Printheads:
XJ128-200:
• Nozzle Count: 128 nozzles (all points addressable)
• Horizontal Resolution: 200 DPI
• Vertical Resolution: 185 DPI, Capable of printing razor sharp graphics and reliable bar codes.
• Print Speed: 140 Feet per minute (FPM) at 200 DPI.
• Maximum Print Height: 0.7 inches (17mm)
• Ink: Oil, Solvent, UV (UV types are limited in this head due to lack of temperature compensation).
• Throw distance: Optimal-1mm, Maximum-5mm
• Shock resistance: Since the Xaar printheads were originally designed for desktop and wide area format printers;
they are designed to be able to be moved very rapidly. Thus, these printheads are extremely robust, tolerate
shock and resist depriming far better than most other industrial printheads such as Trident printheads.
• Operating temperature: 35 deg. F (2C) to 105 deg. F (41C). These temperatures are designated for optimal
performance and are conservative. The printhead can actually perform fairly up to 115 Deg. F (46C).
XJ500-180
• Nozzle Count: 500 nozzles (all points addressable)
• Horizontal Resolution: 200 DPI
• Vertical Resolution: 180 DPI, Capable of printing razor sharp graphics and reliable bar codes.
• Print Speed: 150 Feet per minute (FPM) at 200 DPI.
• Maximum Print Height: 2.8 inches (70mm)
• Ink: Oil, Solvent, UV
• Throw distance: Optimal-1mm, Maximum-5mm

Ink Delivery System:
• The IDS-128 ink delivery system utilizes a 500ml disposable bag in box ink cartridge. This IDS is currently
used in conjunction with the XJ128 and XJ126 printheads. It is made of Stainless Steel and chemically inert
materials to be compatible with solvent, oil, UV, and aqueous based inks. Using this IDS, the XJ126 and XJ128
may be set up to print at almost any angle.
• Flashing red Ink Low LED.
• The IDS2-500 ink delivery system utilizes a 500ml disposable bag in box ink cartridge. The IDS2-500 can also
be fitted with a bulk feed ink delivery system called “Ultra-Tank™”. This IDS is currently used in conjunction
with the XJ500 printhead. It is made of Stainless Steel and chemically inert materials to be compatible with
solvent, oil, UV, and aqueous based inks. Using this ID, the XJ500 may be set up to print horizontally,
vertically or at 45 a degree angle.
• Flashing red Ink Low LED.
Print Module:
• The Print Module consists of the printhead, ink delivery system and printhead bracket assemble as one
assembly, ready to install. This is available in several variations.
Inks:
Types: Oil base, Solvent Base, UV Curable, Security (invisible), USDA, IR readable.
Colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Red, Blue, Green, White Opaque, Yellow Opaque, Orange
Opaque, Powder Blue Opaque.
