Sep. 16, 2005 — Dimatix, a Santa Clara, Calif., provider of commercial and industrial ink jet products, introduced its cartridge-based Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) system, a complete, low-cost solution for high-precision jetting of functional fluids including nanoparticle-based metallic and organic materials on any type of surface, including plastic, metal sheets, silicon and paper.

The company says the “fill your own cartridge” concept together with a complete print system offers an extremely low cost of ownership. The turnkey system is intended to be a tool for corporations and research institutes to quickly develop and test processes and prototypes, as well as conduct low-volume manufacturing of a broad range of products from flexible circuits, RFID tags and displays to DNA arrays, optical lenses and wearable electronics.
