Founder Electronics launches narrow web inkjet printer

China-based Founder Electronics has launched the EagleJet C4200 digital printer, a single-pass narrow web inkjet system featuring Xaar 1001 grayscale printheads.

A full-color UV printer, the EagleJet C4200 has been developed for on-demand commercial print markets in China. Production flexibility enables duplex mono and two-color printing simultaneously, and duplex four-color printing with a tandem configuration. The precision imaging capability of the industrial-strength Xaar 1001 printhead produces print results at 1080dpi apparent resolution across the 420mm paper web width at speeds of 25 meters per minute.

The EagleJet C4200 is the latest inkjet printer developed by Founder Electronics. It follows the EagleJet H300 and EagleJet L1000 inkjet label printers launched at Drupa 2008 and already in commercial production at sites throughout China. The company continues to invest heavily in inkjet intellectual property and currently holds 26 software copyrights and hundreds of patents.

‘A great deal of research and development has gone into making the EagleJet C4200 highly cost-effective and extremely easy to use compared with competitive systems worldwide,’ said Liu Xiaokun, president of Founder Electronics. ‘It meets the market's growing need for an affordable, high-quality production system that can produce a wide range of short to medium print products very quickly. Xaar printhead technology is a key element of the design to ensure consistent and reliable performance.’

‘Founder's choice of Xaar 1001 technology is a strong endorsement of its impressive capabilities for single-pass print applications. This printhead is having a major impact on the industry and quickly becoming the printhead of choice for new industrial print, label and wide-format print applications,’ commented Phil Eaves, sales and marketing director, Xaar.
