Press release
from the issuing company
Xennia Technology Ltd, the world's leading industrial
inkjet solutions provider, announced today its supply agreement with
industrial inkjet printhead manufacturer Trident. Trident will supply
printheads exclusively to Xennia for industrial textile decoration and
finishing, as well as coating of industrial products.
"Trident's printhead technology is important for Xennia as it is
extremely robust and enables printing of large drops that spread easily
to form uniform layers, ideal for coatings in key industrial
applications such as textiles, glass, floor and wall coverings,
furniture laminates and decor papers," said Dr Alan Hudd, Managing
Director of Xennia. "The Trident printhead is compatible with our
comprehensive suite of XenJet modules, comprising print engines, fluid
controllers, maintenance units and application & printing software,
backed up by integration support packages that reduce development risk
and cut time to market."
Xennia's stand at IPEX showcases these modules as a standalone
display, as well as demonstrating their capabilities configured into two
industrial printing systems designed for high reliability, efficiency
and productivity in demanding production environments. The Xennia
Viridian system includes a XenJet Auriga print engine running Trident
printheads printing Xennia's XenInx Lazurite UV cure clear hardcoat,
demonstrated as an overcoat to previously printed packaging and
furniture laminate images.
"XenJet Auriga is the only inkjet print engine capable of running a
variety of inkjet printheads, including the Trident head which is the
ideal printhead for industrial coatings and other demanding
applications, as a complement to other printheads designed for very high
quality image printing," commented Dr Hudd. "Combined with the built-in
printhead alignment, easy servicing and multiple configurations, XenJet
Auriga provides OEMs and machine builders with an unprecedented degree
of flexibility and control when designing systems. Auriga helps industry
transform their inkjet ideas into production reality, improving
responsiveness to customer demands, as well as increasing efficiency and
productivity. Our agreement with Trident reinforces our position as the
leading supplier of inkjet technology into industrial markets, and
builds on many years of collaboration between our two companies. We look
forward to the success flowing from the synergy of Trident's robust
industrial printheads and Xennia's inkjet module and ink technology."
"Xennia has a well-earned reputation for developing technology
specifically suited for the challenges of industrial applications,"
Trident's Business Development Manager, Steve Liker commented. "The
combination of Trident's robust printhead technology and Xennia's
high-performance inkjet modules and inks provides OEMs and end users
with efficient and high quality performance even in harsh industrial
environments."
