The Xaar 128/40W (XP12800009) is a genuine original compact piezoelectric printhead compatible with oil-based, solvent, and dye sublimation inks — extensively used across coding & marking and wide-format graphics for over 20 years. With 128 nozzles at 360 dpi and a 40 picoliter drop, it delivers consistent, flexible inkjet output across a broad range of printer platforms. The 128/40W directly replaces the discontinued Xaar 126/35 and Xaar 126/50 heads. Every XP12800009 we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Xaar, manufactured in the United Kingdom.
