Applications
Is the Xaar 2002 right for you?
The Xaar 2002 is ideal if you need to:
The challenge
Industrial print systems must combine quality, productivity and straightforward integration
OEMs need printheads that can be installed and aligned quickly, deliver consistent output across an entire printbar and maintain reliable performance with demanding industrial fluids. Variations in drop volume, colour density or mechanical alignment can increase commissioning time, complicate printbar balancing and affect final print quality.
At the same time, manufacturers need greater flexibility to deliver high-opacity inks, coatings, special effects and functional materials without adding unnecessary passes or process complexity. The Xaar 2002 is designed to address these requirements in one proven industrial platform.
How the Xaar 2002 Series solves it
Bringing the benefits of digital manufacturing to high viscosity fluids
720npi native resolution | Delivers sharp edges, clean text and detailed patterns, supporting exceptional single-pass print quality. |
Plug-and-print integration | Drop-in alignment and tight mechanical tolerances help make installation, set-up and printhead replacement quicker and easier. |
AcuChp | Balanced actuator selection, individual chip trimming improves drop and colour uniformity across the printhead and printbar. |
TF Technology | Ink recirculates directly past the back of the nozzle, supporting instant prime, reliable start-up, excellent print quality and dependable jetting of challenging fluids. |
High Laydown Technology | Deposits very high fluid volumes in a single pass, with capability up to 240g/m² for coatings, structuring and high-build effects. |
Ultra High Viscosity Technology | Enables fluids up to 100cP to be jetted, expanding formulation options for high opacity, special effects and higher molecular weight materials. |
Sure Flow | Sure Flow helps clear and prevent nozzle blockages without removing the printhead, |
Three product variants | Xaar 2002 Plus, Premium and Advanced provide a choice of fluid compatibility, alignment performance and application capability. |
Serviceable design | Replaceable components can help recover printheads, reduce replacement costs and improve return on investment. |

Frequently asked questions...
What is the Xaar 2002 used for?
Can the Xaar 2002 be used in décor applications?
Yes, the Xaar 2002 can support digital décor printing applications such as ceramic tiles, glass, laminates, wallpaper and decorative surfaces, subject to the ink, substrate, print requirements and finishing process. It is relevant where manufacturers need consistent industrial print performance for decorative surfaces, patterns, textures or specialist effects.
Can the Xaar 2002 be used for packaging and labels?
Yes, the Xaar 2002 can be used for packaging and labels applications where consistent print quality and production reliability are required. Potential uses include containers, bottles, cans, flexible packaging, folding cartons and labels, subject to the ink, substrate, print quality, line speed and integration requirements.
How does the Xaar 2002 support glass and ceramic decoration?
The Xaar 2002 can support glass and ceramic decoration where manufacturers need to apply digital designs, effects or coatings with reliable printhead performance. These applications often require careful control of fluid compatibility, drop placement, substrate handling and downstream drying, firing or curing steps.
Can the Xaar 2002 be used in advanced manufacturing applications?
The Xaar 2002 can be used for advanced manufacturing applications such as wax printing, where inkjet is used as part of a specialist production process rather than only as a graphics technology. Suitability depends on the material, process conditions, printhead setup and the wider manufacturing workflow.
Why is the Xaar 2002 popular in industrial print systems?
The Xaar 2002 is used in industrial print systems because it can support reliable production performance across demanding décor, packaging, labels and specialist manufacturing applications. Manufacturers and OEMs should consider fluid compatibility, waveform, maintenance, substrate handling and production speed when integrating the printhead.
