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 SM-128 AA on the sticker. It looks identical on the outside, but the internal electronics are totally different and will not work.
Does NOT replace the Spectra SE-128 AA: The SE variant is a fine-detail 30 picoliter (pL) head. The SM is a medium-coverage 50 pL head.
Does NOT replace the Spectra SL-128 AA: The SL variant is a high-volume 80 picoliter (pL) head.
Not fit or replace newer-generation Spectra components, such as the Polaris PQ-512 (15 pL or 35 pL variants).
NOT fit Water-Based / Dye-Sublimation Printers
NOT fit Desktop or Commercial Low-Voltage Printers
