Xaar extends offering

Xaar’s High Laydown Technology is now available for printing a range of textured effects on labels, folding cartons and other products. The company has simultaneously announced the extension of the Xaar 2001+ high performance printhead family to include UV applications.

When incorporated into the Xaar 1003 and Xaar 2001+ printheads, High Laydown (HL) can be used to print very high levels of UV clear varnish, even at high speed. The Xaar 1003 GS12U can print an 80 micron layer thickness at 25 m/min line speed, or a 50 micron layer at 50 m/min, in a single pass, thereby building in texture as part of the print process. As well as adding texture as part of the print process, Xaar’s HL Technology can be used for producing raised foil effects for extra impact. Braille can also be created without the need for an additional print stage or process.
