The investment in the new facility is projected to approximately quadruple Tohoku EPSON’s current printhead production capacity. The company’s printing solutions business provides products and services based on original Micro Piezo inkjet technology to customers in the office, home, commercial and industrial markets. Demand for commercial and industrial inkjet printers is increasing along with a technology shift from analogue to digital in sectors where the printing media is not paper, such as digital textile printing. Moreover, many commercial and industrial inkjet printers use PrecisionCore MicroTFP printheads (PrecisionCore printheads). These printheads can be flexibly adapted for different applications by assembling MicroTFP print chips in various combinations.
