Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA Printhead

The QS-256/10 AAA printhead, also known as the Fujifilm Dimatix Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA printhead, is a high-performance inkjet printhead designed for industrial and commercial printing applications. It features 256 independent channels arranged in a single row of nozzles with 100 dots-per-inch spacing. The printhead can eject adjustable drops ranging from 10 to 30 picoliters in binary jetting mode or a fundamental 10-picoliter drop in grayscale mode, with resolutions up to 1200 dpi. It operates at a nominal drop velocity of 8 meters per second and supports jetting fluids in the 10 to 14 centipoise viscosity range.

Additionally, it is compatible with UV, solvent, and water-based inks, making it versatile for various printing needs. The Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA ensures precise and efficient printing with high jetting accuracy and scalable performance suitable for variable width, single-pass production inkjet printing.
