Xaar's 1002 GS6 next generation printhead has been developed for a wide range of UV applications, including labels, laminates, direct-to-shape, packaging and other types of product decoration.
The unit is said to incorporate multiple new technology features that give improved drop volume uniformity and drop placement accuracy for an even higher quality printed image. Featuring 1000 Optimised Geometry nozzles, it can jet and place drops "with the highest precision on the market".
A key feature of the new printhead is its ability to print heavily pigmented high opacity white inks and high viscosity varnishes extremely reliably, enabled by Xaar's patented TF Technology ink recirculation system. This is said to make it ideal for a wide range of UV applications including labels and printing onto clear packaging for bottles, where opaque backup whites and high build spot varnishes are essential.
