Epson Partners with SUSS to Integrate PrecisionCore Printhead Technology to Print Functional Materials
13 March 2025: Seiko Epson Corporation, a leader in advanced printhead solutions, announces its collaboration with SUSS MicroTec SE (SUSS), a leading manufacturer of system and process solutions for the semiconductor and printed electronics industries. As part of this partnership, SUSS will adopt the Epson PrecisionCore printhead technology (I3200 Series) in its flagship desktop R&D printer, the LP50. This development aims to enhance research and development capabilities in inkjet processes, applications, and materials.
LP50
A notable installation will take place at the Epson Europe B.V. Marly Branch, located in Marly, Switzerland. The Marly Branch is designed as a collaborative facility, inviting visitors from the industry to engage in joint testing with Epson specialists.
The decision to utilise Epson technology stems from its exceptional print quality, attributed to the PrecisionCore technology that allows for a maximum of eight inks to be tested simultaneously within the same printhead. Furthermore, the printhead demonstrates high chemical compatibility, enabling researchers to maximise the development of fluid and print processes effectively.
The LP50 printer, widely recognised for its innovative design and versatility, will significantly benefit from the integration of Epson’s cutting-edge PrecisionCore printhead technology, ensuring improved performance in inkjet printing. The LP50 is instrumental for researchers focused on the evaluation and development of inkjet materials used in various applications within the electronics sector.
In conjunction with this technological upgrade, SUSS and Epson will collaborate to introduce comprehensive “Application Kits” over time, featuring newly developed and tested processes and materials from Epson’s inkjet innovation laboratory in Japan. This initiative underscores the commitment of both companies to advancing the printed electronics industry through innovative solutions.
“Collaborating with Epson represents a significant advancement in our R&D efforts,” commented Robert Wanninger, Senior Vice President of SUSS. “Integrating Epson’s PrecisionCore printhead technology into our LP50 will not only enhance our capabilities but also provide our customers with state-of-the-art tools to push the boundaries of printed electronics. Together, we are dedicated to fostering innovation and excellence in this evolving market.”
The collaboration between SUSS and Epson marks a significant step forward in the evolution of printed electronics, demonstrating both companies’ commitment to delivering superior solutions within the industry.
