DEK Signs Print-head Technology Agreement
November 4, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
WEYMOUTH, DORSET, U.K. — DEK has signed an agreement to license its ProFlow enclosed print head technology to EKRA, permitting ProFlow integration into new machines. The agreement, which also covers printers sold under the ASYS name, will last for five years initially, and is subject to review at the end of that time.
"We realize that by permitting certain competitors to use our technology, this will prevent costly intellectual property disputes while simultaneously benefiting the industry in general," explains John Knowles, DEK's chairman. "ProFlow in particular represents a significant advance in high accuracy mass imaging, rising to the challenges set by modern manufacturing through repeatable aperture filling, low paste wastage and high-throughput capabilities."
"I anticipate that ProFlow will be an extremely valuable addition to our machine range," comments Werner Kreibl, CEO of EKRA. "As manufacturers increasingly make the switch from squeegees to enclosed print head technology, ProFlow is ideally positioned to optimize the high-accuracy mass imaging market for the unique challenges faced by today's industry."
