Xaar 501 GS8 UR Printhead

Reach higher levels of performance in Wide-Format Graphics (WFG) with the Xaar 501 GS8 printhead. Whether printing large exterior banners or indoor point-of-sale material, this premium printhead delivers exceptional print quality, excellent reliability and high production up-time.

The unique PrecisionPlus architecture of the Xaar 501 GS8 builds on Xaar’s incredibly successful Hybrid Side Shooter architecture, proven in the market-leading Xaar 1003 printhead. This new architecture optimises the actuator performance giving more uniform drop formation and stability across the print swathe and therefore exceptional print quality for stunning graphics.

Print service providers will appreciate the even, flat tints and sharp text achievable with the Xaar 501 GS8. For OEMs the remarkable uniform print swathe allows printheads to be mounted together easily. This, along with a combination of innovative features, ensures trouble-free integration, fast time-to-market and short servicing times.
