• Not recommended for UV or highly corrosive liquids.

Common equipment: Eco-solvent photo printers, oil-based signage machines, solvent roll printers

How to Quickly Determine Which Nozzle You Should Choose?

• Printing on fabric / water-based ink → A1
• Glass, acrylic, PET / UV ink → U1
• Folding screen, PP paper, car stickers / solvent ink → E1

PS: Although the product models all include “i3200”, they are not fully universal. Cavity structure, drive voltage, and anti-corrosion materials differ. Choosing the wrong one can cause clogging, color shift, or even damage.
