Genuine Xaar factory-original 501 GS15 O piezo printhead engineered for high-contrast coding and marking on porous and semi-porous substrates. Delivers 15–75 pL greyscale drops with PrecisionPlus architecture for industrial reliability in outer-case and secondary packaging applications.
Product Overview
The Genuine Xaar 501 GS15 O Printhead is a high-performance bulk piezoelectric drop-on-demand printhead built on Xaar’s PrecisionPlus Hybrid Side Shooter architecture. Designed specifically for oil-based and mineral-oil-free (MOF) inks in standard non-continuous recirculation applications, it features 500 individually lasered nozzles spanning a 70.5 mm print swathe at native 180 npi density. Supporting greyscale operation with drop volumes ranging from 15 to 75 pL across 6 grey levels, it provides high ink laydown, long throw distance, and sharp edge definition for barcodes, GS1 codes, and high-contrast text. Equipped with an optimized C&M nozzle guard for automated maintenance, pulsed TF Technology for on-demand nozzle priming, an integrated last-chance filter, and AcuChp technology, this head is engineered for extreme durability and continuous operation in demanding industrial outer-case packaging, coding, and marking environments.

Technical Precision & Operational Advisory
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Always wear a grounded ESD wrist strap and work on an ESD-safe surface when handling sensitive electronic parts. Piezoelectric actuators are highly vulnerable to static damage.
- Power Isolation Warning: Fully power off the equipment and disconnect main power sources before replacing parts or connecting standard electrical cables.
- Fluid Compatibility Strict Warning: This head is configured for Oil-Based and Mineral-Oil-Free (MOF) inks ONLY. Do not flush or introduce solvent, water-based, or UV-curable inks into this unit, as doing so will instantly destroy internal seals.
- Pulsed TF Maintenance Protocol: Utilize pulsed TF Technology during non-printing or idle periods to maintain instant prime and prevent pigment settling in oil-based fluids.
- Professional Installation: It is strongly recommended to have replacement performed by a certified technician following standard technical protocols.
