An Analysis of Epson I3200 Printheads: A1, E1, U1

Epson I3200 Series Printhead's Name Resolution

“I” means innovative, symbolizing Epson’s determination to break through the boundaries of technology continuously.

“3200” directly indicates its core advantage—it has 3,200 precision nozzles. This number is a pile of numbers and a double guarantee of printing accuracy and speed.

The I3200 series printheads include three models, as shown below: I3200-A1 (aqueous ink version), I3200-E1 (eco-solvent ink version), and I3200-U1 (UV ink version), corresponding to different application scenarios.

Among them, A, E, and U represent aqueous, eco-solvent, and UV, respectively, and “1” represents that these models are the first generation of products in their respective fields.

Epson I3200 Series Appearance and Structural Design

The I3200 series printhead adopts a compact appearance design and precise structure. Four pairs of 8 rows of nozzles are arranged in an orderly manner, with 400 holes in each row, for a total of 3200 nozzles. This ensures that the ink droplets are evenly distributed and the printing effect is delicate. The effective width of the nozzle is 1.3 inches, which is suitable for the printing needs of various formats.

Epson I3200 Series Printhead Technology

PrecisionCore Technology

The I3200 series printheads are equipped with Epson's unique PrecisionCore micro-thin film piezoelectric printing chip, which uses the ALLMEMS (micro-electromechanical system) manufacturing process to achieve high-precision nozzle arrangement (600 dpi/2 rows).

Epson i3200 printhead-PrecisionCore Technology

PrecisionCore technology uses precise control of thin-film piezoelectric elements to make the ejected ink droplets close to a perfect circle and accurately positioned, providing a solid foundation for high-quality printing.

Variable Droplet Technology

The I3200 series printheads support Epson's unique VSDT (variable droplet technology), which can freely control the droplet size and achieve multi-grayscale printing.

This technology significantly reduces the graininess of the picture, presents more picture details, and has smooth color transitions and high saturation, making the printed works more vivid and realistic.
