Xaar is focusing on the packaging and converting sector at Ipex. It will show a new greyscale print head designed for packaging, product decoration and security print.

The new print head is claimed to offer near photographic quality, thanks to its eight greyscale levels, and is designed for printing UV curing ink. A new UV curing ink has been developed in conjunction with Sunjet for web printing onto semi-flexible plastics.

Xaar will also launch an Approved Integrator Programme. This offers support to companies looking to incorporate ink-jet technology into their conventional printing presses for packaging.

Integrators will help to bridge the gap between the components, consumables and software needed to make an ink-jet system work and the final market application.
