Important Notice
To prevent costly buyer return requests, it is critical to explicitly state what this head does NOT fit:
Do not buy If your old printhead does not say PQR-256 35PL on the sticker,on the label or in the manual. It looks identical on the outside, but the internal electronics are totally different and will not work.
It does NOT fit Standard Wide-Format Graphic Printers (PQ-512 Variant). The PQR-256 will not work in printers by these popular brands: Flora (e.g., Flora LJ320P, PP2512UV), Wit-Color (e.g., Wit-Color Ultra 4000), Gongzheng (e.g., Gongzheng Storm series), JHF Vista / Leopard, DGI / Teckwin / CET Color.
It does NOT fit Different Drop-Size Configurations. Polaris 15PL Heads: Optimized for fine-detail text and high-resolution indoor graphics. Polaris 85PL Heads: Used for dense white ink laying or heavy industrial fluids (e.g., Kornit Avalanche Hexa R or Storm Hexa systems configured specifically for PQR-256 85PL variants).
