How Memjet Works
Memjet was announced by Australian-based Silverbrook Research, which says that the technology has been in development for the last decade. Where traditional printers use printheads that move back and forth across a page, Memjet's printheads (an array of inkjet nozzles) are as wide as the paper being printed on. This "page-width printhead" concept is where the speed benefits kick in.
While Silverbrook Research owns the patent portfolio associated with the technology and the Memjet trademark, three Memjet companies (all U.S.-based) have been established to commercialize the technology: Memjet Home and Office, Memjet Labels, and Memjet Photo Retail. Further information on all three privately held companies can be found at memjet.com.
