Best in class print quality

The Xaar 1201 delivers a high print quality that is superior to other printheads in its class.

- 8 shades of grey at 600npi gives an apparent resolution of over 1440dpi

- Two printheads can be mounted in-line to create an economical 4-colour printer with 600npi native resolution per colour. 

- Alternatively, with just four printheads, OEMs can design printers with 1200npi x 1200npi native resolution.

- The small 2.5 pL drop size provides the best combination of throughput and print quality for a range of applications. Variable drop size allows small drops for ultra-close viewing and large drops for long distance viewing.

Highly versatile

The Xaar 1201 incorporates a number of features that make it an extremely versatile printhead for banners and point of sale (POS) applications.

- Capable of printing 1, 2 or 4 colours per printhead

- Can be configured to print 4 colours at 300npi or 2 colours at 600npi, depending on the price point and end user profile that OEMs wish to target 

- Two pairs of interleaved rows mean that OEMs have a choice of native resolution - the default resolution when running 4 colours is 300npi. Running 2 colours per printhead takes advantage of the pre-alignment of the nozzle row pairs to achieve 600npi per colour.

- The Xaar 1201 can jet solvent or aqueous inks. This means it can be used to print on a range of substrates including photo paper, vinyl, canvas and textiles.
