Trident Joins imaging to Bring New Print-Head Technology

Trident Industrial InkJet signed an agreement for business partnership with imaging Technology international of Boulder, Colorado. Trident is aiming to take its industrial ink jet print head technology to the next step and to integrate it into digital manufacturing and printing solutions. Trident will team with iTi to produce development and production equipment to satisfy the need for evaluation tools, production manufacturing, and short run printing.

Trident?s robust, industrial ink jet print head technology is ideally suited for emerging ink jet applications in sectors including Flat Panel Displays, coatings, precision deposition of conductive and resistive fluids, and full color process printing. The ability to jet printing inks or specialized fluids reliably at micron accuracy onto a moving substrate will characterize systems jointly developed by iTi and Trident ? a combination of iTi?s integration expertise and Trident?s robust stainless steel print head technology.

The companies will jointly develop an Inkjet Drive Engine to provide an intuitive, self-contained control unit for driving Trident print heads. The IDE will include software to control the print head firing patterns, an ink supply system incorporating ink degassing, a graphical user interface and an applications programming interface to enable integration of Trident print head technology with a variety of development and production printing systems.
