Industrial Inkjet
In the year under review, we focused on marketing high-
definition printer heads and printers to leading printer
manufacturers. These offerings employ proprietary inkjet and
ink technologies.
Domestic sales of ink were favorable because demand rose
steadily for high-definition printer heads. We won orders from
several major Chinese printer manufacturers for large outdoor
advertisement printers. We also developed new customers in
Europe, which helped us to boost sales of high-definition printer
heads and textile printers.
Net sales for the Industrial Inkjet business increased 15.4%,
to ¥6.9 billion, although operating income fell 31.8%, to ¥0.9
billion.
We cultivated new customers in China and Europe during the year to expand our industrial
inkjet business.
