The Technical Association of the Graphic Arts (TAGA) is excited to announce the call for TAGA Research Frontiers or TAGA Technology in Action papers for presentation at the 2025 conference, TAGA NextGen.
Research Frontiers Papers are based on new emerging science, technology, and the application of graphic technology workflow and printing processes. Research papers are included in the annual technical proceedings.
Technology in Action Papers cover topics with a broad technology perspective. Action Papers focus on issues that are current to the industry and critical to its development. They can include ideas and solutions relevant to the wider range of the graphic arts industry, best practices, or technical reviews.
The TAGA conference will take place in the heart of Boulder, CO with multiple sessions March 25 to 27 and then concluding with a tour on the morning of March 28. The sessions contain a mix of the latest research papers as well as those cover topics with a broad technology perspective from best practices to the latest innovations providing information and solutions for today, as well as helping companies plan ahead.
A key component of the event is the student participation. The different chapters will be showcasing their competition entries and will be presenting them on the main stage. Meet some of the brightest minds who will be forming some of our future leaders in the industry. There will also be opportunities to look for your next generation of employees!
To give an introduction to Boulder, it is said well by Visit Boulder: "Boulder is a perfect balance of urban and outdoors. Known for its stellar food scene, arts, an always-exciting downtown and more outdoor activities than you can count, the city is just 30 minutes northwest of Denver, where the Rocky Mountains meet the plains."
Papers cover a full range of topics impacting the industry. An emphasis for 2025 will be on papers related to sustainability, packaging, printed electronics, automation, and best practices. Papers can also cover such topics as ink, substrates, color, visualization, displays, materials, curing, process control, data management, workflow, security, lean manufacturing, 3D printing, novel applications, fundamental science, and software and computer developments related to all types of printing processes
