Xaar, a worldwide leader in piezoelectric inkjet printhead technology, and Triangle Digital, a global leading supplier of professional inkjet products, have signed an agreement to enable Triangle to sell solvent ink certified for the XJ128 printhead in India. Following the opening of Xaar’s first Indian office in New Delhi in November 2004, Xaar’s Indian customer base is continuing to grow, and this agreement is a key step in supporting Xaar inkjet printhead users moving forward.

“We cannot place enough emphasis on the importance of using approved, compatible inks – only these will allow inkjet machines to achieve optimum performance in print applications,” said Jill Woods, Xaar’s inks and media product manager. “We have rigorously tested Triangle’s solvent inks to ensure they are fully compatible with the XJ128 printhead, providing our customers with the assurance that they are using a high quality, reliable ink, therefore minimising the possibility of printhead component failures.”

“India is already an important market for us as we continue to grow globally,” says Brad Kisner, President, Triangle Digital. “Xaar is known for their high quality printhead technologies and Triangle Digital is known for their professional inkjet inks and technical support programs. Together, this new partnership allows us to penetrate the market further and expand upon our growing customer base.”

“We recognise Triangle Digital’s expertise and leadership in digital inkjet inks and are delighted to name them as our first ink partner in India,” comments Ian Dinwoodie, CEO, Xaar. “India presents us with a huge opportunity for inkjet technology, and as we establish our customer base here, it is fundamental that we fully support our customers from the start. ”

Triangle representatives will be at PrintPack India, 18th – 23rd January 2005 at Xaar’s stand Hall 7B, and also Kapoor Imaging’s stand (Triangle’s India distributor) Hall 12 booth 12/7.
