Transform your metal decoration

From beverage cans and bottle caps to decorative panels, nameplates, automotive or aeromotive parts, electronics housings, and architectural elements – inkjet printing is increasingly adopted as a high quality, digital decoration and marking solution for metal surfaces.

The ESMA Academy is offering hands on training from 8 to 11 December 2025 at the European Centre for Dispersion Technologies in Selb, Germany, where you can discover how inkjet enables sustainable, precise, and customisable results on a variety of metal substrates. During lab based sessions, participants will explore: pre-treatment methods and surface preparation, ink characterisation and print parameters, ink delivery systems, drying, and curing mechanisms, print quality, drop and colour management.

Whether you have already integrated inkjet printing into your production line or are just exploring its potential, ESMA Academy will guide you through every step toward a highly efficient metal decoration process.

The course is suitable for metal part and component manufacturers, can and tube producers, appliance and automotive suppliers, metal packaging converters, OEMs, system integrators, ink and coating suppliers, brand owners, and all those impacted by the digital transformation in metal decoration.

Prepared and delivered by leading experts in print technology, the course provides essential knowledge to support investment, innovation, and integration decisions.
