The StarFire SG1024/MA-2C printhead is a breakout inkjet innovation for high performance printing and decorative applications. It is purpose-built for today’s demanding high-speed scanning and single-pass industrial systems designs. It is an easy to integrate, high performance, drop-on-demand printhead for two-color operation at resolutions up to 200 dpi. A robust and repairable construction makes it ideal for Textile, Wide Format, and Commercial Printing and Decorating.

Combining superior jetting performance with a high nozzle packing density in a compact, self-contained unit, the StarFire SG1024/MA-2C uses field proven materials to deliver a long service life with consistent and reliable output.

Each SG1024/MA-2C printhead has two separate ink paths each with 512 independent channels arranged in 4 rows in a single nozzle plate for resolutions up to 200 dpi. All 1024 nozzles can be fired simultaneously or individually.

Equipped with a singular, durable, collar mounted, coated metal nozzle plate to withstand abrasion and resist damage, it is removable for cleaning or replacement. The printhead has a nominal 30 picoliter drop size with jetting fluids in the 8 to 20 centipoise range. When combined with VersaDrop™ jetting technology, the SG1024/MA-2C can produce drop sizes up to 80 picoliters and full grayscale without penalty to productivity.
