Epson S3200-U1 Printhead

The Epson S3200-U1 printhead is a PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead designed for UV and eco-solvent inks. It features 3200 nozzles arranged in 8 lines with 400 nozzles per line, delivering a dual-row nozzle resolution of 600 dpi (300 dpi per row). The printhead has dimensions of 150.4 x 30 x 52 mm and weighs about 235 grams. It provides an effective print width of 120.2 mm (4.73 inches) and operates with a jetting frequency of up to 48 kHz, capable of ejecting droplets sized 3.2, 5, or 10 picoliters. The nozzle pitch is 1/300 inch with 2 nozzle rows, supporting up to 2 color inks. It incorporates an ink circulation mechanism for stable ink flow and improved reliability and durability. The S3200-U1 is suitable for high quality and high productivity printing in industrial and commercial applications, especially those needing UV or eco-solvent inks.

It is recommended to replace the head cables when installing a new S3200-U1 printhead to ensure proper compatibility and function. The printhead is especially fitting for small-format scanning printing equipment and single-pass printing with some considerations for color density due to nozzle configuration.
