Domino picks Xaar for new outer case coders

The Xaar 502 GS15 O has been chosen as the printhead technology for the 70mm C6000+ variant of the Domino C-Series Plus piezo drop-on-demand outer case coders.

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

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 – cardboard boxes, trays and bags – for identification, traceability and graphic personalization. It is capable of printing TrueType fonts, graphics and GS1 compliant barcodes, and has a maximum print height of 70mm. In addition, it is compatible with a range of oil-based inks, including black mineral oil-free (MOF) SunJet IK822, the latest addition to Xaar’s approved ink portfolio.

The 502 GS15 O printhead utilizes Xaar’s piezoelectric actuator design, PrecisionPlus, which includes a long throw distance, and increased stability and robustness. Inclusion of an optimized nozzle guard to support automated maintenance routines makes the Xaar 502 GS15 O suitable for use in harsh, demanding coding and marking environments, Xaar said. The printhead also incorporates TF Technology, which can be run in either full through flow mode or pulsed mode. This optional mode recirculates ink behind the nozzles during non-printing periods.

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