Share:
(October 25, 2006) - DataLase originator of the award-winning DataLase® process announces the appointment of Anthony Jarvis as Project Manager for Research and Development. Anthony Jarvis joins DataLase with the aim to discover novel chemistries for use in DataLase's near infra-red (NIR) imaging inks.
Anthony Jarvis is a research and development scientist with extensive experience in delivering development projects in line with strategic objectives and immediate business needs. Previously working as an R&D Scientist for both ColorMatrix Europe Ltd and Unilever R&D, Anthony brings to DataLase a wealth of experience of working within laboratories. Anthony also holds a PhD in Applied Organic Chemistry from the University of Leeds and a B.Sc. (Hons) Degree in Colour and Polymer Chemistry also from the University of Leeds where he was awarded the 'SDC Centenary prize' on the basis of his examination results.
Anthony will be responsible for R&D in the field of NIR inks. DataLase offers a range of marking and imaging solutions which use the novel 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 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.
With broad management and project development experience, Anthony is a competent and skilled team leader, with considerable experience in experiment design. Additionally Anthony is a named inventor on eight patent applications, of which at least 3 made it to product launch, indicating his ability to bring the DataLase® NIR inks to the market.
Steve Kelly, CEO at DataLase comments: "As a competent and skilled project manager, we are very excited to have Anthony joining us at DataLase. We are certain that his influence will contribute positively to the development of the DataLase® suite of products."
