Inkjet printing is increasingly viewed as a potential successor to traditional offset printing within the printing industry.
As the heart of an inkjet printer, the inkjet printhead plays a crucial role—its performance has a direct impact on the printer’s overall efficiency and output quality.
Epson Inkjet Printhead: Micro-piezoelectric technology, precise positioning, high-speed printing
Technical advantages
Utilizing micro-piezo printhead technology, the Epson printhead delivers precise control over ink droplet shape and variable dot sizes from each nozzle. Thus, it ensures exceptional placement accuracy and enables high-speed printing performance.
Up to 50,000 ink droplets can be quickly ejected per second, and the ink drop shape is close to a perfect sphere, ensuring straight-line ejection and precise landing, thus ensuring high stability and consistency of printing quality.
Application Cases
i3200-A1 printhead: has 3,200 nozzles, supports 4 water-based ink channels and variable ink drop technology, suitable for high-speed and stable printing needs. Widely used in large-scale printing machines and advertising production fields.
i1600-A1 printhead: has 1,600 nozzles, designed for small DTF printers, meeting personalized and small-batch printing needs.
F1080 printhead: provides 6-channel printing, usually used in small desktop DTF printers, suitable for fine printing of textiles, leather, and other materials.
Kyocera Inkjet Printhead: Constant temperature system, high-quality output, large-scale production
Technical advantages
The constant temperature system ensures that the printhead maintains a stable temperature during long-term operation, thereby avoiding fluctuations in printing quality caused by temperature changes.
At the same time, the Kyocera printhead also has variable dot technology, which can arbitrarily control the size of the ink droplets ejected, making the printed pattern more layered and more detailed.
Application case
The printing machine equipped with 64 industrial Kyocera printheads can print 850 meters per hour, with a daily production capacity of up to 20,000 meters, suitable for large-scale production in large printing and dyeing plants.
Konica Minolta Inkjet Printhead: Good durability, high-precision printing, and wide application
Technical advantages
Konica Minolta printheads are known for their excellent durability and high-precision printing capabilities. In textile digital printing industrial machines, Konica Minolta printheads have been widely used. Its high printing accuracy can meet the needs of high-quality printing, and it has good ink adaptability and is suitable for a variety of ink types.
Application case
The Konica 512i water-based printhead is widely used in digital flag printers and similar equipment, delivering reliable performance for large-format, high-resolution printing tasks like flags and banners. In textile digital printing and advertising production, Konica Minolta printheads have become a top choice for many businesses due to their precision and efficiency.
Starfire Inkjet Printhead: detachable design, efficient maintenance, stable printing
Technical advantages
The detachable design allows for easy disassembly for cleaning or replacement even if a module has problems during use, thereby maximizing the value of the printhead.
In addition, the Starfire printhead also has different picoliters of ink droplets. Large picoliters of ink droplets are more stable when printed on the medium, and the printhead can be raised to about 1 cm, avoiding scratches between the printhead and the fabric and ink flying.
Xaar: TF continuous ink supply, high-speed printing, strong compatibility
Technical advantages
Xaar printheads use a unique TF continuous ink supply patented technology, which can double the printing speed while providing a very high level of machine uptime.
Xaar electronic printheads also have built-in filters, built-in electronic devices and other functions, which can filter ink impurities, protect printheads, control and adjust temperature, etc., which is more conducive to ink jetting and ink compatibility.
Application case
Xaar printheads have been widely used in packaging printing and single-sheet printing of display images with fine requirements. Its high-speed printing and stable print quality make Xaar printheads the first choice for many packaging and printing companies.
Ricoh: Stainless steel structure, corrosion resistance, strong adaptability to high-viscosity inks
Technical advantages
Ricoh printheads are made of stainless steel, with a sturdy and durable structure that can resist corrosion from a variety of inks, thus ensuring long-term stable operation. At the same time, Ricoh printheads also have built-in heaters, allowing the printheads to handle high-viscosity inks, thereby broadening the application range of inks.
