Jim Taylor, MD of ixPressia says, “The key advantage of using our Print Engine software with Meteor is to provide a no-risk route with reduced time-to-market. Customers can now use TTP Meteor and ixPressia’s Print Engine to drive new industrial printers and print systems with confidence. This is an important step for us.

Clive Ayling, Meteor Business Manager at TTP says, “We view this as a significant milestone in enabling industrial printer manufacturers to accelerate their product development. Production-ready hardware and software like this makes a massive difference to how quickly new systems can be created and their success in the market.

The Meteor Print Controller contains a modular data path to drive most industrial inkjet printhead types in any size of array or printer configuration. The ixPressia Print Engine provides control of all printer functions, image manipulation and job set-up.

The first printer using a combination of ixPressia Print Engine and TTP Meteor Print Controller was recently shipped. It is a fast colour printer for innovative packaging applications.

This complete production-ready hardware and software solution cuts the time to develop new printer systems dramatically, as the time traditionally taken to integrate these two aspects of the system has been eliminated.
