Printhead

The Epson I3200-E1 is a 1-inch entry-level inkjet printhead with 4 colors, specifically designed for eco-solvent inks. Featuring high-speed printing, grayscale output, and a stable structure, it is ideal for mid- to high-end solvent-based printing needs in advertising, packaging, and labeling.

Technical Specs

Key Advantages

1. Engineered for Eco-Solvent Inks: Nozzle materials are corrosion-resistant, making them compatible with various solvent-based inks; compared to water-based heads (e.g., A1) or UV heads (e.g., U1), it offers better adaptability to solvent inks and longer service life.

2. High-Precision Image Output: Minimum drop size of 3pl with multi-level grayscale support; delivers fine gradients and uniform colors, suitable for high-resolution advertising prints.

3. High Nozzle Density, High-Speed Drive: Equipped with 1,200 nozzles per head for medium- to high-speed printing; supports multi-head configurations (2/4/6 heads) for flexible large-format production setups.

4. Excellent Stability for Continuous Operation: Maintains stable inkjet performance for long hours, meeting the needs of industries like signage and graphics; long maintenance cycles and low clogging rates when paired with quality inks.

Disadvantages

1. Not compatible with water-based or UV inks — strictly designed for solvent-based inks.

2. Requires high-quality eco-solvent inks — low-grade inks can corrode the head.

3. Sensitive to temperature and humidity — extreme dryness or humidity may affect print quality and ink behavior.

Applications

1. Advertising Prints — photo paper, PP self-adhesive, backlit film, and other advertising media.

2. Outdoor Signage — solvent ink’s strong weather resistance makes it suitable for outdoor displays.

3. Commercial Labels — roll-to-roll label printing and product packaging labels.

4. Flexible Packaging — compatible with PVC film, PET film, and transparent film for solvent printing.

Tips

1. Use branded eco-solvent inks and avoid mixing with water-based or UV systems.

2. Perform regular printhead cleaning to maintain nozzle performance.

3. Pair with original or stable compatible controller boards.

4. Consider adding a temperature control system to maintain ink fluidity in cold seasons.
