Xaar to Show Inkjet Printheads, Print Bar System for Analog Web Presses at drupa
CAMBRIDGE, England — April 5, 2016 — Xaar, the leader in industrial inkjet technology, will present its range of premium inkjet printheads and products, announce a number of exciting new developments and launch a new Thin Film silicon MEMS technology platform at drupa (Hall 6 Stand C05).
Xaar’s printheads are at the heart of a vast number of industrial inkjet print systems around the world delivering both production efficiencies and increased manufacturing capabilities only possible using inkjet technology. A broad base of manufacturers operating in ceramic tile manufacture, packaging and label printing, direct-to-shape decoration, graphics production and additive manufacturing rely upon Xaar’s bulk piezo technology.
At drupa Xaar will highlight the Xaar Print Bar System, the Xaar 501 printhead, the new Xaar 1003 printhead (launched March 2016) and more.
The Xaar 1003 family of printheads, which incorporates Xaar’s unrivaled TF Technology, is the latest generation of the trusted Xaar 100x series of printheads. It sets a new benchmark for industrial inkjet printing and achieves the longest maintenance-free production runs in the industry*. With its all-round superior performance, high productivity and versatility, the new Xaar 1003 builds on the market-leading Xaar 1002 and its predecessor, the original and ground-breaking Xaar 1001.
The Xaar Print Bar System adds single-pass inkjet capability to analog web presses. Launched at Labelexpo last year, the Xaar Print Bar System allows users to take advantage of the benefits of digital printing easily and economically to deliver more creativity to their customers. This is a versatile, easy-to-configure solution ideal for personalized, variable data, special effects and short-run printing for a range of applications, including labels and packaging, and it saves the considerable cost and time associated with analog production methods.
The feature-rich Xaar 501 printhead delivers excellent reliability, high production up-time and exceptional print quality. It incorporates the unique PrecisionPlus architecture which optimizes the printhead actuator performance to give more uniform drop formation across the print swathe and, therefore, exceptional print quality. For added reliability, particularly key for harsh environments, users can benefit from Xaar’s TF Technology.
