XAAR introduces two next generation printheads

Xaar, a global leader in the development and manufacture of drop-on demand inkjet technologies, recently launched two new printheads designed for significant performance benefits to the wide and grand-format inkjet printing markets. New entry-level, high-speed Xaar Electron and premium high productivity, wide-swathe Xaar Proton are next generation Platform 1 binary printheads.

Working closely with several leading printer manufacturers in the world, Xaar made the global introduction of the new printheads coincide with the commercial launch of next generation wide-format printers incorporating the technology. In a significant endorsement of the productivity of the new printheads, Witcolor, Hijet, Chiting Digital Technology and RTZ are launching five Xaar Electron-based models and 12 Xaar Proton-based solvent and UV inkjet models. “These new printheads are the result of our strategy to develop and enhance our existing technology platforms and invest in core inkjet markets,” said Ian Dinwoodie, CEO, Xaar.
