Guangzhou Xucheng Electronic Technology (Xucheng) has become the first OEM partner to develop, and launch, wide-format inkjet printers based on the Xaar 1201 Thin Film piezo printhead announced at Drupa 2016.
Xucheng, under the brand name Xu Li, has produced four wide-format, roll-to-roll eco-solvent printers with the Xaar 1201 and has now demonstrated two models ? the X7-3207 and X7-2007 ? for the first time at ISE in Guangzhau, China.
“Xucheng has moved quickly to take advantage of the new printhead and, in addition to their new eco-solvent printers, the company plans to introduce aqueous models using the Xaar 1201 in the future,” said Bob Bobertz, director of sales, Asia.
“Xaar already dominates the coding and marking and ceramic tile inkjet printing markets and I am certain that with the Xaar 1201 we are entering a new era in the graphics industry. Xucheng is very proud to be part of this,” added James Zhao, general manager of Xucheng.
The Xaar 1201 is capable of handling aqueous and eco-solvent inks. Designed for easy integration by printer manufacturers, the Xaar 1201 features 1280 nozzles jetting variable drop sizes to produce high quality graphics on a wide range of substrates at an apparent resolution of up to 1440dpi.
