The new Xaar 501 printhead reaches higher levels of performance
in inkjet graphics. Whether printing large exterior banners or indoor
point-of-sale material, this premium printhead delivers exceptional
print quality, excellent reliability and high production up-time. Value
added effects such as printing on transparent or coloured substrates or
adding varnishes are made easy with the Xaar 501.
The new and unique PrecisionPlus™ architecture
of the Xaar 501 builds on Xaar’s incredibly successful Hybrid Side
Shooter™ architecture. This new architecture optimises the actuator
performance giving more uniform drop formation across the print swathe
and therefore exceptional print quality for stunning graphics.
PrecisionPlus
architecture flips the PZT’s (Piezo actuators) supporting substrate on
its side so the PZT is on the edge of a rigid block of substrate. This
architecture means that there is more stiffness in the z axis (better
support for the PZT).
This Xaar 501 GS8 OR is suitable for oil-based printers with a recirculation ink system.
The
ability to print high viscosity or heavily pigmented inks such as white
becomes a practical reality with TF Technology® in Pulsed mode or High
Flow mode. Any debris or air bubbles in the printhead are continuously
cleared from the rear of the nozzles and removed.
The
Xaar 501 GS8 OR has a WFG (wide format graphic) nozzle guard which is
closer to the actuator providing protection from substrate damage. This
nozzle guard wraps around the front of the actuator.
The
Xaar 501 GS8 OR can be used as a replacement to Xaar 500/40 printheads
(discontinued). An ICM (Interface connection module) enables X500/40
based printers to communicate with Xaar 501 printheads. The ICM requires
a waveform loaded onto it by Xaar. In many cases, the ink system of the
Xaar 500/40 based printer will also need some modification as Xaar 500
printheads has 4 ink feeds whereas Xaar 501 printheads have 1 ink feed).
Our engineer team can help implementing these changes to migrate
existing printers from 500/40 to 501 printheads.
