Xaar 760 printhead gets SolarJet application

Xaar 760 printhead technology continues to operate in digital printing applications such as Sun Chemical's SolarJet printer, to be exhibited during Labelexpo Americas (9-11 September, Chicago).

Designed for colour and monochromatic label printing, the SolarJet will be demonstrated on booth 6123.

Introduced at Labelexpo Europe 2007, the SolarJet is Sun Chemical's latest-generation UV inkjet printer designed specifically for the growing short-run, narrow-web label market.

The SolarJet, launched at Labelexpo Americas 2008, boasts even better image quality and enhanced ease of operation.

SolarJet allows printers and converters to produce shorter print runs (40,000 labels or fewer) quickly, cost effectively and without sacrificing quality.

This is increasingly relevant to the pharmaceutical, health and beauty, industrial, electronics and FMCG markets, where printed products are updated frequently, and run lengths need to be shorter to reduce waste.

SolarJet is equipped with Xaar 760 printheads, which provide a visual resolution of 900 x 900dpi.

The press can print at a speed of up to 80 linear feet per minute and is designed to fit into conventional workflows.

The Xaar 760 printhead can operate in greyscale or binary mode, with a diverse range of inks.

Based on 'XaarDOT' , Xaar's Drop Optimization Technology, the Xaar 760 printhead delivers a choice of binary or dynamic variable drop sizes, ranging from 8pl to 40pl.

Each of the 760 nozzles is controlled independently to create a printed result with exceptionally smooth gradation and tonal range - ideal for high-quality graphics, packaging and traditional print applications.

The Xaar 760 can be used for industrial speed applications such as, primary and secondary packaging, indoor graphics and a wide range of industrial applications.
