IndPrint

The Xaar 502 GS15 O printhead has been chosen as the technology for the 70 mm C6000+ variant of the Domino C-Series Plus piezo drop on-demand outer case coders. The printhead incorporates PrecisionPlus and TF Technology innovations, and provides OEMs with a fast, reliable, and high quality solution perfect for the challenges of coding and marking.

The largest variant in the Domino C-Series Plus range, the C6000+ is a high resolution, large character printer used to mark porous and semi-porous substrates – for example, cardboard boxes, trays, and bags – for identification, traceability, and graphic personalisation. It is capable of printing TrueType fonts, graphics, and GS1 compliant barcodes, and provides a maximum print height of 70 mm, making it ideal for direct coding onto outer case packaging.

The Xaar 502 GS15 O printhead offers highly accurate drop placement, and utilises Xaar’s piezoelectric actuator design, PrecisionPlus, the benefits of which include a long throw distance and increased stability and robustness. With its optimised nozzle guard to support automated maintenance routines, the 502 GS15 O is ideal for use in harsh, demanding coding and marking environments.

The TF Technology can be run in either full through flow mode or pulsed mode. This optional mode recirculates ink behind the nozzles during non printing periods, ensuring maximum reliability and performance, high energy efficiency, and printhead lifespan.

‘Our customers look for consistently high quality codes, reliable performance, and high uptime,’ said Andy Barrett, Domino Printing Services. ‘For our C6000+ printer, the new Xaar 502 printhead delivers on all accounts.’
