Pioneering the Future of Printing with Years of Research and Development Expertise

Piezo Inkjet is a printing method that uses voltage to deform piezoelectric elements, ejecting minute ink droplets. While General’s inkjet business may be famous for thermal inkjet technology, our expertise is also applied in the field of piezo inkjet.

USE CASES

Use Case.01

Printing of essential variable information, such as dates and lot numbers, requires high legibility and durability. Our inks not only enable clear printing but also offer durability suitable for long-term storage and distribution, contributing to the safe and secure management of products.

Use Case.02

There are still many base materials where inkjet ink adhesion is challenging. In addition to developing our own inks, we work on ink development to solve customers' challenges, constantly pushing the possibilities of piezo inkjet ink forward.

POINT

For many years, we have been involved in developing proprietary and customized inks. We will continue to focus on research and development to address evolving needs and solve even more challenges in the future.

Point.01 Contributing to the Improvement of Print Quality for Common Items such as Barcodes and Dates

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the safety and security of everyday life are supported by printing. Through the development of inks that achieve high adhesion and clarity, we aim to improve the quality of printing that helps create a safer society. We also focus on compliance with regulations according to domestic and international market trends.

Point.02 Support for Printing on Special Base Materials and Applications

Leveraging our strength in the coating field and the rich experience gained in thermal inkjet business, we propose industrial inks suitable for a wide variety of uses, from printing to marking.

Point.03 New Challenges to Expand the Inkjet World

Inkjet technology is expanding in various fields, with inks tailored to specific base materials and applications. We are taking on the challenge of developing inks for base materials and applications where inkjet printing is typically considered difficult, and we are also looking for like-minded partners. Let’s expand the world of inkjet together!

PRODUCT
LINEUP

Here are some of the ink products we are developing. We welcome inquiries including requests for concepts not listed here. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Lineup.01

UV curable inks, which cure when exposed to ultraviolet light, achieve high adhesion and durability on non-porous base materials without requiring drying time. In addition to coating and marking applications, we have developed UV curable inks suitable for decorative uses that require precision, responding to a wide range of industrial printing and marking needs.

Lineup.02

This water-based ink, after undergoing a heating and drying process with a heater, can be used to print on non-porous base materials like films. Compared to solvent-based inks, it contains fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing environmental and human health impact, making it an expected sustainable solution.

Lineup.03

Not only does it meet the high demands for print speed and quality, but it also sets itself apart from conventional solvent-based inks by achieving both “fast drying” and “resistance to nozzle clogging.” By shortening the time needed for ink drying and maintenance, it improves work efficiency, and is suitable for marking applications that require wide print widths and stable continuous printing.

Lineup.04

We are also working on the development of silver nanoparticle-based conductive inks. By using silver particles, this ink is able to conduct electricity when printed on base materials with an ink-receptive layer. It can exhibit conductivity without high-temperature treatment and is useful for printing on a variety of base materials such as paper and films. It is also expected to be applied in RF tags and wiring applications.
