Proceedings / Printing Future Days 2013

This book contains all contributions presented on the conference Printing Future Days 2013. The conference was held in Chemnitz, Germany, under the auspices of iarigai, the International Association of Research Organisations for the Information, Media and Graphic Arts Industries. The papers comprise topics from traditional graphic arts printing to functional printing beyond colour and aspects of new media. The Printing Future Days 2013, dedicated again to young scientists presenting their scientific results on an international event, is rather unique since it satisfies mutual networking interests of students, university scientists as well as industry and company representatives. The papers published in this book address topics related to print and media technologies and will provide a snapshot of the international research carried out recently in this field. Contributions about printed functionalities and in detail printed electronics comprise most of the book. Furthermore, also upcoming topics such as design of printed electronics are considered and are found in a special chapter called Printing Future Days Design.
