The challenge
Industrial inkjet needs to deliver speed, quality and versatility at the same time
Industrial manufacturers increasingly need digital printing systems that can do more than print standard inks onto standard substrates. They need to process more demanding fluids, achieve stronger visual and functional effects, improve productivity and maintain consistent output in challenging production environments.
For OEMs and manufacturers, this creates pressure to balance throughput, image quality, reliability and application flexibility. Conventional printhead technologies can struggle when fluid viscosity, particle loading, orientation, laydown requirement or production speed increases. Xaar Nitrox is designed to remove
those compromises.
How the Xaar Aquinox solves it
Bringing industrial reliability to aqueous printing
High-speed printing | With printing at up to 48kHz, Xaar Nitrox supports demanding industrial applications where productivity and throughput are critical. |

Frequently asked questions...
What is the Xaar Nitrox used for?
How does the Xaar Nitrox support décor and surface decoration applications?
The Xaar Nitrox can support décor and surface decoration applications such as ceramic tiles, glass, laminates, product decoration and decorative graphics. It can help manufacturers jet inks, coatings or specialist fluids onto different surfaces where design flexibility, repeatability and production performance are important.
Can the Xaar Nitrox be used for labelling and packaging?
The Xaar Nitrox can be used in labelling and packaging applications where high-speed digital printing, variable information, product decoration or specialist effects are required. It can support production flexibility across labels, packaging materials and product printing, subject to the ink, substrate, print quality and line speed requirements.
How does the Xaar Nitrox support functional fluid printing?
The Xaar Nitrox can support functional fluid printing where inkjet is used to deposit specialist fluids, coatings or materials rather than only graphic inks. This can be relevant in applications such as PCB printing, product functionality, advanced manufacturing and high-value industrial surface treatment.
Can the Xaar Nitrox be used for additive manufacturing and PCB printing?
The Xaar Nitrox can be used for additive manufacturing and PCB printing where precise digital deposition of fluids or materials is required. In these applications, performance depends on the material being jetted, drop control, substrate or build process, waveform development and the wider production system.
Why is the Xaar Nitrox suited to high viscosity applications?
The Xaar Nitrox is designed to support a broad application window and a wide range of fluids, including higher viscosity formulations where compatible with the printhead and process. Xaar’s Ultra High Viscosity Technology helps manufacturers work with fluids and higher molecular weight materials that deliver stronger colours, higher opacity, functional properties, coatings or textured effects across applications such as décor, packaging, functional fluids and advanced manufacturing.
