Description
Inkjet printing technology group Xaar has launched its latest printhead, the Nitrox, which delivers higher print speeds across a range of applications.
The Nitrox has the same Hybrid Side Shooter architecture and physical size as 1003, with a 70 mm print width and 1000 nozzles at 360 dpi. However, the major advantage of the Nitrox is that Xaar has upgraded the electronics as Michael Walsh, Xaar’s chief product architect, explains: “We have increased the data rate of the image and increased the frequency of the image getting sent to the printhead. In addition to that, we have been able to upgrade how we generate waveforms and have developed a new waveform development process that allows us to access these higher frequencies. As such, we have moved from 36 kHz to 48 kHz with this product.
Whether using the latest highly viscous fluids for 3D printing or High Laydown for packaging and labels, the speed, performance, and productivity of the Xaar Nitrox mean you can print right the first time, every time.
The Xaar Nitrox Elite GS6 printhead is fully backward compatible with printers that already use the Xaar 1003 GS6U printhead.
