The Xaar 1002 GS6 printhead has been developed and optimised for UV applications. The head is said to have improved drop volume uniformity and drop placement accuracy.
It features 1000 Optimised Geometry nozzles and a key feature of the new 1002 is its ability to print heavily pigmented high opacity white inks and high viscosity varnishes via Xaar’s patented ink recirculation technology, TF Technology.
The Xaar 1002 GS6 can handle a wide range of fluids and viscosity ranges and is backwards compatible with the Xaar 1001 GS6. Also available alongside the Xaar 1002 GS6 is a range of systems components, including the new slimline HPC3, the XUSB and Xaar Hydra. These have been designed for easy configuration, optimisation and integration to reduce time to market. In addition, the improved uniformity of the Xaar 1002 GS6 allows manufacturers to configure narrow-web and wide-format printers faster and more easily. As the 1002 GS6 is fully compatible with 1001 GS6-enabled printers, users can easily upgrade.
Systems featuring the new Xaar 1002 GS6 printhead are available from OEMs including Autobond, Durst, EFI, FFEI, Hymmen, INX Digital, KHS, Krones, Sacmi, SPG Prints and Till Engineering.
