    Conference Focus

    Rapid advancements in all aspects of security printing and features coupled with the international focus on security in the world today have accelerated the demand for product, document and identification protection. Developments in digital printing and methods to incorporate security features have enabled counterfeiters to mimic legitimate issuers and brand owners. However, authentication images, features and data are combined in evolving ways to thwart those who wish to deceive. These combinations of once separate technologies have allowed market opportunities for effective integration of digital printing with physical security features in a broad range of applications.

    The challenges of the world economy have made it important to prevent losses associated with counterfeited products, documents, IDs, etc. Companies and agencies are willing to invest in means to prevent fakes, to identify fraudulent products or documents and to recover losses. All end users and security technology providers must continuously seek new solutions in order to protect their products and documents while improving sales and profitability.

    IMI's Security Printing 2016 Conference addresses the challenges and opportunities with security issues and the evaluation of methods to protect products and documents. This includes a wide variety of applications including business documents, IDs, currency, gaming/event tickets, travel documents and branded products. Industry experts will address the specific role digital printing plays when producing secure documents, packaging and products, including capabilities, limitations, pitfalls and successes.
