Xaar 50X Series

Key advantages

500 nozzles in 70mm width

Wide 70mm print swathe for high productivity and less printhead stitching. Native resolution of 180 nozzles per inch providing flexibility for single or multi-pass print

Multiple print orientations

Prints reliably in vertical or horizontal modes, or dynamically on a robot arm

TF Technology recirculation

Xaar’s TF Technology ensures instant prime and startup as well as reliability, ease of use and excellent print quality

Flexible drop sizes

XaarDot provides different drop sizes from greyscale technology to optimise coverage and print quality

High Laydown Technology

Delivers very high volumes in single pass for coatings and structuring

Ultra High Viscosity Technology

Viscosities of up to 60cP can be jetted, for printing an increased colour gamut, high opacity and special effects or jetting a higher molecular weight materials

Print uniformity & quality

The enhanced actuator gives exception uniform drop formation delivering even colour density across the swathe combined with PrecisionPlus for unprecedented drop placement

Product customisation

Put your own logo / branding onto the printhead to ensure visibility of your brand on the print engine

208 Dynamic printing in any orientation

Large pressure window

To print reliably in any orientation, the nozzle pressure must be as stable as possible. The Xaar 50X has a very wide pressure window enabling dynamic printing in any orientation

TF Technology fluid recirculation

Xaar's unique TF Technology fluid recirculation controls the pressure in the printhead

Fast recovery

If pressure limits are exceeded and jetting stops, thanks to TF Technology, the fluid flow through the printhead ensures a fast recovery without the need to stop printing

Applications

Graphics

Vinyl

Paper

Foam board

Rigid laminate

Textiles

Outdoor & indoor signage

Point-of-sale displays

Compare printheads

2D data matrix coding
Brand graphics and logos
Expiry date, traceability and batch codes
Primary and secondary packaging, outer case bar-coding
QR codes

Other Applications:
This printhead family can also be used to print fluids used in the Advanced Manufacturing and 3D market sectors. The piezo inkjet technology used in these printheads is capable of printing fluids with a range of viscosity, reactivity and conductivity. Xaar can support you in choosing the right printhead for the fluid type and for the application vs. the performance specification and price.
