Diversified Nano Corporation delivers new generation MICR ink for high speed color production inkjet printers to HP^®

SAN DIEGO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Diversified Nano Corporation ("DNC") is pleased to announce that Hewlett Packard Company ("HP") has selected DNC to supply high performance MICR ink (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) for use with HP's high speed Inkjet Web Presses. Uniquely positioned in the industry, DNC's expertise and capabilities meet key MICR ink performance and manufacturer selection criteria.

DNC's MICR inks are designed for K-channel (black) print operation of inkjet printers. In some specialized high-volume production inkjet printer configurations MICR ink capability is integrated based on a 5^th print channel to magnetically functionalize select content on print items such as the bank code (MICR) line at the bottom of checks (E13B and CMC7 font), barcodes/marks, security and authentication content for verification purposes. High speed full color digital inkjet presses are frequently deployed in transpromo, transactional and financial applications, where magnetically functional, personalized items can now be printed at full press speed in-stream with all other parts of a highly customized mono or full-color digital print job. The fully integrated MICR ink process can save organizations significant cost of operation and ownership associated with highly personalized and customized MICR and non-MICR color inkjet printing applications.

DNC's water based MICR ink formulation for the HP Inkjet Web Press^TM family offers multi-year shelf life, premium optical density, extreme light- and water-fastness, exceptional environmental compatibility and, most importantly, magnetic and physical properties which meet or exceed industry requirements. "We are pleased with HP's confidence in DNC's capabilities to help enable key high speed digital MICR printing functionality for its T-series Inkjet Web Presses," said Bruce Carnes, Director of Business Development at DNC.

DNC's high performance MICR ink for the HP Inkjet Web Press^TM T200, T300, T350 and T400 is available through HP^® and its authorized channel partners. DNC MICR ink for HP^® inkjet platforms other than the Web Press are available through approved DNC partners and select HP^® solution providers.
