Print perfect

Article Abstract:

Xaar is a technology company specialising in printing and ink, which plans a stock exchange listing, raising from 10 million pounds sterling to 12 million pounds. This gives a value of some 60 million pounds for the company, or 24 times sales for 1996. The company has developed a new printing technique and this is used to justify the multiple. The technology offers faster printing but has not been fully tested, so profit estimates have to be interpreted with caution.
