Abstract

Xaar has deployed its Hybrid Side Shooter™ actuator technology successfully in its Xaar 1001/2 printhead. The ejection of ink from the ‘side’ of the ink channel and not the conventional ‘end’ of the ink channel has enabled it to use its patented Through-Flow technology (TF Technology™): This has transformed printing reliability and has led to the adoption of digital ink jet into single pass industrial printing; most noticeably for printing decoration of ceramic tiles. Xaar has now developed a new edge-mounted actuator architecture, which builds on the advantages of the side-shooter actuator and enables the capability to produce compact multiple row printheads and also improves manufacturing efficiency by using a ‘wafer-scale’ approach. This paper details some of the advantages of this new edge-mounted actuator architecture.
