Midland recently presented a case study for a 10th consecutive year at the Inkjet Summit 2023 located in Austin, TX April 24-27. The messaging of the Case Study was well received by the audience as exemplified by Midland being nominated along with 3 other presenters for “Best Case Study for General Commercial Print”. Midland has won this category on 3 other occasions in past years. Other companies presenting Case Studies included Canon, Fuji, Screen, Landa, Kodak and HP. “Ten years ago, Midland made an important commitment to understand the role of paper in the inkjet printing process, “said David Field, General Manager of Midland’s Specialty Paper & Film division. “Receiving this recognition again in 2023 recognizes how much progress Midland has made in that regard and more important, further exemplifies how important paper is with this fast-growing and complex technology”. David Field presented the Case Study for Midland Paper. “David has a broad understanding of the papers available in the market and their compatibility with the OEM press technology. He is in high demand from printers across the country that have purchased or are looking at purchasing High Speed Inkjet equipment,” said Mike Ratcliff, Midland’s President, Specialty Paper & Film Division.
