    Hello:

    It is not often people write emails or letters of praise but consider this one of the rare ones!
    I must say, ordering your product was about the easiest imaginable. Coupled with the fact that it arrived here basically “next day” I am thoroughly happy. To tell you the truth, I was expecting to have to go pay full retail for one black cartridge thinking that your’s would take at least a week to arrive but I was wrong, the order arrived before I could even go out to get one!
    Congrats people, I WILL tell all my friends and neighbours about you!

Xennia pioneers use of composite materials in inkjet systems

Posted on May 25, 2010 by kflack

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

Xennia, the world’s leading industrial inkjet solutions provider, is demonstrating the concept of using advanced composite materials in the latest design of inkjet printing systems on its stand at IPEX.

"We are using IPEX to show the promise of composite materials for the design and manufacture of inkjet printing systems," said Dr Alan Hudd, Xennia’s Managing Director, "the use of composites as structural elements of our inkjet modules will lead to large benefits to our customers in the future.  Our composite module concept will lead to much lower build and operating costs for inkjet systems: the lighter modules enable lower cost motion components to be used and lead to a significant reduction in energy consumption. This initiative is an important part of our strategy of introducing technology to help industry transform their inkjet ideas into production reality, increasing productivity, efficiency and reliability, while lowering costs and environmental impact."

"Composite materials promise significant performance improvements for inkjet printing systems," commented Dr James Fox, Xennia’s Chief Technologist. "We are working with a subsidiary of our parent company, TenCate Advanced Composites (a world leading composite materials supplier for high end aerospace and satellite applications) to introduce Formula 1 technology with the same discipline of structural strength combined with lightness that is the motorsport mantra. Application of this technology to inkjet printing systems promises similar benefits, with structural rigidity, mechanical stability over a wide temperature range and lightness. This leads to much enhanced printing performance, with improved printing accuracy and consistency from a higher degree of droplet control, combined with reduced energy consumption."

Xennia’s stand at IPEX includes a concept display of its XenJet inkjet modules including the use of advanced composite materials as structural elements, introducing much improved stiffness and reduced weight into pivotal components of the printing system.

Hewlett-Packard adds defendant to patent suit

Posted on May 25, 2010 by kflack

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Hewlett-Packard Co., the world’s largest PC maker, said it added a new defendant to an existing federal lawsuit over inkjet printer cartridge patent infringement and sale of products incorporating stolen components.

HP said late Thursday it is now also suing Asia Pacific Microsystems Inc., an affiliated company of UMC Group, both of which are based in Taiwan.

HP said it is adding one of its subsidiaries, Hewlett-Packard Development Co., as a plaintiff in the case. It is also making the same changes to the case before the U.S. International Trade Commission.

The PC maker filed the original lawsuit in March against MicroJet Technology Co., Mipo Technology Ltd., Mipo Science & Technology Co. and its America-based operations, SinoTime Technologies Inc. and PTC Holdings Ltd. saying the companies infringe on inkjet cartridge patents.

Shares of HP added 38 cents to $46.33 in afternoon trading.

Ink Amnesty Program

Posted on May 11, 2010 by kflack

Well I thought I had seen all the marketing, and glitz for inkjet cartridges that anyone could come up with but here is one that could actually save you a dollar or 2 in the long run..

In a bid to win back  lost customers HP has created a HP Amnesty program.

Sort of comical…They will offer you 20% off your next purchase of NEW HP Cartridges, if you are willing to tell them about the woes of using competitors products.

Their TAG line is “SHARE your LETDOWN and WE’LL GIVE YOU 20% OFF ORIGINAL HP INKS”

Here is how it works..From the HP Site

“So you’ve tried bargain ink.

We want to hear
your story.

Did it ruin a pitch or smudge your child’s
birthday invitations?

Whether your letdown was monumental or just annoying, you don’t deserve disappointment!

In return for sharing your story, we’ll give you amnesty in the form of 20% off Original HP Ink.
So you can say goodbye to letdowns. “

Step 1

Register and tell us your experience of using bargain ink.

Step 2

To add to your story you can also scan or take a photo of your bargain ink letdown. It could be featured in our bargain ink letdown gallery.

Step 3

Check your email for your 20% off coupon to use on Original HP Ink online at the HP Home and Home Office Store. Your coupon will be sent straight to your email so you can start saving.

Of course if you are still looking at purchasing truly affordable HP compatible remanufactured cartridges, go no further than stopping by at Metawatch for your supplies.
