Xaar has added the 5501 to its portfolio of aqueous printheads for OEMs. This is the first product resulting from Xaar’s collaboration with Xerox, and is said to deliver high print quality combined with low printing costs whilst integration costs will also be kept to a minimum.
The new Xaar 5501 is a lightweight 1200dpi printhead considered ideal for a range of water-based digital printing applications such as textiles (digital direct to garment, dye sublimation transfer and soft signage) and graphics (banners, posters, displays). It has 5544 nozzles, each producing 5pl sub-drops giving an impressive 115mm print width for high quality print at high productivity.
The 5501’s construction makes it compatible with a range of fluids including aqueous inks, low viscosity UV or solvent-based inks.
