Print shops and also clients have been navigating this field of tension for years. What influence do variable data printing or personalisation have? Does AI help in everyday printing and which process has the lowest CO2 footprint? These and many other topics will be addressed at the Fogra symposium ‘Digital printing meets offset’ on 21 and 22 May 2025.
With a total of 17 presentations, the topics range from artificial intelligence and the digital reproduction of spot colours to sustainability and variable data printing. Speakers will come from industry and research and shed light on the topics from different perspectives. A high degree of practical relevance will be emphasised. The first five speakers have already been confirmed.
