Epson has provided further details of its new PrecisionCore printheads, such as DC300-A1R and the first in Epson’s new range of printheads that support ink circulation at the nozzle level.
Epson has expanded its line-up of PrecisionCore printheads in response to an accelerated shift in the commercial and industrial sectors to digital printing. As detailed last month, three new printheads have been developed. Of these, DC300-A1R can be used either in single colour 1200dpi mode or with two colours at a 600dpi resolution. When combined with high-frequency driving technology, D3000-A1R is capable of delivering ‘outstanding’ image quality and high print speeds comparable to those of existing analogue printers.
With a 67mm print swathe, the DC300-A1R is also scalable for wide, high-quality applications such as flexible packaging, labels and décor. Print chips can be arrayed in both moving serial printhead and fixed line head configurations. A robust, industrial design means it can be safely handled without causing damage to the printhead nozzles. Nozzle level recirculation means printheads do not require regular ink ejection and head cleaning.
Paddy O’Hara, business development manager at Epson Europe, said, ‘Our new series of water-based ink, nozzle level recirculation printheads demonstrates our commitment to developing technology that contributes to low environmental impact digital printing and the acceleration of inkjet innovation.
‘The D3000-A1R builds on the quality and reliability of our industry-leading PrecisionCore technology, adding ultimate flexibility for a wide variety of industrial printing applications. The width and design of the printhead is unique within the industry, allowing for highly scalable configurations in multi-head arrays.’
