The Xaar 1003 printheads
The company’s range of inkjet printheads and products will be presented alongside new Thin Film silicon MEMS technology at drupa.
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 its Print Bar system, the 501 printhead, the new 1003 printhead and more.
The 1003 family of printheads, which incorporates the company’s TF technology, is the latest generation of the 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 1002 and its predecessor, the original 1001.
The Print Bar system adds single pass inkjet capability to analogue web presses. Launched at Labelexpo last year, the 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 for personalised, variable data, special effects and short run printing for a range of applications, including labels and packaging, and saves the considerable cost and time associated with analogue production methods.
The 501 printhead delivers excellent reliability, high production up-time and exceptional print quality. It incorporates the PrecisionPlus architecture which optimises 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.
