Could you address the underlying print head technology? Historically, they used Memjet, which provides not only the print head but also many accompanying components like the ink delivery system and electronics. I believe that MTEX developed or implemented an alternative solution in their products. Could you elaborate on that?

Yes, the Memjet technology served its purpose at the time, but eventually, it created more issues than solutions. They were always looking to innovate and solve problems. They delivered a thermal print head with wider nozzles, which increased resistance and durability.

The quality, in terms of DPI, was slightly lower, but the difference was barely noticeable in packaging, especially with boxes. The consumables were more attractively priced and more durable. Our clients often work in rough environments with dust and debris, and these print heads were better suited for such conditions compared to Memjet technology, which was delicate.

They also developed the interface and software for the printers, allowing detailed control of the printing process. For example, they could control each color channel independently to adjust ink levels or maintain the print head, which extended its durability compared to similar products.
