Overview
The Xaar 2001+ GS12C is the high-resolution ceramic platform behind many of the world’s tile decorators: 2,000 nozzles in four rows give 720 npi in single-colour bars, and the 12–84 pL greyscale range covers fine line work through to solid glaze. This used unit carries part number XP20010002, matching the current production head, and was removed from a working machine before refurbishment.
Condition & Testing
The head is inspected, cleaned and flushed with the correct ceramic-ink cleaning fluid, then jet-tested and electrically verified. A test print produced with this head is photographed in the listing. Nozzle dropout and channel cleanliness are checked against the part’s specification before it is packed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same part as a new Xaar 2001+ GS12C?
Yes — XP20010002 is the current production part number. The difference is condition and price, not the specification.
What does the test print show?
The listing includes a print produced with this head: all four rows firing, no visible dropout at the working greyscale levels.
Why buy used instead of new?
A tested second-hand GS12C typically costs 40–60% less than a new head and gets an older press back to production the same week.
