First XAAR 1201 printers launched in China

XAAR announces that Guangzhou Xucheng Electronic Technology (Xucheng) is the first OEM partner to develop, and launch, wide-format inkjet printers based on its innovative new XAAR 1201 Thin Film piezo printhead. Xucheng, under the brand name Xu Li, has produced four wide-format, roll-to-roll eco-solvent printers with the XAAR 1201 printhead and recently demonstrated two models ‒ X7-3207 and X7-2007 ‒ for the first time in China. “It’s an honour to work with XAAR”, says James Zhao, GM of Xucheng. He adds that XAAR has already dominated the coding and marking and ceramic tile inkjet printing markets and I am certain that with the XAAR 1201 they are entering a new era in the graphics industry.

XAAR 1201, announced at the drupa 2016, is a versatile and compact greyscale printhead. It prints 1, 2 or 4 colours, delivers a high level of quality and performance, and is capable of handling aqueous and eco-solvent inks. Designed for easy integration by printer manufacturers, the printhead features 1280 nozzles jetting variable drop sizes to produce high quality graphics on a wide range of substrates at an apparent resolution of up to 1440dpi.
