Printer Encoder Strips
Printer Encoder Strips products from JOHOPE. Confirm compatibility by printer model, part number, dimensions, connector and ink chemistry before quotation.
Encoder strips, also known as raster strips or linear encoder strips, are installed along the printhead carriage path; they provide accurate position feedback to ensure precise carriage movement.
Working together with encoder sensors and main boards, it helps control printhead positioning, printing start/end points, and inkjet timing, reducing issues such as image misalignment, banding, and ghosting. They are widely used in eco-solvent, solvent, UV, and other large-format inkjet printers.

FAQ
What does an encoder strip do?
An encoder strip, also known as a raster strip or linear encoder strip, is installed along the printhead carriage path and provides position feedback for carriage movement. Working with the encoder sensor and main board, it governs printhead positioning, printing start and end points, and inkjet timing.
Can a dirty or damaged encoder strip cause print defects?
Yes. Because the encoder strip carries the position reference the machine reads, problems with it contribute to image misalignment, banding and ghosting. Those symptoms are a reason to inspect the strip and its sensor before assuming a printhead fault.
How do I order the right encoder strip?
An encoder strip is specified by its length and its encoding resolution as well as the printer model, so all three need to be confirmed. Send JOHOPE your machine model and the specification of the strip currently fitted, and the match is reviewed before any quotation.
