History
-
Kpowerscience Co., Ltd. , which was founded in October 1978, started its business primarily in researching, developing and manufacturing industrial automatic control and Chinese-character telex equipment. At the same year, the company cooperated with Control Data Taiwan, Inc. in developing and manufacturing computer products such as Chinese-character display terminals, and Chinese-character printer controllers for impact and non-impact printers.

Since the year of 1980, Kpowerscience has perceived that laser printers would become the mainstream in the printer industry. Therefore, the company has devoted its effort on researching and developing Chinese-character printer controllers for laser printers. In May 1982, Kpowerscience proudly introduced the first heavy-duty 2500 LPM continuous form laser printer, which contained a Chinese-character printer controller, to the public, and officially brought out this product to the market. Customers´ response to the product was overwhelmingly good, and the success of this new product gave us not only the enjoyment of achievement, but also the great confidence in our technical capabilities.

In 1990, Kpowerscience adopted a policy of "Indigenous Technology," which aimed at developing and building printer engines and consumables by using its own resources. Accordingly, the company invested a great amount of venture capital for the development of laser printer engines, peripherals, and consumables. After making every endeavor for many years, we finally built our first self-designed peripheral product, a Power Stacker for Toray GPX, and officially announced the new product in 1996. Due to its excellent performance, the Power Stacker attracted the attention of worldwide continuous form laser printer suppliers. Some of the major manufacturers intended to use our stackers to replace their self-designed products. Furthermore, our constant R & D capability enabled us to release a number of quality consumables for continuous form laser printers in 1997. The prices of the consumables were highly competitive so customers could have alternatives with cost advantage.

The year of 1998 was a milestone in Kpowerscience's history. In that remarkable year, the company released KP5100L and KP4200L low-cost high-speed continuous form laser (LED) printers. The year of 2001 was another significant year for Kpowerscience. The company independently manufactured its own designed KP3828 continuous form laser (LED) printer, and proudly released the product to the market in July of the same year. Having the capability of self-design and manufacture, Kpowerscience has ultimately become one of the major manufacturers for continuous form laser printer in the world.
