Xaar TF Technology — What It Means
Xaar’s Through-Flow (TF) Technology continuously recirculates ink through the printhead during printing and idle periods. This prevents ink settling and pigment sedimentation, reduces nozzle clogging, and allows the use of high-viscosity inks and fluids that conventional printheads cannot handle. For industrial UV applications this translates to more consistent output, less maintenance downtime, and longer printhead service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Xaar 1003 GS-6U and GS-12U?
The GS-6U has a 6 picolitre drop size designed for finer detail UV applications. The GS-12U has a 12 picolitre drop for higher-speed production with greater ink laydown. Both are UV variants and are not interchangeable. Always verify which variant your printer requires before ordering.
What is the difference between GS-12U and GS-12C?
The GS-12U uses UV-curable inks for wide-format UV printing applications. The GS-12C is designed for ceramic inks used in ceramic tile decoration. Both have a 12 picolitre drop size but are not interchangeable — ink chemistry and printer compatibility differ completely.
