XAAR has opened a state-of-the-art inkjet printing laboratory in Shenzhen, China. The lab is designed as a platform where latest printhead test equipment and print process experimentation will be conducted. Utilising its own printheads, ink recirculation system and fluids, XAAR will collaborate with leading local electronics companies to achieve synergy across the industry supply chain. The laboratory will focus on providing XAAR’s customers and partners in China, including scientific research institutions, a variety of services.
The new lab is designed to provide support in areas such as sample printing, solution development, printhead nozzle status detection and waveform adjustments for new applications, providing a printing solution showcase and technical consultation for the greater use of inkjet technologies. Sectors supported include ceramics, glass, PCB, textiles, 3D printing, packaging and labels, with inkjet printing support provided locally to help customers develop more targeted application solutions and achieve faster innovation cycles, all whilst reducing their R&D investment.
