Industrial Inkjet appoints print engine partner in Asia

Industrial Inkjet (IIJ), distributor and technical support center for Konica Minolta IJ Technologies, has appointed of Komi IJ in Hong Kong as its partner in Asia for ColourPrint, the company’s single-pass print engine suited to a wide range of graphics applications. IIJ believes that the partnership ‘will boost sales of the print-engines in the expanding Chinese market, and will be particularly significant for the ID-card printing and coding-and-marking applications which are central to the region’s growth’. 

‘Komi IJ has been the official partner for Konica Minolta printheads in Asia since 2007,’ commented John Corrall, managing director of IIJ. ‘This agreement is a natural progression for all involved and provides customers in Asia with more options when looking to adopt digital inkjet technology in future developments.’ 

The agreement will lead to the opening of a dedicated training and demonstration center in Hong Kong in November 2009, which will be equipped with ColourPrint and Konica Minolta monochrome print engines. Together with the appointment of a technical engineer, this will enable Komi IJ to offer locally based support and training.  

ColourPrint enables printer manufacturers to make a smooth transition to developing digital inkjet printers. The unit can be integrated into a customer’s own production line or existing printer, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications from web and sheetfed printing through to product decoration on 3D parts.
