rivaldo, thanks for posting the snippets. Perhaps all of this postive news will continue to project Xaar share price upwards towards former levels. Good luck to all holders.

"Xaar’s Unique High Laydown Technology Brings Extra Value to Labels
Wednesday, September 20, 2017

Cambridge - Xaar, the leader in industrial inkjet technology, is delighted to announce its unique new High Laydown Technology, now available for printing a range of textured effects on labels, folding cartons and products. Such high-build, textured effects (also called tactile or dimensional effects) can be used to significantly enhance the shelf appeal of products and ensure that they stand out when on display.

In addition, further highlighting the company’s continuing innovation, Xaar is announcing the extension of its Xaar 2001+ high performance printhead family to include UV applications such as printing labels and cartons."

Further good coverage - and a nice picture - here:

Interesting. Xaar share price has been creeping up all month. What is PG's reasoning rivado?

Panmure Gordon have today initiated coverage with a Buy and a 556p target - and this assumes no contribution at all from the 3-D printing HSS technology, which is a "significant potential source of upside risk".

More good news - XAR's high speed sintering (HSS) for 3D printers is being made commercially available for the first time through Voxeljet:

"voxeljet to Unveil First Commercial High Speed Sintering 3D Printer
Michael Molitch-Hou posted on September 13, 2017 |

Earlier this year, we learned from the inventor of high speed sintering (HSS), Xaar’s Neil Hopkinson, that his technology was right around the corner from a commercial release. Now, industrial 3D printer manufacturer voxeljet has announced it will unveil the world’s first commercially available HSS system at the November formnext trade show in Germany....

.....HSS will find its way into the marketplace through a licensing model, with firms licensing the technology from Xaar in order to incorporate HSS printheads onto their machines. The first such machine will be a modification of voxeljet’s VX200. The smallest of the German firm’s systems, the VX200 has a build volume of 300 x 200 x 150 mm....

...Dr. Ingo Ederer, voxeljet chief executive officer, said of the new product, “Our new high speed sintering process will initially be launched on our VX200 platform. With that, we are excited to offer to our customers great flexibility regarding process and machine parameters, as both can be tailored by our customers to their specific needs. We offer the option of open sourcing for materials, as our customers can choose various testing and validation services from voxeljet. ProPrint, our new and modular printing software, is available in a full access development-kit, allowing for even greater customization options. The availability and application of a wide range of 3D printable thermoplastic materials, including elastomers, makes this product line ideally suited for material suppliers, universities, and other institutions.”

Hopkinson told us in April that voxeljet is actually the smallest firm to have licensed the technology. This means that in November, not only will HP have some stiff competition, but that competition will have stiff competition as well."

Encouraging interview with the CEO:



Extract:

"It has returned to the graphics market with a bang, thanks to joint ventures with Ricoh and Xerox. A deal struck with one of China’s largest wide format graphics Oems in the country which has pledged to buy 90,000 1201 heads in the next two years. “It is the biggest ever deal in Xaar’s history,” he says. “The partnership with Xerox for the next bulk platform has delivered the first revenues from the 5501 head. We are pleased about that.”

It's outrageous that the incorrect wording slipped through.

Wonder if any other RNS's need rewording in a positive direction.

Good Grief!, Swing of £26million in asset value by the changing of the word 'decrease' to 'increase' :-). Only a minor correction to the RNS then.....and glad it went in the right direction too.....Happy Days.

From 12/7/17:
Doug Edwards commented, "I am delighted to announce the collaboration agreement today with Xerox, which is another strategic milestone for Xaar. Through sharing the R&D investment in the next generation bulk piezo platform, the Company will make savings which we will deploy into our sales and marketing function, as we continue to transform the business from an internally focused product company to a market and customer centric business."

The company expects to announce Interim results for H1 2017 on 6 September 2017.

Good news:



"Domino picks Xaar for new outer case coders
By Staff writer
25 Jul 2017

The largest variant in the Domino C-Series Plus range, the C6000+ is a high-resolution, large-character printer used to mark porous and semi-porous substrates

The Xaar 502 GS15 O has been chosen as the printhead technology for the 70mm C6000+ variant of the Domino C-Series Plus piezo drop-on-demand outer case coders.

The largest variant in the Domino C-Series Plus range, the C6000+ is a high-resolution, large-character printer used to mark porous and semi-porous substrates – cardboard boxes, trays and bags – for identification, traceability and graphic personalization. It is capable of printing TrueType fonts, graphics and GS1 compliant barcodes, and has a maximum print height of 70mm. In addition, it is compatible with a range of oil-based inks, including black mineral oil-free (MOF) SunJet IK822, the latest addition to Xaar’s approved ink portfolio.

The 502 GS15 O printhead utilizes Xaar’s piezoelectric actuator design, PrecisionPlus, which includes a long throw distance, and increased stability and robustness. Inclusion of an optimized nozzle guard to support automated maintenance routines makes the Xaar 502 GS15 O suitable for use in harsh, demanding coding and marking environments, Xaar said. The printhead also incorporates TF Technology, which can be run in either full through flow mode or pulsed mode. This optional mode recirculates ink behind the nozzles during non-printing periods.

‘Our customers look for consistently high quality codes, reliable performance and high uptime,’ said Andy Barrett, OCC at Domino Printing Services. ‘For our C6000+ printer, the new Xaar 502 printhead delivers on all accounts.’"

Well that sounds pleasing. Imo.

[stoxx67] 10/7/2017 09:26

it would be most interesting just to be poised for something other than disappointment with this company and its management.

the management have been truly dreadful for what should be a market leading innovator in its sector.

Interesting.........!

[mcsquirter73] 07/7/2017 05:38

What is happening on the 12th then? Should we be poised for something good?

[my retirement fund] 07/7/2017 02:04

So who's buying ahead of the 12th then?

[hyper al] 13/6/2017 10:52

tonsil

I believe they maybe, but I can't remember the source of the info. Could be in an RNS from a few years back.

[meijiman] 13/6/2017 10:42

Do the management of Xaar spend all day sleeping at their desks?
Time for the Chairman to wander round and see who is asleep.

[stoxx67] 31/5/2017 08:11

its time they got involved in something !!!

[tonsil] 31/5/2017 08:10

Are Xaar involved in emerging display technology?- "QLED display improves its reliability by using inorganic matters for existing OLED structure instead of organic matters, featuring better color gamut than OLED. 100% inkjet printing-based QLED is better in terms of manufacturing cost saving and large scale, compared to deposition-based OLED," BOE told OLEDnet.com.

[stoxx67] 25/5/2017 06:37

agreed...

no point having world class technology, if management are clueless on how to exploit that position.

[meijiman] 24/5/2017 08:44

Let's hope so as management here is clueless......

[stoxx67] 24/5/2017 08:05

it has been a barren couple of years for Xaar holders..

patience will pay at some stage, but i believe, due to the exceptionally poor performance of management and stock price, that this will be taken out in the not too distant future..

[andyr42] 10/5/2017 16:22

Plus world class technology. Patience will prevail
