XAAR celebrates 25 years of digital inkjet leadership

Since its incepted in the year 1990 as a four-member company in a small office on Cambridge Science Park in Cambridge suburb of Chesterton, UK, XAAR always looked at the goal to develop and commercialise the digital inkjet print technology arising out of work done by Cambridge Consultants. Today the company employs more than 600 people worldwide with offices in Hong Kong, India and USA. And today the company is 25 years old and it has proved itself to be an inkjet innovator many times. The company’s XAAR 128 printhead transformed the wide-format printing industry 20 years ago; even today XAAR technology still drives approximately 75 percent of the wide-format printers in use. To mark its 25th anniversary XAAR organised a programme of events during the summer and autumn.
