Xaar technology embellishes Nilpeter’s open house

Print Solutions

Xaar’s printheads and technologies formed part of the recent launch of Nilpeter’s new North American Technology & Educational Centre at the open house at its Cincinnati Headquarters.

The centre highlights Nilpeter’s comprehensive product portfolio including flexo, digital, and value added technologies. As part of this, Xaar’s printbar was integrated into Nilpeter’s FA-17, enabling digital varnish and foiling embellishment capabilities through High Laydown Technology.  

Industry professionals saw the digital hybrid line in operation, with live demonstrations across the day. A range of samples showed the exceptional quality and features available for high build varnish and digital foiling that make it perfect for in line value added label printing.

Xaar’s High Laydown Technology delivers very high volumes of fluid in a single pass with exact temperature control, enabling the creation of high build inks and varnishes to deliver an extensive array of tactile effects more efficiently.

With sustainability in mind, digital embellishments, when compared to screen printing, offers shorter setup times and a higher utilisation rate, resulting in small run jobs being completed faster. In addition, the ability to jet higher volumes and viscosities of fluids improves the efficiency of print processes, reducing the need for multiple passes, delivering faster print speeds and cutting energy use and costs.
