[China Packaging Network News] July 1, 2014, the world's leading manufacturer of inkjet printing technology, Xaar, today is pleased to announce the launch of the Xaar 501 GS8 - a high-performance inkjet print head that provides outstanding The print quality, industrial level reliability and high normal production run time. The new print head features PrecisionPlusTM patented technology. Xaar designed this new architecture, will make indoor and outdoor display inkjet printers are always at the forefront of printing technology. In addition, the Xaar 501 combines the PrecisionPlusTM patented technology architecture with Xaar's unique TF TechnologyTM patented technology to ensure superior reliability even under the most severe operating conditions. With this new print head, jet printer manufacturers and jet printer service providers can take advantage of market competition.
Xaar 501 is the first product of the series of printing heads with patented PrecisionPlusTM technology, which is the result of Xaar 501's continuous investment in R&D for many years. The new printhead can operate at 8 pL drop size in binary mode and up to 1440 dpi; or it can operate in 4-level grayscale and 360 dpi mode, providing high productivity with an effective resolution of over 600 dpi. It is also compatible with a wide range of solvents and UV-curing inks.
PrecisionPlusTM Patented Technology Improves Print Performance
This new architecture based on Xaar's highly successful Hybrid Side ShooterTM patented technology optimizes drive performance to provide unprecedented drop speed and drop volume, as well as uniform ink drop placement within the entire print print width. . This ensures outstanding print quality, soft and smooth images, and sharp edges.
Jet printer manufacturers choose TF TechnologyTM for unmatched reliability
With Xaar's TF TechnologyTM patented technology, industrial-level reliability can be achieved. This patented technology has been a motivating factor for customers to choose Xaar's world-leading Xaar 1002 print head. When using heavy pigments such as white ink, TF TechnologyTM reduces settling, extends machine maintenance cycles, and further increases reliability.
As a configuration option for the Xaar 501 printhead, the combination of TF TechnologyTM patented technology and the PrecisionPlusTM patented technology has two alternative modes, pulse mode and high flow rate mode. The TF TechnologyTM patented technology in high flow rate mode ensures that the ink flow is always flowing directly at the rear end of the nozzle at high flow rates during droplet ejection. In this way, air bubbles and useless particles in the ink flow can be carried away, and the reliability of the print head can be completely improved. In the new pulse mode of the TF TechnologyTM patented technology, ink is recycled only during the non-printing period, which brings the reliability of the patented technology to customers at the lowest cost and complexity. With TF TechnologyTM patented technology, the use of Xaar 501 print heads for high value-added results, such as printing on transparent or colored substrates with white or lacquer, is not difficult to achieve. For those who do not need TF TechnologyTM technology, the Xaar 501 can print with a standard wide format ink supply system.
Flexible and convenient integration
The Xaar 501 features precise mounting features that allow quick assembly of multiple print heads with minimal adjustment. The industry-standard fixed ink path and simple ink filling function also ensure that the print head can be integrated with the ink system simply and conveniently.
The versatile Xaar 501 printhead also gives manufacturers considerable freedom in on-demand printing. Ink supply options (vacuum control, and Xaar's TF TechnologyTM patented new pulse mode or high-flow mode) enable jet printer manufacturers to choose the best solution for the machine's purpose.
“The graphic arts sector is an important part of Xaar's business. The innovative new architecture of Precision PlusTM patented technology and the introduction of the Xaar 501 as the first product in this series of printing heads will ensure that our customers are always in print technology. The frontier,†said Richard Barham, sales and marketing director at Xaar. “The Xaar 501 uses new and proven technologies to provide outstanding print quality, industrial strength performance, and reliability, and is therefore extremely cost-effective. It gives manufacturers and end users a great competitive advantage."
The Xaar 501 print head will be the world's premiere at this year's Shanghai International Advertising Technology and Equipment Exhibition (July 3-6, at the New England International Expo Center, Hall W3 Hall 109, the British company Saier booth).
