Xaar is pleased to announce the introduction of the XJ128/360 Plus, an exciting new 360dpi resolution printhead, developed to suit the diverse needs of the indoor and outdoor wide format graphic arts markets. Designed for compatibility with a range of ink types, the new XJ128/360 Plus presents real opportunities for both existing and new OEM customers to expand their businesses into high quality wide format graphics markets.

Max Shone, Xaar’s printhead product manager explains: “The consistent hardware design inherent in the XJ128/360 Plus means it is possible for Xaar OEMs to upgrade existing model lines with relative ease, as well as to develop new machines specifically around the head. In this sense, it helps our customers to bring new, indoor and outdoor wide format graphics solutions to market quickly, reducing the ‘time to market’ costs often associated with the development of new products.”

“The flexibility of this 360dpi printhead is key to this it’s success – it means that print shops can now use one machine to produce a range of large format marketing materials for both indoor and outdoor use. For example one job might involve printing durable, light-fast outdoor billboard posters, while the next may be indoor point-of-sale material.”

Its winning combination of high performance and a simple electronic interface enabling straightforward integration, makes the XJ128/360 Plus an obvious choice for wide-format OEMs. And as with other Xaar products, the XJ128/360 Plus has a compact footprint, and incorporates easy-to-use features for mounting and installing.

Max Shone comments: “Flexibility, ease of integration and swift time-to-market are key factors for our customers in the wide format graphics market. Companies currently supplying colour printed applications for the wide format market will now have the opportunity to offer higher resolution and quality.
