Epson I1600-U1 Printhead

The Epson I1600-U1 is a high-precision industrial inkjet printhead designed for UV ink applications, offering superior print quality, durability, and efficiency in commercial and industrial printing.

Key Features:

1. PrecisionCore Technology

   • Utilizes MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) manufacturing for ultra-precise nozzle alignment (600 npi per row).

   • Thin-film piezoelectric actuators ensure near-perfect circular ink droplets and accurate droplet placement1.

2. Grayscale Printing with VSDT (Variable-Sized Droplet Technology)

   • Supports adjustable droplet sizes (e.g., 3.8 pL, 6.2 pL, 9.3 pL, 12.5 pL) for smoother gradients and reduced graininess.

   • Enables high-resolution output (600 dpi in 2-color mode, 300 dpi in 4-color mode)12.

3. High Durability & Industrial Reliability

   • Piezoelectric actuator endurance: Over 106 billion actuations in lab tests.

   • Pressure-resistant design: Withstands 40 kPa cleaning cycles (1,500 repetitions) without leakage1.

   • Optimized for UV inks (viscosity: 5–7 mPa·s), with improved material compatibility for longer lifespan1.

4. Compact & Efficient Design

   • 1,600 nozzles (4 rows, 300 npi per row).

   • Slim form factor (69.1 × 59.4 × 35.6 mm, 80g), ideal for multi-head configurations1.

5. Applications

   • UVDTF STICKER Printing

   • Label & Packaging: High-speed UV inkjet printing for labels, barcodes, and flexible packaging.

   • Commercial Printing: Suitable for short-run, high-quality graphics28.
