Industrial ink jet printing systems manufacturers worldwide recognize the Spectra name as synonymous with quality, high performance, and reliability. These companies incorporate our powerful shear-mode piezoelectric DOD printhead technology into a widening variety of printing and dispensing systems.

Spectra's Technology Integration (STI) division was established in 2002 to provide custom systems and point solutions for companies that need more than just great technology and components. STI develops, builds, and supports complete ink jet printing systems, based on our proprietary printhead technology. Our clients are companies that need fully integrated and industrially reliable systems, designed and built to their specific requirements.

Since our founding, we have built a formidable team - including mechanical, electrical, chemical and software engineers - giving us a depth of expertise in all of the disciplines required for successful integrated ink jet solutions. We have established an impressive track record working with companies whose requirements are not addressed by commercially available products, and have developed, manufactured, and installed sophisticated custom ink jet printing systems.

We have unique skills in the areas of mechanical engineering, process control which includes industrial I/O, and integrating mechanical, electrical, industrial interface, and ink components. In electrical engineering, our strengths include: high-speed data paths, system control, end-user software, embedded systems programming, GUIs, image flow and processing. Customized electronics ensures optimal performance of the systems we develop.
