Product Overview
The Xaar 1001 GS12 Print Head is designed for high-reliability single-pass printing applications including labels, packaging, ceramics, advanced manufacturing, and product decoration. Utilizing Xaar's TF Technology (Through-Flow Technology) and Hybrid Side Shooter architecture, ink is continuously recirculated past the back of the nozzle during drop ejection, ensuring continuous operation even in harsh industrial printing environments.
Featuring 1000 active nozzles across 2 rows and an effective resolution exceeding 1000 dpi through 8 grey levels, the Xaar 1001 GS12 provides photographic image quality and crisp text while eliminating the need for light colors, reducing overall operating costs.
Key Features & Operational Advantages
- TF Technology & Hybrid Side Shooter: Continuous ink recirculation past the nozzle chamber minimizes air bubbles and sediment buildup for maximum operational reliability.
- Greyscale Printing Capability: Supports 8 grey levels with drop volumes from 12 to 84 pl for high contrast, smooth tonal transitions, and sharp details.
- High Native Resolution: Native 360 npi layout delivering over 1000 dpi effective print resolution.
- Easy Integration: Fully compatible with XUSB drive electronics and Hydra recirculating ink supply systems for fast system setup.
- Cost-Efficient Operation: High ink density and grayscale capability eliminate the requirement for light ink channels (e.g., Light Cyan, Light Magenta).
