Kao Collins has launched kaoxbar.com, a new website for its recently released X-BAR print module and controller. This website will enable industrial printers looking to upgrade their existing equipment to schedule a live demo at Kao Collins’s headquarters in Cincinnati, OH. 

Available since November 2018, the new X-BAR print module utilizes SAMBA technology to produce excellent, high-quality images on everything from porous bond to high-gloss coated stock at speeds up to 1,000 fpm. 

Kristin Adams, Marketing Manager for Kao Collins said, “With its small footprint, the X-BAR is an ideal solution for high-speed, high-volume, single-pass applications.”

The X-BAR Universal Controller is a superior system that replaces end-of-life controllers. It has the added benefit of integrating multiple print head technologies on a single platform.

“The universal print controller not only eliminates the need for multiple controllers, it simplifies the transition to future print technologies, which results in significant cost savings over the competition,” Adams said.

To schedule a live demonstration of the X-BAR printhead, fill out the “Request A Demo” form at  kaoxbar.com, and a representative will contact you.
