Inkjet India 2015 also featured an exclusive exhibition area where technology & ink providers could interact with the delegates and potential clients to showcase their products & technology.

Inkjet Forum India kickstarts training initiative.With the expertise gained over the past 5 years in digital textile printing and closely understanding the needs of the technology users worldwide, Inkjet Forum India has formulated a unique “first of its kind" series of practical training sessions under its ‘Inkjet Workshop’ brand. These exclusive “invite only” workshops will aim to address & resolve specific technical, operational & commercial issues in the entire digital textile printing supply chain. “Being a leading knowledge sharing platform on digital textile printing we want to facilitate companies to build successful business models around this technology” says Aditya Chandavarkar (Founder – Inkjet Forum India) Digital Textile printing has been present in India for the past 15 years however the high print quality and superior color accuracy being produced in other countries has not been achieved to the same extent in India. One reason for this is the lack of precise understanding and poor implementation of digital color matching & profiling standards. Therefore, Inkjet Forum India kick started this initiative with a workshop on color matching/profiling for digital textile printing at two locations in Delhi & Surat supported by DPInnovations, Colorjet & Xrite. It was ensured that each location will be fully equipped with required printing & color measuring equipment for the participants to practically experience the entire workflow.

This workshop series was the first of its kind worldwide to provide real hands on knowledge ensuring the optimum print results can be obtained from every type of digital printing equipment and software. For company owners this will ensure greater success, less errors and increase the confidence of the textile industry in India towards Digital Textile Printing technology.

With more than 200 diverse delegates from various disciplines of the textile industry over 3 locations, it once again proved to be a great knowledge-sharing platform. Please visit www.inkjetforumindia for more details about Inkjet Forum India event itinerary.
