that is dominating the signage industry.LED signs are digital

displays that use LED (light emitting diode) technology to present

content both indoors and outdoors.They have the advantage of

giving businesses a professional image, as they increase profits,

sales, and customer satisfaction.LED digital signs requirevirtually no maintenance, have extremely low energyconsumption, and feature attention-getting colors. In our fast-

paced world, it is important to stay up-to-date with information.

These signs allow advertisers to update content quickly and

easily, through software at a secondary location.

Conductive Ideas

Conductive Ideas is a team of Ryerson University students

exploring the possibilities of conductive inks in the packaging

and print industry. They will be presenting a webinar on

November 19th at 4 pm discussing how it works, how it isperforming in the industry and possibilities of future uses.

Conductive ink is a new ink slowly being introduced into the

commercial sector of the print industry. A few ink companies

have begun exploring the potential of these inks, formulating

their own brands and even commercializing it for consumers in

the form of pens. This ink has conductive capabilities due to its

copper and silver components. When connected to a battery, the

ink creates a circuit able to power a load, such as a light. It can

be used in almost anything, from a greeting card to even being a

main component of solar panels. It has become a new creative

avenue for designers and printers to explore as well as having

valuable uses beyond the print world. As this technology is not

particularly well known we aim to educate students and industry

members about this technology and how it fits into the print and

packaging world.

The Luxe Look

The topic we have chosen for the major project is luxury

packaging and how a packages appearance affects theperceived quality of the product.

In particular, the focus of the project will be on the

pharmaceutical industry, more specifically cosmetics. Luxury

packaging plays an important role within this category because

of the wide variety of similar products offered by an even wider

variety of competitors. With that being said, having

differentiation within the market is fundamental, which can be

achieved by the finishing techniques that are implemented withluxury packaging.

An eye-catching appearance will attract the attention of many

customers at the point of purchase, which will raise brand-

awareness and will create an association with the high-quality

merchandise. This affects the amount consumers are willing to

pay in order to attain the product, as well as the price point atwhich the company chooses to sell the product for.

The Luxe Look is a group comprised of 9 students at Ryerson

University. Six of us are in there third year, each pursuing aBachelor of Technology in Graphic Communications

Management. The rest of the group are exchange students. Two

from Germany from Media University of Stuttgart and one from

Denmark Danish School of Media and Journalism.

Out with the Old, In with the U Ubiquitous Networks

Out with the Old, In with the U is an exploratory webinar about u-

commerce that will be presented by a team of third-year Graphic

Communications Management students from Ryerson University

on Tuesday, November 18, 2013 at 5:30pm.

U-Commerce (ubiquitous commerce) is an emerging category of

technology that allows commerce to be performed anywhere, at

any time, by anyone. The goal of u-commerce is to make it easier

and more accessible for users to shop, earn rewards, and

receive notifications from their favourite retail stores,

restaurants and applications. U-Commerce incorporates real-time connections with sellers and buyers, and tracks the

preferences of the buyers. While the result of u-commerce is

meant to enhance the consumer experience, there are privacy

issues as this new market is not strongly regulated at this time.

Team U will be presenting the details of how u-commerce works,

who it affects, what the benefits are, and when it will be used by

exploring consumer behaviours, customer security and privacy,

and the four pillars of u-commerce - ubiquitous, uniqueness,

universality, and unison. The next evolution of retail experiences

will be highly affected by this technology, so make sure U join usby tuning in!

NanoPrint

On Tuesday November 26that 3:30pm, NanoPrint will bepresenting a revolutionary topic to the printing world. That topic

is the next generation technology that is none other than

Nanography.

Who is NanoPrint and what is Nanography? NanoPrint is a team

of nine Ryerson University students, majoring in Graphic

Communications Management who share a passion for

Nanography. Our goal is to educate and inform individuals on this

up and coming technology. Nanography is an incredibly versatile

form of digital printing, capable of printing on essentially any

substrate. How can this be possible? As the name implies, the

nanographic process implements the idea of printing with

incredibly small particles. The nano sized ink droplets and the

thinner ink film allow for enhanced adhesion on various

substrates without seeping into the substrate fibres. To put this

into perspective one nano ink particle could be compared to that

of a soccer ball in relation to the size of the earth. The images

produced, as a result are extremely crisp and vivid. The

NanoPrint team hopes you find the idea of Nanography as

exciting as we do, and we encourage you to participate in our

webinar to learn more.

Printicular

Printicular would like to invite and welcome everyone to view our

upcoming webinar about lenticular printing, labeled "Print in

Motion"!

Lenticular printing has been around for half a century, but it

wasnt until recently that its popularity started to grow. The

emergence of new technologies allows lenticular printing to now

exhibit more features by expanding its range of motion and

depth. Our webinar will briefly discuss the steps required in the

prepress, printing, and finishing processes and how this medium

can be applied within the graphic arts industry. Although once

categorized as something novelty, the presentation will show

how the illusionary effects of lenticular printing can be

implemented among printed products as a successful marketing

tool.

If this peaks your interest, please attend our "Print in Motion"

webinar on November 26, beginning at 4:00pm. Come learn more

about lenticular printing and how you can make use of this

technology into virtually any printed product! We will show you a

different perspective of printing, literally!

Project AVC: Security Printing

Do you ever wonder if the money and cheques you receive from

others are genuine? How can the average person tell just by

looking at it? No one would ever want to be scammed out of

counterfeit products or money. Technology available in themarket today is getting better, and with better technology, it

becomes easier for scam artists to counterfeit high-value

documents and money, while it gets harder for us to tell the

difference. Not only is this important for individuals in our

everyday lives, but also for the health and survival of every

company.

We are excited to announce the initiation of Project AVC

(Authenticate, Validate, and Certify), a project started by a group

of students in the GCM program attending Ryerson

University. The idea behind Project AVC is to explore and share

the techniques involved in security printing, specifically, the

prevention of counterfeit and forgery of money.

Project AVC will present a dynamic and interactive webinar to

industry professionals, students, professors, and other parties

interested in our findings and research. During our webinar

session, we will provide an overview of what security printing is,

its importance, the different techniques used to prevent forgery,new technology in the market to help prevent counterfeiting, and

how you can save your company from encountering these

issues.
