Impika welcomes Panasonic to its booth at Drupa 2008 International Print Industry Exhibition
Friday 23. May 2008 - As the fruit of a close collaboration for more than two years, Impika welcomes its printhead technology provider, Panasonic (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.), on booth B24-1 in Hall 10 for the official launch of the new generation of Impikas digital color printing solutions, iPress and iPrint covering multiple applications.
These innovative printing solutions are the result of a technological collaboration between two world leaders : Panasonic, a premier developer of industrial technology, and Impika, an expert in developing and manufacturing industrial inkjet solutions.
This two companies collaboration consisted in the development of modular printing solutions which integrated Panasonics most advanced Drop-On-Demand thin-film piezoelectric printhead technology. .
The latest generation of Panasonic printheads jet thousands of drops of water-based inks (both pigments and dyes) through 22,400 nozzles (in the current configuration) with a resolution of 600dpi. The printing speed, depending on the chosen configuration, varies from 75m/minute to 150m/minute, for a print width of 474mm. In addition, the printhead is able to produce several drop volumes (3, 9, 11, 13 picoliters), which can be combined in order to produce a very high quality printing mode for several applications.
Paul Morgavi, CEO of Impika, declares “We have the pleasure to welcome Panasonic on our booth and are very proud to showcase Panasonics technological strength. This is the first step of a strong collaboration continuing with further development of innovating printing solutions to further advance the performances of the ink jet technology”.
Panasonic Industrial Company Senior Account Manager Frank Orrow comments “We are very pleased to have this special opportunity to demonstrate Panasonics print and line head technology at Drupa 2008 thanks to the hospitality of Impika. We are also delighted to have the opportunity to work with Impika on their powerful technology solutions.”
Impika invites you to visit Booth B24-1 in Hall 10, to show Panasonics technology and learn more about the Impika difference with real-time demonstrations running every day.
