Industrial Print Integration (IPI) 2026 Opens Call for Papers: Engineering Precision in Industrial Fluid Deposition
Wednesday 11. February 2026 - The European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA) is pleased to announce the official Call for Papers for the 5th edition of the Industrial Print Integration (IPI) Conference, taking place on 2425 November 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in DüsseldorfNeuss, Germany.
As Europe’s leading event for industrial and functional printing, IPI 2026 will bring together suppliers, OEMs, integrators, and R&D leaders to explore the latest advancements in digital inkjet, spray coating, aerosol, EHD jet, capillary printing, and other emerging deposition technologies.
Focus Areas & Applications
IPI 2026 invites submissions on a wide range of topics, including:
• Precision & Ultra-High Resolution Printing
• AI-Powered Automation & Robotics Integration
• Sustainable Ink & Process Innovations
• Energy-Efficient Curing (NIR, UV, Plasma)
• Mass Customisation & Personalisation
• Circular Economy & Waste Reduction
Applications of interest span printed electronics, packaging, home and automotive interiors, bio-medical and pharmaceutical, textiles and technical textiles, additive manufacturing, and more. The conference will also address pressing industry challenges such as near-shoring, on-demand production and regulatory compliance.
Why Submit? IPI 2026 offers a unique platform to showcase how your technology enables performance, reliability, and sustainability in industrial printing. Presentations should be informative, educational, and non-commercial, with a focus on sharing insights and fostering collaboration.
“Industrial and functional fluid deposition is evolving rapidly, driven by the need for sustainability, flexibility, and innovation. At IPI 2026, we aim to highlight the technologies and strategies that are shaping the future – from micro-factories with minimal carbon footprints to smart packaging and regulatory-ready solutions. This is where the industry comes together to move projects forward and build lasting partnerships,” said Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA.
