Marlborough, MA January 7, 2004 - With the release of the X4 Automatic Printer, EKRA raises the bar for value and performance to a level unmatched by any other offering in the industry. While other printer manufacturers reduce capability as price is reduced, EKRA continues to provide the most efficiently designed products that reduce capital cost while maintaining critical capabilities. The industry standard for repeatability capability needed for low defect printing is +/- 0.0005" @ 6 Sigma. At a price point of under $70,000 the X4 is the only machine available that provides this level of real value without compromise. The X4 will also have all of the market leading EKRA options such as 2 1/2D post print inspection and EKRA's unique software controlled dual lighting vision system.
