XAAR 1201 printhead is all set to for applications for graphics and textiles at the 26th Shanghai Ad and Sign Show (APPPEXPO) 2018, organising from March 28 – 31 at National Exhibition & Convention Center in Shanghai. The strong presence this year is largely the result of the company’s partnership with Guangzhou Hao Cheng International in Greater China. The application and integration expertise of Guangzhou Hao Cheng is helping OEMs bring to market graphics, industrial and textiles printers with the versatile XAAR 1201 printhead. Adoption of XAAR 1201 by printer manufacturers across Asia is gaining new momentum because the printhead is highly productive, capable of jetting multiple ink types such as aqueous, UV and eco-solvent. It is easy to align so that it is possible to have multiple printheads on a single head plate.
In addition, the XAAR 1201 can be used for wide range of textiles, graphics and industrial applications such as direct-to-garment, outdoor graphics, indoor back-lit signage graphics and many more. “Our OEM partners have been delighted with the performance and versatility of XAAR 1201 printhead and this is reflected in the number of new printer launches with the XAAR 1201 that we are seeing at Asian graphics and textiles shows this year,” says Bob Bobertz, Director of Sales-Asia, XAAR. He mentions they have recently returned from Media Expo 2018 in Mumbai, International Signs & LED Exhibition (ISLE) and DPES Sign Expo in Guangzhou where perceived new launches of XAAR 1201-based printers, with over 44 new printers exhibited across these shows. He expects the trend to continue at APPPEXPO with even more new printers on display.
