A benchmark solution for the printing industry
1. High efficiency brought about by technological innovation
The Epson 4720 print head has achieved a major breakthrough in technology. Its internal structure is sophisticated and complex, with eight rows of nozzles, each row precisely set with 400 nozzles, for a total of 3,200 nozzles in the entire print head. Compared to the Epson fifth-generation printhead, which has only 1,440 nozzles, the advantage of the 4720 printhead is evident. The significant increase in nozzle count enables the printhead to eject more ink droplets per unit of time, laying a solid foundation for high-speed printing. For example, in commercial printing scenarios requiring large-scale output, the 4720 printhead can complete tasks at a faster speed, significantly improving work efficiency.
Additionally, the 4720 printhead's effective print width reaches 1.3 inches, representing at least a 30% increase in width compared to Epson's previously released fifth-generation and seventh-generation printheads, matching the width of Epson's 5113 printhead. The wider printing width allows for larger areas to be covered in a single pass when printing large-format images or documents, reducing the number of back-and-forth scans and further accelerating the printing process. For example, in the advertising printing industry, when printing large posters, the 4720 printhead leverages its wide-format advantage to complete image output more quickly, meeting customers' demands for fast delivery.
In practical applications, digital inkjet machines equipped with the 4720 printhead can achieve 3PASS high-speed printing mode. The printing speed of a single-printhead machine can easily reach 30m²/h, and with a dual-printhead configuration, the maximum speed can even surge to 80㎡/h. Such printing speeds are leading among similar printhead products, significantly enhancing production efficiency and creating greater economic benefits for businesses.
II. High-precision reproduction of every detail
In addition to its speed advantages, the Epson 4720 printhead also excels in printing precision. It employs advanced TFP thin-film piezoelectric technology, which precisely controls the volume and position of ink droplets. The smallest ink droplet size reaches 2.5PL, and through fine-tuning of droplet size, it achieves 2.5PL variable-dot printing. This technology enables the printhead to highly reproduce color and detail during printing, producing exceptionally smooth and perfect output with print precision reaching the high-definition digital photo level of 3200dpi.
Whether printing high-precision images such as artworks or high-definition photos, or documents with stringent requirements for text edge clarity, the 4720 printhead can handle them with ease. When printing photos, subtle details such as the texture of human skin, the fineness of hair strands, and the veins of leaves in landscape photos are clearly and accurately reproduced, making the printed photos as lifelike as the original images. In terms of document printing, text edges are sharp and clear with no jagged edges, and even small font sizes are easily readable, providing users with a high-quality reading experience.
3. Wide ink compatibility
Ink compatibility is a key indicator of printhead performance, and the Epson 4720 printhead excels in this area. It is a corrosion-resistant printhead that is compatible with nearly all types of ink available on the market, including water-based, oil-based, solvent-based, UV, coating, and sublimation inks. This feature significantly expands its application scope, enabling the 4720 printhead to be used for a wide range of printing tasks beyond a single specific type.
In the UV printing field, UV inks impose extremely stringent requirements on printheads, yet the 4720 printhead not only stabilizes compatibility with UV inks but also delivers stunning print results. Images printed with UV inks exhibit a sculptural wash effect, with a tactile texture that feels real to the touch, and 3D effects are perfectly rendered, adding a unique artistic charm to the product. In sublimation printing, the 4720 printhead's speed and precision rival those of the Epson 5113 printhead, ensuring vibrant colors and natural transitions, meeting users' demands for high-quality sublimation printing. Whether it's printing intricate patterns on fabrics in the textile dyeing industry or creating vibrant logos on various materials in the advertising production industry, the 4720 printhead offers superior printing solutions thanks to its broad ink compatibility.
4. Convenience and Cost-Effectiveness Advantages
From the perspective of ease of use, the original Epson 4720 printhead is designed with user needs in mind. Its back has been carefully improved, making it more convenient to use external ink cartridges compared to the Epson 5113 printhead. The design of external ink cartridges simplifies ink replacement operations, allowing users to refill ink without complex steps, reducing the risk of damage to the printhead caused by improper ink replacement, and improving work continuity.
In terms of price, the 4720 printhead offers exceptional value for money. Currently, its market price is significantly lower than that of the overpriced Epson fifth-generation printhead and 5113 printhead. However, in terms of key performance metrics such as print speed, precision, and ink compatibility, the 4720 printhead does not fall short of these models. For businesses and individual users with limited budgets but seeking high-performance printing equipment, the 4720 printhead is undoubtedly an extremely attractive option. Users can achieve outstanding print quality and efficient printing experiences at a relatively low cost, significantly reducing equipment procurement and usage costs.
