Epson has introduced a newlineup of PrecisionCore printheads in response to an accelerated shift in the commercial and industrial sectors to digital printing, which produces less waste and offers a reduced environmental impact.
The three new printheads, includethe , the series' first product to support ink circulation at the nozzle level.
The new printheads will be released in the second half of the 2021 fiscal year (ending March 2022). The lineup of inkjet heads now comprises five series, thus further expanding potential applications in digital printing.
Ink is circulated at the nozzle level to prevent potential issues caused by the evaporation of moisture near the nozzles. Circulation also facilitates stable printing and increases the degree of freedom in the engineering of devices and ink. With 1200-dpi resolution and high-frequency driving, these printheads enable digital printers to deliver image quality and print speeds comparable to those of existing analog printers.There is no need to adjust the position of heads in multi-head arrays. This significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to assemble and replace the heads.
The S3200-A3 uses the same 24 kHz frequency as the existing S3200-A1 yet produces droplets that are 1.4 times larger. It can deliver high print quality at high speeds even when the distance between the head and media is large, such as when printing on textiles and cardboard.
The third in the series is the I3200(8)-A1HD with up to 1200 nozzles per inch (when using two colors), and has a higher nozzle resolution than the existing I3200(4)-A1, enabling it to deliver high-definition images in a compact size without sacrificing the characteristic usability of the series.This head is suitable for both high-speed, single-pass printing as well as multi-pass printing.
