Business Description
The company designs, manufactures and markets impulse inkjet subsystems, including printheads and inks and other consumables, and related components for the industrial market. The company's proprietary products are used for a variety of printing applications which require high speed, good print quality, durable equipment and the ability to change the printed text or pattern frequently. The company's Ultrajet printing subsystems are marketed worldwide, primarily through over 70 original equipment manufacturer customers which integrate them into computer controlled, application specific products that are sold to end users. The company's contracts with its OEM customers also provide for ongoing sales by the company of consumables, consisting principally of inks and printing subsystem components. The largest application for the company's products is carton coding, which involves printing directly onto shipping cartons. Carton coding systems which incorporate the company's products allow end users to print any combination of high quality text, bar codes, and graphics directly onto blank cartons as they move down an assembly or production line.
