Xaar to show greyscale print head at Tecnargilla

Xaar will exhibit the 1001 greyscale print head at Tecnargilla 2008 in Rimini, Italy, 30 September to 4 October.

The 1001 printhead will be seen in action driving several digital inkjet ceramic tile printers, including the Newtech Keramagic and the Cretaprinter.

It can jet pigmented and non-pigmented ceramics inks and suspensions in a single-pass with ease and accuracy.

The total recirculation of ink within the print heads allows the use of difficult materials like ceramic pigments.

Patterns are printed in greyscale to produce clear, high resolution images.

Its modular design allows tile manufacturers to print widths of between 280mm and 1120mm.

The Xaar 1001 delivers high-quality drop formation and high drop placement accuracy, with high operational durability.

It also features Xaar's Hybrid Side Shooter (HSS) technology.

This includes Xaar's TF technology, which means that ink flows past each nozzle opening, keeping the channels primed and fully operational.

This results in lower maintenance cycles and high nozzle reliability, giving consistent high quality and high productivity.

Xaar operates an open ink policy that gives printers the flexibility to choose the suppliers that best meet their needs.

Consequently, Xaar partners with the widest range of ink manufacturers to develop high-quality ink products for use in its printheads.

At Tecnargilla, Chimigraf and Itaca will be presenting their specialist inkjet inks for ceramic applications.
