    2019 NPIRI Conference Focuses on Regulatory, Technical Challenges

    Ink manufacturers and suppliers alike have to juggle all sorts of challenges. Environmental mandates and other regulatory issues are constantly becoming stricter. The cost, supply and availability of raw materials are a huge concern. Meanwhile, the printing industry continues to evolve, with new technologies such as printed electronics offering opportunities.

    With that in mind, the National Association of Printing Ink Manufacturers (NAPIM) will be featuring in-depth information on new regulatory changes, raw materials, new technologies and more during the 2019 National Printing Ink Research Institute’s (NPIRI) Technical Conference. The annual conference will be held Oct. 15-17 at The Drake Hotel in Oakbrook, IL As was the case last year, the conference is being held in conjunction with the Electronic and Conductive Ink Conference, which shares the morning session on Oct. 17 and continues through the morning of Oct. 18.

    George Fuchs, director, regulatory affairs and technology at NAPIM, noted that the annual NPIRI Technical Conference offers numerous benefits for attendees.

    “The NPIRI Technical Conference program is designed by ink manufacturers and suppliers to the ink industry,” Fuchs said. “The issues and topics being covered (market/business, technical and regulatory) by knowledgeable experts are those that our member companies are facing on a daily basis.  The presentations are structured to provide the insights, information and tools member companies need to respond effectively and efficiently to regulators, customers, brands and the public.”  

    The 2019 NPIRI Technical Conference will open with the Pre-Conference Short Course: Intro to Ink Formulation and Manufacturing, a three-hour short course on printing ink basics. The short course will feature sessions by Les Watkins, Lisa Fine, Jerry Napiecek, James Ford and Joe Cichon, who will discuss raw material selection and formulation, manufacturing, testing and technical service.

    The Technology Session features updates on paper substrates, carbon black, dispersion technology, color measurement and UV/LED.

    “Ink manufacturers, printers and brands are laser-focused on color. No other, single characteristic better describes our industry’s purpose.  The industry’s expertise in reliably and accurately producing ink to meet expectations and specifications is its intellectual property.  How color is quantified and measured is critically important,” Fuchs pointed out. “Keeping up to speed with technological developments within the printing ink and graphic arts industry is critical to being competitive in our industry. The use of LED curing technology continues to break new ground. This presentation will provide a background and current technology update on UV LED curing.”

    The Regulatory Session features topical updates on TSCA, global compliance issues, supply chain concerns, smart manufacturing and OSHA compliance.

    “This Regulatory Session will focus on the new and emerging compliance paradigm for our industry,” Fuchs noted. “Today’s ink manufacturers are increasingly influenced by global regulatory requirements, brands’ specification and public interest groups.   This session will give you insights into current regulatory requirements and trends in customer specifications that affect the way you formulate and market your printing inks.”

    The NPIRI Technical Conference formally opens after lunch, led by moderator Dr. Juanita Parris of Sun Chemical. Keynote speaker Dave Sullivan of SAPPI will launch the session with “Haptic Brain/Haptic Brand—A Communicator’s Guide to the Neuroscience of Touch.”

    Lee Marcoe of Lake City Press and Laura Rowell of Sonoco will follow with “Sustainability from a Printer’s Perspective.” Martin Habekost of Ryerson University is next up, followed by “State of the Industry,” a report covered by John Jilek, Jr. of Inksolutions and Bill Giczkowski of INX International Ink Co. Jilek and Giczkowski will be followed by the NPIRI Lecture honoree. From there, Napiecek of Colorcon, No-Tox Products will moderate the Supplier Showcases, followed by a reception and tabletop exhibition.

    On the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 16, Napiecek will moderate the Technical Session. Darren Gapen of WestRock will begin the Technical Session with his talk on “Paper Substrates.” Sanjay Monie,  Orion Engineered Carbons, will give his “Carbon Black Update.” On the equipment side, Barry Cullens of Hockmeyer Equipment will cover “Dispersion Technology Update.”

    Rachel Schwen, Sherwin-Williams Performance Coatings Group – Color, will discuss “Color Measurement.” “UV/ LED Update,” presented by Jennifer Heathcote of Eminence UV, will close the Technical Session.

    The Wednesday afternoon Regulatory Sessions will be moderated by Duane Ness of INX International Ink Co. It will begin with Dave Wawer of CPMA, who will cover “TSCA Update for Suppliers.” Wawer will be followed by Eric Hobbs of Ogletree Deakins, who will present “OSHA Compliance Update.”

    Jonathon Graunke of INX International Ink Co. will discuss “Supply Chain Issues 2019,” and fellow INX colleague James Bailen will center his talk on “Smart Manufacturing.” Rachel Bond of Keller and Heckman, LLP will close the Regulatory session with “Global Compliance Update.” The annual Awards Dinner will follow.

    On Thursday, Oct. 17, NAPIM/NPIRI will partner with Ink World and Printed Electronics Now magazines for its “New Technologies” session, covering Electronic and Conductive Inks.

    Lisa Fine, technical director for Ink Systems, Inc., will moderate the session, which will begin with a Keynote Talk by Dr. Erika Rebrosova of Sun Chemical, Advanced Materials Group, who will discuss “The Technologist’s Guide to Printed Electronics.” Dr. Rebrosova will be followed by Robert Waldrop of DuPont Advanced Materials, who will discuss “Stretching the Boundaries of Printed Electronics.”

    Dr. Casey Grenier of Tekscan, Inc., will then discuss “Applications for Tekscan’s Printed Force Sensor Technology, and the Inks That Make Them.” XENON Corporation’s Lou Panico will follow Dr. Grenier, and Chris Booher of ChemCubed, will close the New Technologies session with  “It’s More About the Ink Than You Think.” The Electronic and Conductive Ink Conference will continue from that point.
