Baldwin acquires Digital Ink System
May 2, 2018BALDWIN Technology Company Inc. has reached an agreement with QuadGraphics Inc. to acquire the intellectual property rights for the Digital Ink System, enabling continued development of the technology. BALDWIN is a world leader in providing process automation solutions, consumables and services for the print, packaging, textile and corrugated industries.
The Digital Ink System is a computer-controlled ink injection technology that replaces traditional open fountain ink trains—or can upgrade existing pump and rail systems—providing more precise density control at all press speeds with significant cost savings. The system eliminates ink contamination and delivers consistently high-quality results, metering the correct volume of ink delivered to each control zone across the printed image.
In late 2017, BALDWIN acquired QuadGraphics’ research and development division, QuadTech, combining it with PC Industries and Web Printing Controls to form a new “BALDWIN Vision Systems” business segment.
