A Signature Event
We are pleased to invite your participation in our 2008 Seminar and Exhibit on Ink Jet Inks & Media. This meeting is a new event for The Tiara Group, tuned to the trends and directions of a dynamic industry. It combines the topics of our previous seminar series on Specialty Papers & Media with a parallel sequence on ink jet inks. This new seminar is designed as a platform for business interaction among the many ink makers, dealers and distributors as well as the media producers, raw material and equipment suppliers that support this expanding industry sector.

The Program was constructed to include the most important issues, concerns, and developments in the business, markets and technology of ink jet printing. The panel of Speakers at this year's event will feature leading marketing and technical experts to analyze these issues.
Among the innovative highlights are talks on the new page-wide array, ink jet printheads that are opening up new applications for high speed, high resolution printing. In addition, this seminar will update your understanding of ink formulation, print permanence, accelerated aging test methods, and ink jet printing for desktop photography. You will hear industry experts analyze the markets for narrow and wide format printing, and how ink jet will compete with toner-based imaging processes going forward.

Location and Accommodations
You'll find The Westin Resort an elegant 410 room hotel located on the grounds of the Port Royal Plantation, a choice property on the Southeastern shore of Hilton Head Island. It was built on a spacious, secluded oceanfront setting where relaxation, luxury and Southern Hospitality are gracefully blended. Designed as a major conference facility, The Westin is replete with banquet rooms, audio visual equipment and meeting services that are truly world class.
