Faster, Better, Smarter Printing
Meet X-BAR: Quality Foundation Drives ROI
The X-BAR print module integrates with legacy printers for inline variable data printing, offering a high throughput of up to 1,000 feet per minute and 1,200 dpi resolution. Extended run times, fast starts, and reduced ink consumption drive the bottom-line results from the investment.
“Within the first year, we saved approximately $1 million in refurbishment costs.”
– Mickey Baraban, Digital Imaging Manager
Maintenance
The End of Refurbishment Costs
X-BAR eliminates costly and frequent refurbishment expenses associated with aging Prosper and Versamark print modules. The Samba MEMS-based X-BAR print module offers a reliable, maintenance-free digital printing system that significantly reduces long-term operational costs.
- More responsive and reliable printheads
- Withstands demanding conditions and high usage
- Prevents overheating and thermal degradation
Uptime
Print Production Keeps Running
Get faster starts and minimize production disruptions when you replace existing print modules or add new hybrid capabilities with X-BAR print modules, increasing productivity, cost savings, and overall efficiency for production managers.
- Zero charge shorts
- Reduces streaking issues
- Faster restarts
Less waste
Consistent, Reliable Results
X-BAR technology delivers superior print quality by ensuring consistent ink droplet formation, which reduces print defects, waste, and the need for reprints or chargebacks, helping you boost customer satisfaction.
- Native Drop Size: 2.4 pL or 3.5 pL
- Maximum Drop Size: 13 pL
Ink Management
Reduces Consumables Costs
The advanced ink recirculation system of X-BAR minimizes ink consumption while maximizing output. The technology ensures continuous ink flow, preventing settling or drying within printheads.
