Xaar Nitrox Core Printhead - XP10060003

Xaar Nitrox Core Printhead - XP10060003 is the Core variant of Xaar’s Nitrox family, aimed primarily at oil-based inks and applications like ceramic tile decoration. Xaar positions Nitrox as a fast, wide-application printhead with 70 mm print swathe, 1000 nozzles, 360 npi native resolution, and up to 48 kHz family-level firing frequency; for the Core variant specifically, the datasheet lists up to 36 kHz, 6/12/40 pl drop sizes, and oil-based materials robustness.

Quick evaluation

If your use case is ceramics, tile decoration, or other oil-based ink jobs, the Core is the most direct fit and usually the most practical choice. If you need glass frit, soluble salts, solvent-based inks, or more demanding fluids, Xaar indicates the Pro is better suited, while the Elite targets the broadest mix of materials and the highest precision/up to 48 kHz.

Buyer decision table

What matters most

The Nitrox family emphasizes plug-and-print setup, TF Technology recirculation, AcuChp Technology, and XaarGuard/XaarDOT for uniformity, uptime, and drop control. Xaar also states the printhead can handle viscosities up to 100 cP, which matters if your ink is heavily pigmented or otherwise difficult to jet.

Practical purchase guidance

Choose XP10060003 / Nitrox Core if:

•     Your inks are oil-based.
•     Your application is ceramic/tile decoration.
•     You want a cost-appropriate, application-specific head rather than the broadest possible fluid range.

Consider Pro or Elite instead if:

•     You need glass frit or soluble salts.
•     You need UV or solvent compatibility.
•     You want the highest drop-placement precision and broader future-proofing.
