Xaar, the world leader in industrial inkjet technology, is delighted to announce the launch of the Xaar 1002 GS40 for UV applications. Already proven in the ceramics tile decoration industry, the launch of this printhead into the UV market makes possible a range of high build varnish and textured effects for labels, packaging, graphics and wood laminate.
This latest addition to the market-leading Xaar 1002 family of printheads jets drop volumes from 40 - 160pL and has greyscale capability (5 levels). It is perfect for printing UV spot varnish and for applications requiring a high laydown at higher print speeds. And, depending on the drop size, the printhead can lay down extra opaque whites with a larger drop size or a finer base of whites with a smaller drop size; this can be particularly useful in creating fine detailed effects. For those wishing to print solid white base coats underneath fine halftone images or text, such as companies printing labels or packaging, the Xaar 1002 GS40 can be used in combination with the Xaar 1002 GS6 printhead.
