Sherwood Technology Lasers For High Speed Printing
Sherwood Technology Limited has launched Datalase, a new coding, marking and printing technique.
Anthony Jarvis is a research and development scientist with experience in delivering development projects in-line with strategic objectives and immediate business needs.
Previously working as an R and D scientist for both Colormatrix Europe and Unilever R and D, Jarvis brings to Datalase experience of working within laboratories, said the company.
Jarvis also holds a PhD in applied organic chemistry from the University of Leeds and a BSc (honours) degree in colour and polymer chemistry.
A the university he was awarded the SDC centenary prize because of his examination results.
He has experience in experiment design and is a named inventor on eight patent applications, of which at least three made it to product launch, indicating his ability to bring the Datalase NIR inks to the market.
He will be responsible for R and D in the field of NIR inks.
Datalase offers a range of marking and imaging systems, which use the DataLase inks.
The ink is applied to packaging substrates at either the printing or converting stages and once exposed to a low power Datalase-approved CO2 laser undergoing a chemical reaction in the pigment, turning it from white to black.
By developing inks in the NIR range, Datalase said it will be able to offer its customers a refined system for imaging a wide range of substrates.
NIR lasers are significantly cheaper than the CO2 lasers that are currently used to 'activate' the Datalase technology.
Steve Kelly, chief executive officer at Datalase, commented: "As a competent and skilled project manager, we are very excited to have Anthony joining us at Datalase. Request free introductory details about products from DataLase ...
We are certain that his influence will contribute positively to the development of the Datalase suite of products.".
