Applications

Versatile printing for graphics, coding and industrial applications

Designed for OEMs and print providers that need quality, uptime and integration flexibility

From banners, signage and point-of-sale materials to packaging, codes, logos and direct-to-shape printing, the Xaar 50X Series provides a flexible platform for wide-format graphics and industrial printing. Xaar 501 variants support graphics applications, while Xaar 502 variants extend the platform into coding and marking and other industrial uses.

Is the Xaar 50X Series right for you?

The Xaar 50X Series ideal if you need to:

Deliver smooth tints, graduations, sharp text and excellent edge definition

Achieve consistent drop formation and even density across a 70mm print swathe

Print graphics, text, barcodes and codes across flat or shaped products

Use flexible drop sizes from 8pL up to 75pL, depending on the selected variant

Access up to six grey levels for enhanced resolution, subtle graphics and productivity

Integrate multiple printheads easily using a uniform print swathe and compact design

Choose between oil, UV and solvent fluid compatibility across the Xaar 501 and Xaar 502 variants

Use selected variants with TF Technology, Ultra High Viscosity Technology and SureFlow self-cleaning

The challenge

Wide-format and industrial printing demand high quality without sacrificing uptime

Print providers and OEMs need to reproduce smooth graphics, sharp text and readable codes consistently, while maintaining reliable production in demanding environments. Variation in drop formation, velocity or placement can create visible density differences and make multi-head integration more difficult.

Applications can also require different fluids, drop sizes, throw distances and print orientations. A printhead platform must therefore provide the right balance of quality, robustness and configuration flexibility without adding unnecessary integration or servicing complexity.

How the Xaar 50X Series solves it

Precision, reliability and flexibility in one compact platform

PrecisionPlus architecture

Optimises actuator performance to deliver more uniform drop formation, improved velocity stability and precise drop placement across the print swathe.

Exceptional print quality

Provides smooth tints and graduations, strong edge definition and consistent reproduction of text, graphics and barcodes.

500 individually lasered nozzles

Supports accurate drop placement and consistent print quality across the 70.5mm print swathe.

Flexible drop capability

Offers fine drops from 8pL and larger drops up to 75pL, with up to six grey levels depending on the selected variant.

Industrial reliability

Engineered for demanding production environments, supporting consistent output and high production uptime.

Optional TF Technology

Selected recirculating variants keep fluid moving to help remove particles and air bubbles, prevent sedimentation and improve reliability with challenging inks.

High Laydown Technology

Provides higher fluid volumes for applications requiring stronger coverage, coatings or structured effects.

Variant flexibility

Xaar 501 and Xaar 502 configurations provide choices for wide-format graphics, coding and marking, fluid type, drop size, nozzle protection and recirculation.

Easy integration and servicing

A uniform swathe allows printheads to be mounted together more easily, supporting trouble-free integration, faster time-to-market and shorter servicing times.

Key benefits of inkjet printing with Xaar 50X...

Improve print quality

PrecisionPlus architecture, individually lasered nozzles and flexible greyscale capability support smooth tones, sharp detail and consistent density.

Protect production uptime

The robust industrial design and optional fluid recirculation features help maintain dependable operation in demanding environments.

Expand application range

A choice of Xaar 501 and Xaar 502 variants supports wide-format graphics, signage, packaging, coding and marking, and direct-to-shape printing.

Increase design flexibility

Flexible drop sizes and grey levels help balance fine detail, coverage and productivity for different print requirements.

Simplify integration

The compact 70mm swathe and uniform output make it easier to mount multiple printheads and achieve consistent results across the print width.

Print challenging fluids

Selected variants combine TF Technology and Ultra High Viscosity compatibility to support heavily pigmented and higher-viscosity fluids.

Reduce service disruption

Straightforward integration and short servicing times help OEMs and print providers return equipment to production quickly.

Choose proven architecture

The Xaar 50X Series builds on Xaar’s Hybrid Side Shooter architecture and industrial inkjet expertise.
