Genuine Xaar factory-original 1003 GS40 piezo printhead with 1000 nozzles and 40 pL native drop. High-laydown greyscale head with TF Technology for special effects, textured finishes and intense colour.
Product Overview
The Xaar 1003 GS40 is the ultimate High Deposit industrial piezoelectric printhead engineered for applications requiring heavy ink laydown and high-viscosity fluid coverage. Featuring 1000 Optimised Geometry nozzles spanning a 70.5 mm print swathe at 360 npi native resolution, it supports dynamic greyscale operation with native 40 pL drops (up to 5 grey levels, effective volumes 40–160 pL). Powered by TF Technology® (continuous ink recirculation) and enhanced with XaarGuard™ nozzle plate protection, the GS40 excels at jetting heavily pigmented inks, glazes, tactile effects, and thick coatings without clogging or particle settling. Fully backward compatible with earlier 1001 GS40 and 1002 GS40 series. Factory-sealed original units deliver exceptional coverage uniformity and drop placement accuracy.
