New printhead from Xaar

25 July 2014


Xaar's new 501 GS8 high-performance graphics printhead is claimed to deliver exceptional print quality, industrial-level reliability and high production up-time. It incorporates PrecisionPlus, a brand new architecture from Xaar designed to enable indoor and outdoor signage printers to remain at the leading edge of print performance.

The 501 also combines PrecisionPlus architecture with the option of Xaar's TF Technology to deliver exceptional reliability, even in the harshest environments.

This new architecture, which builds on Xaar's Hybrid Side Shooter design, optimises actuator performance to deliver "unprecedented" drop velocity, drop volume and drop placement profiles for consistent colour across the print swathe. This is said to result in outstanding print quality with smooth tints, gradations and excellent edge definition.

The new unit is the first in a family of printheads to incorporate PrecisionPlu, and is the result of considerable investment in R&D over recent years. It can print in binary mode at up to 1,440dpi with an 8pL drop size or with four grey levels at 360dpi to deliver high productivity with an effective resolution of over 600dpi. It is compatible with a range of solvent and UV inks.
