Insights
Matthews' new XIJ printing technology brings significant competitive advantages that could strengthen market position and drive future revenue growth.
Matthews International's new Axian Inkjet (XIJ) printing technology represents a significant technical innovation in the industrial marking space. By merging the capabilities of Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technologies through proprietary micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), Matthews has created a solution that addresses critical pain points in high-speed production environments.
The technology's ability to simultaneously print 2D codes and multi-line text without reducing line speed provides a compelling value proposition for manufacturers in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors, where production efficiency directly impacts bottom-line performance. The technical specifications - including 100 DPI resolution at 8mm throw distance, speeds up to 200 ft/min, and the elimination of makeup fluids - represent meaningful improvements over traditional systems.
From a competitive standpoint, Matthews appears to have developed intellectual property that could create sustainable differentiation in a market where technical advantages are increasingly difficult to achieve. The closed ink system, which eliminates solvent additives, aligns with growing industry demands for more environmentally sustainable operations while simultaneously reducing operational costs.
This innovation signals Matthews' continued commitment to R&D investment in their industrial technologies segment and could strengthen their position in the product identification and tracking market, particularly as manufacturers embrace Industry 4.0 automation. With the product launch scheduled for next week's Pack Expo, this announcement may translate to near-term contract opportunities and potential revenue acceleration in upcoming quarters.
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 Printing
Utilizing 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 speed
- Lowered total cost of ownership (TCO) by eliminating make up fluids and reducing maintenance costs
- Full print resolution at faster speeds compared to CIJ
- User adjustable ink controls for clear, high-quality marks
