The integration of Xaar's technology in to the digital printers highlights Xaar's growing presence in the digital label printing industry, claimed the company.
Xaar said that its combination of greyscale (dynamically variable drops) and its patented Hybrid Side-Shooter platform with TF Technology is suitable for single-pass printing to produce fine details, smooth tones and readable text.
Xaar-enabled Jetrion 4000 digital label printers are available immediately for customer shipments and the company expects them to be available in production quantities by the second quarter of this year.
Dr Kenneth Stack, EFI-Jetrion's vice president and general manager, said: "We chose the Xaar 1001 head because we needed a printhead that offered the high reliability required for web applications.
