Goal

Deliver innovations in printing processes and materials for dramatic improvements in speed, image quality, automation and cost per page of digital printing presses.

 

Impact

Digital printing presses enable efficient, short-run targeted and customized printing, with substantially higher value to the customer, while avoiding the warehousing and scrap resulting from long runs of un-targeted print on traditional analog presses.

 

Research

Our research is highly multidisciplinary, and builds on our team’s deep skills in the disciplines of experimental physics, organic and polymer synthesis, mechanical engineering, materials science, electrical engineering, plus mechanical and quantum chemistry modeling.  

We invent improved printing process configurations and operating conditions, synthesize new materials, and design novel experimental equipment to characterize fundamental operating characteristics of these systems.

Research within the lab includes long-range exploratory work, advanced technology work to refine successful inventions which arise from those exploratory efforts and collaborative work with HP product R&D teams to transfer the results.

We leverage our team’s extensive expertise in materials and processes of digital printing, and the insights we have gained from our track record of breakthrough innovations which we have pioneered here and which have been subsequently implemented in HP printing products.

Director: Eric Hanson
