Partnership Will Enable Foxconn to Deliver New Digital Imaging Products with the ZINK(TM) Zero Ink(TM) Technology

WALTHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 7, 2008 ZINK Imaging, Inc. and Foxconn Technology Group today publicly announced their strategic partnership to design, commercialize, and market a range of ZINK(TM)-enabled digital printing products.

In this partnership, ZINK Imaging, inventor of the ZINK Technology and manufacturer of the ZINK Paper(TM), is collaborating with Foxconn on the development of ZINK-enabled devices for partner companies looking to enhance their digital imaging product lines with new innovative printing solutions. These companies will bring ZINK-enabled devices and ZINK Paper to the marketplace under their respective brands.

ZINK Imaging and Foxconn are actively collaborating with numerous global companies and expect the first in an extensive roadmap of ZINK-enabled products to ship in 2008. One of these first products will be a digital camera with an integrated ZINK-enabled printer.

ZINK Imaging and Foxconn together are creating a new "ZINK" category of printers where key features are small, simple, mobile, earth friendly, and no ink. At the heart of this new category of printing is the ZINK Paper. The patented ZINK Paper is an advanced composite material with embedded yellow, magenta, and cyan dye crystals. A ZINK-enabled printer uses heat to activate and colorize these crystals. The printing process is now radically simple. Just add paper(TM) and print.

Foxconn is a multi-billion dollar company with extensive capabilities and its recent acquisition of Premier Image Technology Corporation makes it a leader in digital imaging and capture devices. Foxconn's competitive advantages stem from the award-winning eCMMS business model and a unique Foxconnian culture. Foxconn defines company products as Speed, Quality, Engineering Services, Flexibility, and Monetary Cost Saving. Foxconnians are devoted to customer's long-term success and take pride in the hardworking culture. Foxconn has over 15,000 patents granted worldwide and is a recognized leader of innovation and technical know-how in rankings such as MIT's patent scorecard.

"Foxconn has amazing capabilities in developing digital imaging products," said Wendy Caswell, President and CEO, ZINK Imaging. "Foxconn's expertise coupled with the ZINK disruptive technology will generate a robust product line of digital capture and print devices."
