American Ink Jet Applies Ink Jet Manufacturing Expertise to Pigmented Inks.

BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 1999--

In response to an increasing demand by OEMs and specialty ink buyers, American Ink Jet has applied its C3 quality approach of combining color science, physics and chemistry principles to develop and manufacture a black pigment ink.

AIJ, by using its custom sub-micron purification and filtration process, has taken into consideration the problems associated with ink jet pigment inks by manufacturing ink filtered down to less than .5 microns producing a narrow particle distribution. The result is a pigment ink with a very stable dispersion that produces crisp black text and virtually eliminates clogging problems. As a result of the advanced pigment technology, water-resistant capabilities match or exceed alternate black pigment inks on the market and the product ships with a two-year shelf life.

All American Ink Jet inks are available in the following cost-effective amounts enabling the purchase of ink quantities to meet specific needs: liter, 1, 5, 30 and 55 gallon containers.

American Ink Jet, an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing company, is committed to developing and manufacturing the highest quality, technically advanced, ink jet inks to the global ink jet-printing marketplace. The company maintains multidisciplinary research and development staffs who apply Calibrated Color Chemistry (C3) technology in producing products for the ever-evolving ink jet market place.
