    Memjet Technology and Components Provide Unmatched Speed, Color and Savings
    DUSSELDORF, Germany, May  2012  — Memjet, the global leader in color printing technologies that provide remarkable speeds and affordability, today announced a partnership with Toshiba TEC Corporation for the development of multi-function office products featuring Memjet components.

    Under the partnership, Toshiba TEC Corporation will initially work to integrate Memjet components into a Multi-Function Peripheral (MFP) product targeted for the office market. The MFP will feature a scanner, photocopier and color printer that produces high-quality color pages at 60 pages per minute, thanks to Memjet’s revolutionary page-wide printhead, controller chip, software and ink. A future MFP product co-developed by both companies is being exhibited at drupa, the world’s largest print industry event in Dusseldorf, Germany, in the Memjet booth, Hall 5, E28.

    "Toshiba TEC Corporation is a recognized leader for providing a host of multi-function solutions that offer quality, efficiency and cost-effectiveness," said Len Lauer, president and CEO of Memjet. "Toshiba TEC office solutions with Memjet color printing components in their core will accelerate productivity and savings for businesses seeking an edge."

    "We are very pleased to make this announcement with Memjet," said Hidetaka Nonami, General manager of Toshiba TEC Corporation. "Customers are continuously looking for the latest innovations that strengthen operations as well as the financial bottom line. We believe Memjet has developed an approach to office printing that can do both."

    The partnership also allows Toshiba TEC Corporation to evaluate other Memjet integration scenarios, including industrial and commercial applications. Toshiba TEC is evaluating Memjet technology for manufacturing, logistics and retail environments that require high-speed printing.  Toshiba TEC provides point-of-sale solutions, industrial and portable labels printers, self-service solutions, and digital signage solutions.

    "We are pleased to be working with Toshiba TEC to evaluate and assist integrate our Memjet technology and components into a color label printer that can bring high speed (12 ips), brilliant print quality (1600 dpi) and competitive costs to the industrial label printing market that can now take advantage of color on demand," said David Clark, president of Memjet Labels.
