Sure.

Kai BärGUEST
And, uh, for, for the last 15 years, since, um, the full color inkjet, uh, has been adapted, I think we are one of the, uh, uh, of the companies which are providing, um, the leading f- the leading drying systems in, in, in that area, uh, uh, for applications.

Kai BärGUEST
And, uh, there is a continuous, a continuous development of engineering, uh, dimensioning and configuring this to the wide range of inkjet applications.

Kai BärGUEST
Inkjet is not only printing, inkjet is, uh, also using for, uh, contactless coating.

Kai BärGUEST
But when we realized that, and, uh, we also saw, oh, even the, the analog printing technologies w- were decreasing, but the problem of preparation effort, the, the non-defined processing in these analog processes, um, had a big, a big benefit in order to have optimizations in the total process.

Yep.

Kai BärGUEST
And there we, we have gone against the strong barriers because that is, uh, was an area which was highly driven by f- air, uh, hot air systems.

Kai BärGUEST
We, uh, we have achieved in the last five years now, uh, established our technologies, uh, for water-based, uh, printing processes, especially, uh, beside cellulose-based materials, also on packaging, and packaging means often plastic and flexible packaging materials, which are today, or which have been today, very much limited in speed or limited to UV, uh, based processes, which we have now, um, uh, transferred and have us in established in a, in a certain area already to, uh, to be applied, uh, as removal of UV, especially in the area of food or skin-
