The Xaar 1201 Printhead is a versatile and cost-effective 1280-nozzle piezo printhead designed for entry-level wide-format, UV flatbed, and textile printers running eco-solvent, aqueous, or UV inks.
The Xaar 1201 Printhead is a compact, high-performance piezoelectric drop-on-demand printhead designed for entry-level wide-format digital printers. Equipped with 1280 nozzles arranged across 4 separate rows, it offers the flexibility to print with 1, 2, or 4 color channels from a single head.
Engineered with variable drop size technology ranging from 2 to 12 picoliters, the Xaar 1201 delivers smooth color gradients, sharp text, and high-contrast photographic output at resolutions up to 1440 dpi. Its broad ink system compatibility—supporting eco-solvent, aqueous pigment/sublimation, and UV-curable inks—makes it an adaptable choice for signage, indoor/outdoor graphics, and textile printing applications.

Operational Advisory & Installation Guidelines
- Precision Component Handling: Printheads are delicate electronic devices. Always handle the printhead with extreme care and avoid touching the nozzle plate or contact pins.
- Power Isolation: Ensure the printing machine is completely powered off and unplugged from main power before disconnecting or installing printhead cables.
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Safety: Use anti-static wrist grounding straps during installation to prevent static electricity from damaging the internal piezo actuators.
- Final Sale Notice: Due to the sensitive electrical and chemical nature of printhead installations, installed printheads cannot be returned or refunded once opened or mounted.
