Epson I3200-E1 4 Color Printhead

The Epson I3200-E1 4 Color Printhead is a PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead designed for eco-solvent and mild solvent inks. It features 3200 nozzles arranged in 8 rows, with a nozzle pitch of 1/300 inch and a resolution of 600 dpi (300 dpi per row). This printhead supports up to 4 colors and has an effective print width of 33.8 mm (1.33 inches). It weighs approximately 82 grams and has dimensions of 69.1 mm x 59.4 mm x 35.6 mm.

The Epson I3200-E1 printhead is corrosion-resistant, encased in a resin suitable for outdoor and oil-based printing applications. It offers various droplet ejection performance modes, including binary at 5 picoliters (pl) at 43.2 kHz, 3-level grayscale with droplets of 6 and 12.5 pl at 21.6 kHz, and 4-level grayscale with droplets of 3.8, 6.2, and 9.3 pl at 21.6 kHz. The viscosity range for compatible inks is typically between 3 to 4 mPa·s. The printhead is known for stable output and is slightly more precise than traditional DX5 printheads. It is suitable for high-quality indoor and outdoor eco-solvent printing applications, such as vehicle decals, lightbox fabrics, and outdoor signage.
