A New Year and APEX!

As 2018 opens and we approach APEX in San Diego at the end of February that means I have already visited CES and the EIPC Winter Conference. I have to admit, CES in Las Vegas was a lot of fun. To see and play with all of the new electronics in the city of lights, come on!

The CES show was overwhelming with tons of robots, TVs/displays, AI/AR/VR, Automotive (Electric & Autonomous), IoT and lots of speakers. For me the Sony Aibo and the Blue Frog Buddy were the two coolest robots at the show.

As for the EIPC Winter Conference in Lyon, France, it was another great technical conference covering a wide range of topics; Business, Technology & New Developments, Trends & Capabilities in PCB Fabrication, Reliability, Process Improvements and European needs for New Technology, and Product Safety and Training. Personally for me, some of the highlights included multiple presentations on Inkjet Solder Mask and a presentation covering 3D Printing.
 
Your Ultimate Solution for Digital Imaging and Inkjet Solder Mask!

For APEX 2018 Taiyo has a lot of technology on display. DI Solder Mask takes center stage as PSR-4000 BN series and PSR-4000 HFX series highlight our DI offerings, as well as PSR-4000 BW01DI which is the fastest exposing DI solder mask in the World. Finally, Inkjet Solder Mask...seeing is believing so stop by and witness the next revolution in solder mask.
 
High End Packaging Applications and More!
 
Taiyo Ink Japan will have some of their Packaging Solder Mask including Dry Film for Rigid and Flex to Build-Up Materials. We will have Fukata-san ( Expert, Business Development Dept.) and Kawaichi-san (Sales, IC Packaging Dept.) from Taiyo Ink to help us explain these awesome products to you, so don't waste this golden opportunity to talk to people that truly understand these products.
 
Come on by and say "hello", pick up a nice give-away, or sit down with us and enjoy a cold bottle of water and discuss what Taiyo America can do to make your solder mask process the best it can be.

IPC APEX EXPO 2017
See you in San Diego!
