Xaar 2001+ GS40C Printhead

Xaar 2001+ GS40C Printhead ceramic range, built for strong special effects and heavy ink coverage rather than the finest detail. It uses oil-based ink, has 2,000 active nozzles, a 70.5 mm swathe, and supports up to 78 g/m2 laydown at 25 m/min and 39 g/m2 at 50 m/min.

Best fit

Choose the GS40C if your priority is maximum ink deposition, bold decorative effects, and faster production with fewer passes. Xaar positions it as the variant that “jets the highest laydown for special effects,” while still supporting one-color 720 dpi or two-color 360 dpi operation.

Buyer comparison

Quick purchasing decision

•     Buy GS40C if you want maximum coverage, textured or high-impact ceramic effects, and can accept lower detail flexibility.
•     Prefer GS12C if you want a middle ground between image quality and ink laydown.
•     Prefer GS6C if your focus is the finest detail and lighter ink use.

What to verify before ordering

•     Confirm whether your system is configured for 1 or 2 fluid paths.
•     Check ink compatibility, since the GS40C is specified for oil-based ink in the source data.
•     Verify whether your target output needs higher laydown or better detail, because GS40C trades some grayscale/detail flexibility for stronger coverage.
