XAAR 2002 PREMIUM GS12
Introducing the Xaar 2002
The Xaar 2002 printhead incorporates the latest advancements in inkjet technology, delivering faster setup, easier installation, and reduced downtime. Designed with new alignment features and individually lasered nozzles, the Xaar 2002 ensures outstanding print uniformity, consistent drop formation, and improved colour density across the full print swathe.
Key Advantages
- Exceptional Print Quality – 720 dpi native resolution for sharp edges, crisp text, and smooth pattern definition.
- AcuChp™ Technology – Balanced actuator selection and chip trimming deliver uniform colour tone straight out of the box, with reduced density variation across printheads.
- Ultra High Laydown – Print at up to 240 g/m² for bold, vivid output across a wide range of applications.
- XaarDOT™ Variable Drop Sizes – From 6 pL to 400 pL, ensuring the perfect balance of detail and coverage.
- TF Technology® Ink Recirculation – Industry-leading ink recirculation prevents nozzle blockages, improves reliability, and extends open time.
Ease of Use
- Plug-and-Print Installation – Drop-in alignment with tight mechanical tolerances for quick and simple integration.
- Consistent Drop Volumes – Reliable performance from nozzle-to-nozzle, printhead-to-printhead, for repeatable results.
- Smooth Tones & Flat Tints – Precision nozzle lasering ensures uniform colour density across the print bar.
Serviceability
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership – Serviceable design allows flexible circuits, gaskets, and screws to be replaced using the Xaar 2002 service pack.
- Sustainable Repair Options – More heads can be recovered locally, reducing shipping, replacement costs, and downtime.
Customisation Options
- OEM Branding – Add your own logo or branding to the printhead for a more integrated solution.
- Flexible Integration – Designed for use across multiple applications and print system architectures.
Unrivalled printing capability with Xaar technology
Xaar’s TF Technology together with the
unique Hybrid Side Shooter printhead
architecture enables fluids to flow directly
past the back of the nozzle during drop
ejection at very high flow rates.
– Nozzles are continuously primed, the
printhead stays operational and the
nozzles keep firing
– Sedimentation and nozzle blocking
are prevented, particularly in heavily
pigmented inks
– Any air bubbles and unwanted particles
in the ink are carried away
– Reliability is improved, even in the
harshest industrial environment
– Jetting is significantly more reliable
compared to alternative printhead
designs (where convoluted ink flow paths
means recirculation is close to, but not
at, the back of the nozzle)
– Startup after periods of idle time is
trouble free.
Xaar’s High Laydown Technology enables
a range of new applications, thanks to its
ability to deposit large quantities of fluid
in each pass.
For packaging, labels and commercial
print, it is capable of printing very high
levels of UV inks or high build varnish in
a single pass for tactile embellishments.
In addition, the technology satisfies
dimension specifications for printing
Braille and complies with European
standards for tactile warning triangles
on labels, without the complexity of
screen printing.
High Laydown Technology delivers
unprecedented ink discharge rates for
gloss and adhesive effects on ceramic
tiles, so that effects can be printed at
high line speeds.
For additive manufacturing applications,
High Laydown Technology offers increased
printing productivity which significantly
accelerates build rate for parts and the
ability to print a broader range of fluids
including higher viscosity materials; this
ultimately results in tougher 3D printed
parts than those printed with standard
inkjet technology
Typically, inkjet is well known for being
limited to jetting fluids of around 10 to
25 cP. Xaar technology, however, is capable
of jetting much higher viscosities up to
100 cP (Ultra High Viscosity combined
with Xaar’s High Laydown Technology).
Ultra High Viscosity jetting
opens up a range of new inkjet
possibilities:
– Higher particle loading and particle sizes
for increased colour gamut, opacity and
special effects (for graphics, ceramic tile
and glass printing)
– Ability to print higher molecular weight
photopolymers leading to increased
toughness and flexibility for printed
materials (useful in Advanced
Manufacturing and 3D printing)
– Reduced spreading for better edge
definition on non-porous substrates
(useful for example in glass printing
applications)
– Printing a wider range of functional
fluids (such as paint, adhesives and
solder masks).
