference 2019 will span the gamut of indus- try attendees, from CEOs to managers to operators. Close proximity to Clemson University and Central Piedmont Community College will open up opportu- nities for networking with the next generation to en- list up-and-coming flexographic professionals.
