Epson launches the first PrecisionCore printhead

The printhead can be used either in single color 1200dpi mode or with two colors at 600dpi resolution. With a 67mm print swathe, the DC300-A1R is easily scalable for wide, high-quality applications such as flexible packaging, labels and décor. Printheads do not require regular ink ejection and head cleaning. 

 

Epson reported that the demand for digital printing with water-based ink has risen in recent years due to a growing requirement to mitigate the environmental impact of printing. The D3000-A1R offers competitive edge to equipment manufacturers who are keen to address environmental and sustainability concerns. 

 

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.’  

 

The D3000-A1R will be available later in 2021.
