Xaar is inviting visitors to its Cambridge R&D facility on 7 November to see how its latest technologies are redefining the boundaries of inkjet printing and opening new opportunities for graphics, textiles, decorative and advanced packaging applications.
“With our latest technologies many of the traditional boundaries of what can, or cannot, be printed by inkjet are no longer relevant. Our Open Day will help people see what is now possible using fluids with higher viscosities and a higher particle loading, with demonstrations showcasing how Xaar’s inkjet can now unleash opportunities in so many new sectors and applications,” said Karl Forbes, Xaar group R&D director.
Those wishing to attend the open day can their interest on Xaar’s website. The event will be held the day before the start of FuturePrint Tech ‘Digital Print for Manufacturing’ conference in Cambridge on the 8/9 November, where Forbes will also be presenting a talk titled ‘Seeing is believing’.
Traditionally, inkjet has been limited by its ability to print fluids of viscosities between 10 to 25cP, however, Xaar’s ultra high viscosity technology has changed this. Fluids of up to 100cP at jetting temperature (approximately 1000cP at room temperature) and those with a high particle loading can now be used, ropening up the opportunities for inkjet.
