StarFire™ SG1024/LA Printhead

The StarFire™ SG1024/LA is a compact, self-contained unit built to withstand demanding industrial textile, wide format, and commercial printing and decorating. It uses field-proven materials to deliver consistent output over a long service life with continuous ink re-circulation and two-color operation at 200 dots-per-inch. Equipped with a single replaceable metal nozzle plate that is designed to withstand abrasion and resist damage. The unit is compatible with solvent, UV-curable, and aqueous ink formulations.

Each SG1024/LA printhead has two separate ink paths, each with 512 independent channels arranged in 4 rows in a single nozzle plate for resolutions up to 200 dpi. All 1024 nozzles can be fired. We recommend changing the head cables when installing a new printhead.
