WCPC is a world renowned research centre dedicated to advancing the understanding and productivity of printing and coating. WCPC enhances the understanding of the printing and coating processes, exploit novel manufacturing using printing and apply its scientific findings to the benefit of its global industrial partners.

The conference provides a unique opportunity to view the latest WCPC research in printing technology, to discuss the findings with researchers and to network with like minded industrial delegates. Each presentation will be a technical paper based on latest results and analysis derived from controlled experiments and numerical models. All attendees receive printed copies of the PowerPoint slides & abstracts for each of the papers presented. Delegates will also have the opportunity to network at the conference dinner.
