EPSON re-equips and re-opens Inkjet Innovation Lab

Inkjet Innovation Lab of EPSON at its Fujimi Plant in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, which first opened in October 2019, was created to promote the exploration of new inkjet printing applications in manufacturing in collaboration with a variety of partners. The re-equipped Fujimi Inkjet Innovation Lab is part of EPSON’s strategy to expand applications for printhead-based solutions in new markets and to accelerate innovation in its customers’ printing and production processes.

The Inkjet Innovation Lab has been newly outfitted with direct-to-surface colour inkjet printers along with facilities for performing tests using EPSON’s inkjet printheads. Furnished with other new facilities such as a meeting area and a studio that can broadcast a view of tests performed, the lab is spacious, open and conducive to the growth of ideas. Used mainly for conventional printing applications until now, EPSON’s inkjet printheads also show promise in new fields such as electronics and bio-printing. The lab is equipped with inkjet machines for R&D mounted with the printheads.
