Score one for 3M Commercial Graphics.  Scotchprint Wrap Film Series 1080 has made it into the New Product Showcase competition at ISA International Sign Expo 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The New Product Showcase highlights 25 of the sign industry’s most innovative products that have been introduced into the marketplace within the last year, providing the optimal platform for sign industry leaders to discover cutting edge new products and technology.  The Showcase competition will take place Friday, April 29 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.  Each contender will present its product in a two-minute pitch followed by the attendees selecting a winner.

“I am honored that Scotchprint film series 1080 has been selected to compete for the ‘Coolest New Product of 2011’ at ISA,” says Doug Blackwell, 3M business development manager.  “When customers are looking for a unique way to make their vehicle or graphics stand out from the crowd, why not use a ‘Coolest New Product’ finalist?”

Scotchprint wrap film series 1080 is a dual cast film specifically designed to provide dimensional stability and durability without the need for an overlaminate.  The pressure-activated adhesive allows you to slide and reposition the film until you apply firm pressure.  The non-visible air release channels assure a fast, easy and virtually bubble-free installation.  A 60-inch film width makes it possible to wrap almost any section of a vehicle without creating seams.

IMI Europe’s Ink Jet Technology Suppliers Showcase 2007 is happening in Barcelona on May 30 - June 1, 2007.

This unique annual conference (previously called Ink Jet Developers Conference) brings together the movers and shakers in ink jet technology development and the event is open to anyone who wants to learn more about ink jet technology and its growing applications.  Attendees will see, hear and meet the leading printhead manufacturers, ink jet ink manufacturers, chemical & materials suppliers, technology integrators and other specialists who will be exhibiting and presenting at the conference.  Attendees can also book private meetings in advance with the Technology Suppliers during the 3-day event, which annually draws 200 participants.

Inclusive with the conference programme are many breaks, lunches and receptions, giving all registrants ample time to meet with the key suppliers to this thriving industry.  Unlike regular IMI conferences and courses, the Ink Jet Technology Suppliers Showcase 2007 is a commercial event dedicated to providing new and existing users with up to date information and contacts for the latest products available to the rapidly expanding ink jet industry.

If you are a technology supplier to the ink jet printing industry and have not yet made plans to exhibit and give a commercial presentation, contact  mike@imieurope.com, call IMI at +44-1223-236920 or visit www.imieurope.com to receive a Technology Suppliers information package.
