XAAR announces the launch of 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 have greyscale capability (5 levels). It is perfect for printing UV spot varnish and for applications requiring a high laydown at higher print speeds.
The large drop capability of the XAAR 1002 GS40 also means it is ideal for printing high build spot varnish or tactile, textured effects, such as wood grain, which improve the visual appearance of edge banding or other wood laminate products manufactured by the décor industry. In addition, the throughput of this printhead surpasses that of any other on the market; this is due to greyscale capability combined with high drop size which delivers a very high volume of ink laydown per nozzle.
