CTS imaging systems have allowed printers to vastly increase screen production and increase quality at reduced costs. Other advantages include repeat jobs being made easier and decreasing exposure time. But there is still much to consider and evaluate for first time investors and those looking to upgrade their present CTS system.

CTS and Digital Workflow 2008 will expand on the successful inaugural CTS event in February 2007, which exceeded the expectations of delegates and exhibitors who were keen to see a follow-up event. The 2008 conference will grow to also cover digital work flow specifically for screen printing and CTS.

To ensure that the event appeals to both the domestic German market and an international audience, all presentations will be simultaneously presented in English and German languages.

So that presentations are impartial and offer the latest reliable information, presenters will not only be suppliers to the industry but also printers using the technology. Suggestions from 2007 attendees have also been acted upon, and this year’s conference programme will include more coverage on all aspects supporting and using CTS. At the time of going to press, the following conference presentations will be made in simultaneous English and German languages:

4 November (day one):

5 November (day two):

Programme is subject to change.

These presentations will provide attendees from throughout the world with an insight into the systems available, the screen and stencil considerations and the in-house requirements. The expert speakers will offer printers, managers, owners, designers, print buyers and suppliers with answers to the following questions and more:

• How do I benefit from CTS?
• What’s the payback time?
• Do I need to change my existing system?
• Inkjet, wax, laser LED?
• Is it faster to get a print job done than with my present system?
• What guarantees do I have that my investment will be sound?
• Do I need to employ more people?
• Can I reuse the screens?
• What training support can a supplier give me?
• What if it goes wrong?

The event will be staged in Neuss, Germany from 4-5 November 2008 in the easily accessible Swissotel Hotel, located conveniently close to the well connected Düsseldorf Airport. Special room rates have been negotiated and an evening dinner reception at the hotel will offer an excellent networking opportunity. To reserve your room at a discounted conference rate,
