What is the difference between the Xaar 1003 GS-6U and the GS-12U?

The Xaar 1003 GS-6U features a 6 pl drop size, making it suitable for applications requiring finer detail and image precision. The GS-12U uses a 12 pl drop size to provide higher ink laydown and faster production. Both are designed for UV ink applications, but they are different printhead variants and are not interchangeable. Always confirm your printer’s required model before ordering.
