Xaar launches new printhead
Xaar, the world’s leading inkjet technology specialist, launches the All New Xaar 1002 GS6 for UV applications.
The Xaar 1002 GS6 has been developed and optimised for a wide range of UV applications; these include labels, laminates, direct-to-shape, packaging and other types of product decoration, where product quality and industrial levels of reliability are paramount.
The All New Xaar 1002 GS6 incorporates multiple new technology features, drawing on Xaar’s many years’ experience in a number of industry sectors, giving improved drop volume uniformity and drop placement accuracy for an even higher quality printed image. Featuring 1000 Optimised Geometry nozzles, the Xaar 1002 GS6 can jet and place drops with the highest precision on the market. As a result this new printhead produces high resolution text and images with smooth tones demanded by manufacturers globally.
A key feature of the All New Xaar 1002 is its ability to print heavily pigmented high opacity white inks and high viscosity varnishes extremely reliably, enabled by Xaar’s patented ink recirculation technology, TF Technology. Therefore it is the ideal printhead for a wide range of UV applications including labels and printing onto clear packaging for bottles, where opaque backup whites and high build spot varnishes are essential.
Systems featuring the All New Xaar 1002 GS6 printhead are available now from a number of Original Equipment Manufacturers including Autobond, Durst, EFI, FFEI, Hymmen, INX Digital, KHS, Krones, Sacmi, SPG Prints and Till Engineering.
