Epson I3200-A1 4 Color Printhead

The Epson I3200-A1 4 Color Printhead is a high-density 3200-nozzle printhead designed for aqueous/water-based inks, typically used in 4-color (CMYK) configurations with an effective print width around 33.8 mm (1.33 inches) and a nozzle pitch of 1/300 inch. It features 8 nozzle rows and can output up to four color channels, with grayscale droplet variants supporting multiple droplet sizes for tonal range. Common specifications cited include dimensions about 69.1 mm (W) × 59.4 mm (D) × 35.6 mm (H), weight roughly 82 g, and a droplet ejection performance that includes binary and grayscale levels at frequencies around 21.6–43.2 kHz.

It is commonly marketed as a genuine Epson I3200-A1 head intended for direct-to-film/DTF and related applications, with an effective print width of 33.8 mm and 3200 total nozzles distributed across 8 rows.

Epson I3200-A1 4 Color Printhead Key Information:

• Four-color capability: Designed to eject ink in up to four separate colors, enabling full-color print workflows and multi-color imaging without color-switch interruptions. This is a core design point for DTF and other textile/signage applications that use four-color configurations.​
• High print resolution: Capable of high-resolution output, commonly cited as up to 600 dpi per color, which supports detailed image reproduction and smooth color transitions. This resolution is frequently noted across product pages and manuals for the I3200-A1 family.
• 3200 nozzles total with multi-row arrangement: The printhead typically features 3200 nozzles organized across multiple rows (often shown as 8 rows with 300 npi per row in some specifications), enabling higher nozzle density and improved Color/jet stability.
• MEMS-based actuation and PrecisionCore-like technology: Built on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and thin-film piezo elements to deliver precise droplet ejection, contributing to durability, stability, and high-speed performance in industrial and commercial contexts.
• Droplet variability for quality gradation: Incorporates a droplet-size modulation capability (often referred to as variable sized or grayscale droplet technology), which enhances gradation, reduces graininess, and improves color smoothness in complex images.
• Durable construction for industrial use: Marketed as robust and reliable for continuous or high-volume printing environments, with emphasis on long-term stability and wear resistance.​
• Broad ink compatibility: Designed to work with a range of ink chemistries suitable for textiles, signage, and related applications, depending on the exact variant and printer integration. This flexibility is a recurring theme in sources discussing the I3200-A1 family.

​​​​Notes and caveats

• Specifics can vary by variant (A1, HD, etc.), and by the exact printer integration (DTF, textile, signage). Some pages distinguish between single-line 300 npi vs dual-line 600 npi configurations and may list effective print widths around 33.8 mm (1.33 inches) per color block in certain assemblies. If you have a particular sub-model or application (e.g., DTF, textile printing), I can verify the exact specs for that configuration.
• Some listings emphasize the nozzle count (3200) and the ability to support up to four colors, while others spell out details like nozzle pitch, rows, and max color resolution. Cross-referencing a specific printer model or reseller listing will yield the most precise numbers for your setup.
