Decoration Summit: Laser Engraving, Sandcarving & DTF
Advertisement
Join IKONICS Imaging, GS2 Awards, and JDS Industries in Boulder, Colorado for the Decoration Summit, two days of exploring three powerful decoration technologies: laser engraving, sandcarving, and DTF.
Want to expand what your shop can create and give customers more reasons to choose premium, higher-value products? This interactive summit is designed to help decorators learn each technology individually, then discover how they can work together to create distinctive products with precision, dimensional depth, and vibrant full-color decoration.
Whether you want to get more from equipment you already own, add a new decoration process, or introduce new products to your customers, you’ll leave with practical techniques, new ideas, and projects you can take back to your shop and put to work.
