Held at Swansea University on 7-8 October, the event will preview a range of new and experimental print techniques, with speeches from the centre's experts.

Glyn Davies, innovation and technology officer at the WCPC said: "The conference provides a window on to emerging opportunities for the printing community and a unique opportunity to view the latest WCPC research in printing technology.

"Each presentation will be a technical paper based on the latest results and analysis derived from controlled experiments and numerical models.

"The breadth of activity of the WCPC across all aspects of the print process frequently astounds first-time delegates. For many the conference has been the springboard to their growing benefit from involvement with the WCPC."

The subjects discussed will include printed electronics, measurement technologies, nano silver inks, printed magnetic materials for wound healing and printed bio-chemical sensors.

Delegate fee is £250 for industrial delegates and £195 for academic institutions and members of the European Flexographic Industry Association, which is supporting the event.
