Business Partners FAQs

Our OEM brands have asked us to keep their identities confidential.  Memjet Home and Office is working with multiple brand partners, with varied development and announcement timelines.  You can keep abreast of Memjet Home and Office partner announcements by subscribing to RSS feeds from this site.

No.  Neither our OEM brand business partners nor any existing printer brands have any financial interest in Memjet Home and Office or our technology development partner, Silverbrook Research, Ltd, Pty.  This allows Memjet Home and Office to operate independently and fairly across our range of incumbent and non-incumbent brand partners.

Silverbrook Research is a private, independent research and development company based near Sydney, Australia. Silverbrook Research is the developer of the Memjet technology components. Memjet Home and Office is a separate, private, independent business responsible for the commercialization of the technology for the home and office markets.  Commercialization includes the development of OEM brand relationships, market strategy, business models, component pricing, OEM brand technical and business support, supply chain and operations related to the Memjet Home and Office business opportunities.  Memjet Home and Office works with Silverbrook Research to specify and prioritize technology requirements to satisfy the needs of home and office customers. 

There are currently four Memjet companies - Memjet Home and Office, Memjet Labels, Memjet Photo Retail and Memjet Wide Format.  Separate companies enable each company to focus on the unique technology applications, customer needs and business requirements associated with each market space.  While much of the core technology components are leveraged, business models and partnerships differ.  Ink formulations and properties may vary and printhead configurations, controller chip software and host software are optimized to better meet customers' needs in each of these important markets.

Memjet Home and Office does not intend to introduce its own printers or be the primary brand on any home and office printing product.  Our Memjet Home and Office business model is to deliver technology to existing brands for use in their own branded printing devices.

Yes.  Multi-function/All-in-One devices are an important part of the Memjet Home and Office opportunity.  

Yes.  Memjet inks are customized to ensure sustained performance and quality using a Memjet printhead.  Using the wrong ink can dramatically decrease the capability of a Memjet printhead and can ultimately destroy it.  While the chemistry and fluid dynamics of Memjet ink formulations are unique and specific, the Memjet water-based inks have many ingredients in common with inks used in home and office printing environments today.

While it may be possible to provide non-water-based, specialized inks such as UV-curable inks or solvent-based inks with Memjet printing systems, it is not common to use these inks in home and office printing environments, and not a current priority for Memjet Home and Office.   It is more likely that the other Memjet companies, focused outside of the home and office printing markets, will lead these development efforts.
