Kao Collins X-BAR and Universal Controller


Kao Collins Inc., a leading provider of inkjet solutions, announces the launch of the Kao Collins X-BAR print module and controller.

The Kao Collins X-BAR print module utilizes Samba technology to produce excellent, high-quality images on everything from porous bond to high-gloss coated stock at speeds up to 1000 fpm (300 mpm). The system can also be configured to print on other substrates like foils. With its small footprint and wide-variety of available ink types, the Kao Collins X-BAR is an ideal solution for high-speed, high-volume, single-pass applications.

The Kao Collins X-BAR controller allows customers to integrate multiple printhead technologies on a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple controllers dedicated to different printhead types. Kristin Adams, Kao Collins’ Marketing Manager, states that “Extending the useful life of existing equipment, rather than replacing it, provides our customers with an upgrade path into the future.”

The Kao Collins X-BAR will be on display at Print18 in Chicago from September 30th to October 2nd. Those unable to attend the event are invited to see a demo at the Kao Collins showroom in Cincinnati.
