CONFERENCE FOCUS

This course will present the concepts and measurement techniques that are required in order to understand how surface tension, wetting and capillarity affect printing processes. The first goal will be to develop the understanding of surface tension and interfacial tension, which are essential properties of the materials involved in printing systems, (e.g. ink, plastic substrates, paper, etc.). Then, the various modes of wetting and capillarity penetration, which are the basic processes underlying most printing operations, will be discussed.

This course is directly relevant to anyone working in the fields of ink jet in formulation and development, substrate development - such as papers, films, coatings as well as metal, glass or other nonporous substrates - and the development of ink jet printheads.

Then he spent two years as a postdoc at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Later he was a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and a visiting scientist at the IBM Almaden Research Center. Professor Marmur has been working in the field of interfacial phenomena and wetting for over twenty-five years. He has published many papers on the theory and practice of wetting processes and has been consulting for major companies involved in the design and utilization of ink jet printing systems. He has also participated in many international conferences and has been active in lecturing on interfacial phenomena in universities and industrial sites in many countries. In addition, Professor Marmur was an Editor of Reviews in Chemical Engineering and was on the advisory committee of the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science and the Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology.

From the Utah Olympic Park's Alf Engen Museum to The Museum & Old Territorial Jail, visitors can explore the mining-to-skiing history that makes Park City so unique. Park City was incorporated as a city in 1884. Sixty-four of Park City's buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, many of which are located along Main Street, where the Treasure Mountain Inn is located. Hiking, Mountain Biking & Cycling Park City offers some of the best mountain biking and hiking available with the town's three ski resorts providing lift-served single and double track mountain bike trails. With over 200 miles of public trails plus scenic country roads meandering through farming country available (in addition to nontrail terrain), hiking and cycling enthusiasts will find many options in the Park City area. Recreational Facilities In addition to natural attractions, Park City and nearby resorts offer many recreational activities. From the area's eight golf courses, outdoor tennis courts in the City Park, a 20,000 square foot outdoor skateboard park to the Alpine Slide, ZipRider and Mountain sledding: your free time can easily be filled. Planning Your Supplemental Recreation We could go on and on, but we think you get the idea that combining some outdoor related activities or shopping/dining with IMI's 2003 Digital Printing Summer Camp - WEST will be fun and easy to do. When you register for one or more of the courses at IMI's 2003 Digital Printing Summer Camp - WEST, we will provide you with an information package covering summer activities and recreational opportunities in the Park City area. Getting to Park City Here's the thing about Park City…it's accessible!
