Printhead

The printhead is a consumable that wears out or becomes damaged over time and needs to be replaced. We offer a range of bestselling and affordable new printheads for popular DTF and UV printers.​


Core Technology

DTF Epson Printhead PrecisionCore Technology 

PrecisionCore Technology

Using full MEMS manufacturing and thin-film piezoelectric elements, we achieve high precision and density (600 npi/2 rows of nozzles). This supports compact, high-speed, high-quality, and high-definition image printing. Epson's unique MEMS nozzle and ink flow channel design ensure that round ink droplets are ejected accurately and consistently in place. 

DTF Epson Printhead Support for Grayscale

Support for Grayscale 

Epson's unique variable size droplet technology (VSDT) creates smooth gradients. It does this by freely controlling the ink droplet size.

Why Is Print Head So Important?

The print head is the core component of the printer and the only channel for ink output. Its performance directly determines the printing quality.

The important role of the print head is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Ink Droplet Formation and Injection: The print head uses a precise mechanical system and electronic control. It injects ink onto the medium in exact amounts and speeds to form tiny droplets. The size, shape and injection speed of the ink droplets directly affect the clarity, fineness and color reproduction of the printed image.

2. Resolution: The nozzle density on the print head determines the resolution of the printer. The higher the nozzle density, the more ink droplets can be injected per inch, and the finer the printed image.

3. Printing Speed: The injection frequency and number of nozzles of the print head determine the printing speed. The higher the injection frequency and the more nozzles, the faster the printing speed.

4. Printing Accuracy: The nozzle arrangement and control accuracy of the print head determine the printing accuracy. The more precise the nozzle arrangement and the higher the control accuracy, the clearer the printed image and the smoother the lines.

5. Ink Compatibility: Different print heads have different requirements for ink viscosity, surface tension and other characteristics.

FAQs

Move the trolley to the designated location every day. Use a clean, non-woven cloth with a special cleaning fluid to gently wipe the surface and surroundings of the nozzle. Note that the nozzle surface is the most important and fragile part. Please clean it carefully.
Check the nozzle mirror and surroundings for debris. Clean them every week. Use a cotton swab, dipped in special cleaning fluid, to clean the ink residue around the nozzle.

Under normal use: 1-3 years (related to the frequency of use and maintenance habits)

The print head should be repeatedly rinsed with cleaning fluid to clean the internal ink before use. If there is still an abnormality, please contact our technical team.

Yes, Epson print heads are compatible with all our printing equipment.

  1. Print quality is reduced: If you see irregular streaks, blur, or missing colors in the print, the print head may be clogged or damaged. It may need replacement.
  2. Printing speed is slowed down: If the print speed is much slower and the paper and driver are normal, the print head may need replacing.
  3. Repeated cleaning of the print head is ineffective: If the print quality does not improve after several cleanings, the print head may be clogged or damaged. It cannot be repaired by cleaning.
  4. Lifespan: Each print head has its expected lifespan. Check the printer's manual or the manufacturer's advice. It will show the print head's life limit. If the print head is close to or exceeds its expected lifespan, preventive replacement may be a wise choice.
