TLMI Announces Program For printTHINK Summit TLMI will be holding the association’s 14th technical summit, rebranded as printTHINK, September 11-13 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois. This year’s sessions will take attendees through a wide range of topics that address the central day-to- day issues converters and industry suppliers face, in addition to the drivers and key trends that are reshap- ing the North American narrow web sector. Some of the printTHINK session topic highlights include: Everything LED In this session, attendees will explore the intrica- cies LED converters should consider when deciding to adopt the technology. Attendees will hear from in- dustry suppliers on the most common questions they receive about the technology including inks, coatings, performance characteristics, and equipment require- ments for both new and installed presses. The panel will help guide converters through the LED journey to gain valuable insight before making an investment.
