[{"type":"text","content":"PITTSBURGH, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) (“Matthews” or the “Company”) announces today that its business, Matthews Marking Systems, is unveiling its proprietary Axian Inkjet (XIJ) printing technology, a breakthrough innovation redefining high-speed, high-resolution product marking for consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industries. Introducing XIJ: The Next Generation of Inkjet PrintingUtilizing XIJ, the new MPERIA® Axian XIJ AX1000 Series printer (scheduled to launch next week at the 2025 Pack Expo in Las Vegas) merges the best attributes of Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) into a single, high-performance platform. Developed by Matthews Marking Systems engineers, XIJ leverages proprietary micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology to deliver a column of ink droplets simultaneously—unlike traditional CIJ systems that eject droplets sequentially. This enables crisp, consistent, high-resolution marks at unprecedented speeds. Key Advantages of XIJ Technology: Simultaneously prints 2D codes and multi-line text without reducing line speedLowered total cost of ownership (TCO) by eliminating make up fluids and reducing maintenance costsFull print resolution at faster speeds compared to CIJUser adjustable ink controls for clear, high-quality marks XIJ vs. Traditional Inkjet: FeatureTraditional Inkjet (CIJ/TIJ)MEMS-Based (Axian XIJ)Valve ControlMechanical/ElectromagneticMicro-valve MEMSResolution at 8mmThrow DistanceUp to 70 DPI100 DPIMaintenanceComplex, frequentSimple, infrequentMake Up FluidsAs neededNot neededEnvironmental ImpactSolvent fumes (CIJ only)Closed system, eco-friendlySpeed & FlexibilityLimited for 2D codes (CIJ only)Full speed, 2D/linear codes Closed Ink System for Eco-Friendly OperationThe MPERIA® Axian XIJ features a closed ink system that eliminates the need for solvent additives, reducing emissions and supporting sustainable operations. The system draws less than 25 watts of power and is housed in a stainless-steel enclosure for nearly maintenance-free use.
