Fujifilm Dimatix Ink-jet Technology Demo Draws Crowds at Drupa

DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY—June 6, 2008—Here at Drupa 2008, Fujifilm Dimatix, the world’s leading supplier of drop-on-demand inkjet printheads for industrial applications, has been drawing crowds to their stand B03 in Hall 8b with a novel demonstration of printing technology.

The attraction? A piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet concept press - dubbed the XP-200 - built specifically for operation here at Drupa by the Fujifilm Dimatix Technology Integration (DTI) group. The purpose-built XP-200 prints images and text in a single pass onto items with unusual and often irregular surfaces - from sponge, sandpaper, leather and wood, to circuit boards - as the objects pass under the printhead array at a rate of 200 feet per minute.
