Epson S800-A1 Printhead

Epson’s PrecisionCore Technology combines MEMS manufacturing and thin film piezo technology to create high-precision, high-density nozzles for compact, high-speed, and high-quality print heads. Key features include:

1. High Precision and Image Quality: Unique MEMS nozzles and ink flow paths ensure accurate, consistent placement of perfectly round ink droplets.
2. Greyscale Support: Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) enables smooth graduations by ejecting droplets of varying volumes.
3. Compact Design: High productivity in a small form factor allows for more compact device designs.
4. Curved Surface Printing: The S800 printhead’s design supports printing on curved or complex surfaces.
5. High Durability: Proven durability and extended service life, as demonstrated in Epson’s industrial printers.
6. Wide Ink Compatibility: Four print head types (U1, U3, A1, S1) support a variety of inks, including UV, water-based, and strong solvents, making them suitable for diverse industrial applications.

The PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead features compact dimensions (58.1 x 8.3 x 33.8 mm) and a lightweight design (13 g or 11 g). Key specifications include:

• Nozzle Configuration: 800 nozzles arranged in 2 rows with a resolution of 300 npi per row (600 npi total).
• Print Capabilities: Supports 1 color ink with an effective print width of 33.8 mm (1.33 inches) and 4 levels of greyscale.
• Droplet Ejection: Offers various droplet sizes and frequencies, with a viscosity range of 3.2 to 11.0 mPa·s depending on the model.
• Ink Recirculation: Common channel recirculation is available in some models.
• Design Features: Includes a reference hole for positioning but lacks an internal heater.

Specifications are subject to change, and the design supports versatile greyscale and droplet size combinations.
