According to William Li, ICC co-chair and color technology manager, Kodak, “In a world where everyone competes equally on price and time to market, color is the way to differentiate your printed product from the rest of the pack. Interestingly, it turns out that taking the journey to improve your color quality also improves your bottom line and your time to market. The Print Business Outlook Conference 2016 will be one of the best places for print industry companies to learn how, in a market undergoing rapid change, to get ahead in color technology and enhance their product strategy.”

To this end, we have joined together with NPES and ICC to host the Print Business Outlook Conference 2016.” He adds, “While not only giving our members insight into the future of print, we are also pleased to bring this carefully curated conference and sold-out event to the attention and benefit of the print fraternity worldwide.”
