Print Vision, Issue 4, May 2026
Dear colleagues, partners, and leaders in print,
When people see a technology platform in the market, they often see the final expression: the finished product, the performance metrics, the partnerships and the real-world adoption.
What they don’t see is the long history behind it. From the thousands of engineering decisions, the reiterations and refinements, the ongoing R&D investment to the extensive cross-disciplinary contribution required.
Innovation, especially at an industrial scale, is rarely a single moment. It is a story measured in decades.
From Breakthrough to Dependability
In the early stages of any technology, progress is often judged by visible breakthroughs. In inkjet technology that translates to speed, performance and resolution. These milestones are important, but they are only part of the story.
Over time, the focus shifts. The real measure of progress becomes consistency, reliability, and the ability to perform predictably in real-world production environments. This transition from breakthrough to dependability is where true industrial value is created. It is also where discipline matters most.
The Power of Compounding Knowledge
Today, as I share the industrious history of Memjet, I’m reminded that progress is not linear. It compounds through persistence. It matures through discipline. And it strengthens when talented teams remain committed to a shared technical vision over time.
Behind every generation of Memjet technology is a depth of experience that continues to inform what comes next. Lessons learned in one domain, whether in materials, fluid dynamics, manufacturing processes, or system integration, are carried forward and refined.
Over time, this accumulation of knowledge becomes a strategic advantage. Each generation of technology carries forward the lessons of the last, not just in architecture, but in mindset.
Building on Stable Foundations
This continuity is important. It allows innovation to build on stable foundations, rather than starting from first principles each time. It enables platforms to evolve in a way that is both forward-looking and grounded in real-world performance.
As industry expectations rise, stability becomes more than a technical requirement. It becomes a strategic foundation for partners and businesses building their operations around these platforms. Stability is also a reflection of the people behind the technology.
Our engineers, scientists, manufacturing teams, and partners across the globe bring not only expertise, but a shared commitment to solving complex problems with rigor and integrity.
At Memjet, technology moves forward because our people do. And because our teams stay committed to a shared direction over time.
Looking Back to Move Forward
Looking back is not about celebrating the past. It is about recognizing the depth of experience that informs what comes next.
In an industry where expectations continue to rise, that depth is important. It shapes how we approach reliability, how we think about scalability, and how we support our partners as they build their own platforms and businesses.
Because in the end, progress is not defined by a single breakthrough. It is defined by what endures. And in our industry, the future is built by those who respect the journey.
Winning through Innovation, Focus and Perseverance
Sustained progress is not accidental. It is the result of deliberate choices made over time. Innovation provides the forward momentum. It challenges assumptions, opens new possibilities, and ensures that platforms continue to evolve in step with the changing needs of the market.
Focus ensures that this innovation is directed with purpose. It allows teams to solve complex challenges. And it is what turns ambition into execution in an increasingly fast-moving industry.
Perseverance is what carries both forward. It is what sustains long-term development through complexity, uncertainty, and iteration. It is also what enables ideas to mature into dependable, scalable technologies that partners can build upon with confidence.
Together, these qualities define how Memjet has evolved, and how we will continue to move forward. Not through isolated moments of progress, but through a consistent commitment to advancing what matters most.
If you’re interested in the journey that shaped our technology, I invite you to take a moment to watch the story unfold.
Warm regards,
Sunil Gupta
Chief Executive Officer, Memjet
