Grayscale Printheads Go On Show At FESPA 2008
The Fespa Digital exhibition will see Xaar stage inkjet printing technology demonstrations that will show the potential of its latest 760 and 1001 grayscale printheads.
The IPS C-9000 has been designed by Impika and integrates Xaar Leopard printheads.
It offers near-photographic print results and is suited for use in the production of high-quality personalised plastic cards and fiduciary items such as security documents, passports, ID cards, access control cards, and loyalty cards commented Xaar.
The IPS C-9000 is a simple, compact, single-pass print process, producing results of 900dpi.
It uses UV curable inks, and is able to print fixed or variable data, with the capability to print in excess of 3,000 cards an hour.
It is compatible with various substrates including ABC, PVC, polycarbonate, paper, and cardboard claimed the company.
Xaar greyscale technology entails the firing of multiple droplets from the same nozzle in rapid succession, which merge to form pixels of variable size, promoting enhanced resolution.
Due to the higher apparent resolution achieved with fewer pixels, the Leopard also offers significantly increased speed in comparison with binary printing added Xaar.
Paul Morgavi, Impika's chief executive officer said: "We need to provide our customers with a solution that not only produces exceptional quality print results but is also cost-effective and speedy, for mass personalisation markets. Request a free brochure from Xaar ...
We believe that the IPS C-9000 is the first in the next generation of printing solutions for our industry, offering a quality that is unsurpassed and is so crucial to those in the ID and security markets." Zoe Nevill, European account manager for Xaar, commented: "The IPS C-9000 is not only a further example of the versatility of inkjet but it demonstrates the value of greyscale technology in printing variable data at high-speed with photo-quality results.".
