Kyocera Secures Patent for Innovative Ink Ejection Correction Technology.
Osaka, Japan – September 5, 2024 – Kyocera Corporation (TSE: 6971) has announced that it has been awarded a significant grant to advance its research and development efforts in correcting ink ejection malfunctions in image forming apparatuses. This grant will support Kyocera’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the reliability and performance of its advanced printing technologies.

The grant, provided by the Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), will enable Kyocera to accelerate the development of a groundbreaking technology aimed at resolving issues related to ink ejection in its printing systems. The technology is expected to significantly improve print quality and reduce maintenance requirements for users of Kyocera’s image forming apparatuses.

Ink ejection malfunctions can lead to print defects, increased maintenance costs, and reduced overall efficiency of printing systems. With this new technology, Kyocera aims to address these challenges by developing advanced correction mechanisms that will enhance the precision and reliability of ink delivery.

“We are honored to receive this grant, which underscores the importance of our ongoing efforts to drive innovation in the printing industry,” said Hiroshi Kamata, President of Kyocera Corporation. “This support from METI is a testament to our commitment to advancing technology that enhances the performance and reliability of our image forming apparatuses. We believe that our new ink ejection correction technology will set a new standard in the industry and provide significant benefits to our customers.”

Kyocera’s R&D team will use the grant to refine and test the new technology, which is expected to incorporate sophisticated algorithms and sensors to monitor and adjust ink ejection in real-time. This approach aims to minimize errors and ensure consistent print quality, even in high-volume printing environments.

The company anticipates that the new technology will be integrated into its upcoming range of printers and multifunction devices, offering enhanced performance and reduced downtime for users. Kyocera is dedicated to delivering solutions that not only meet but exceed the evolving needs of the printing market.

“The grant provides crucial support for our research and development activities, allowing us to bring innovative solutions to market faster,” said Takashi Yamamoto, Head of Kyocera’s Print Technology Division. “We are excited about the potential of this technology to revolutionize the way ink ejection malfunctions are addressed and look forward to sharing more details as we progress with the development.”

Kyocera’s commitment to innovation and quality has established the company as a leader in the imaging technology sector. The support from METI will play a key role in advancing the company’s mission to deliver cutting-edge solutions that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of its products.
