Xaar is set to launch its Ultra High Viscosity capability at Inprint 2019 in Munich.
The company says that its TF and High Laydown Technologies mean that fluid as viscous as 100cP can now be jetted and that visitors to its stand will get the chance to learn more about the potential applications for this ‘significant development in inkjet printing.’
The ability to lay down fluids with higher particle loading and particle sizes offers advantages such as an increased colour gamut, opacity and special effects. In addition, jetting higher molecular weight photopolymers for advanced manufacturing and 3D printing applications is made possible.
The launch follows hot on the heels of October’s appointment of John Mills as CEO and is the first part of Xaar’s plan to focus the printhead business on its Bulk platform, including its Xaar 2001+ printhead and High Laydown Technology.
‘I am excited to join Xaar as CEO and to lead the company on its next phase of development,’ Mr Mills commented. ‘Xaar has almost 30 years of experience in inkjet, a significant IP portfolio and a strong technology roadmap. We believe that focusing the business on the sizeable market opportunities available will ensure that Xaar is best positioned to deliver the service, quality and products our global customers demand.
‘The announcement of our Ultra High Viscosity capability across our printhead platform is therefore an exciting moment for the business and clearly demonstrates the continued relevance of our technology in leading inkjet printing across the latest market applications.’
