SEMINAR FOCUS

The Chemically Prepared Toner Seminar will cover the manufacturing methods for chemically prepared toners as well as their benefits and the reasons they are receiving significant attention by the toner and laser printing industry. The state-of-the-art plus manufacturing issues and barriers to adoption will be addressed. Manufacturing methods, current products and industry trends will provide valuable insights to all those involved in or impacted by the growth of chemically prepared toners now and in the future.

The Chemically Prepared Toner Seminar will serve as an excellent primer or refresher course for those desiring to obtain the latest perspective on chemical toners prior to IMI's 8^th Annual Toner & Imaging Chemicals Conference on February 2 - 4, 2005 or immediately following IMI's 13^th Annual Laser Printing Conference on January 31 - February 2, 2005; both at the same location.
