Benchmark in industrial inkjet printing
1. The ultimate balance of high speed and high precision
Speed Breakthrough: Adopting PrecisionCore micro-piezo technology, the single-head printing speed can reach 26-33 square meters/hour (in 4-pass mode), which is nearly double that of its predecessor, the DX5. Especially in the field of textile digital printing, the device equipped with 24-30 i3200-A1 printheads can achieve 1,000-1050 square meters per hour to meet the needs of high-volume production. Especially in the field of textile digital printing, the machine equipped with 24-30 i3200-A1 printheads can achieve a high output of 1000-1050 square meters per hour to meet the needs of mass production.
Precision guarantee: 3200 nozzles arranged in 600dpi resolution, with Epson's unique VSDT (variable droplet technology), can spray 2.5-12.3pl multi-level grayscale droplets, and even achieve 1200dpi photo-quality results in coated paper printing, significantly improving the fineness of the picture and the smoothness of the transition between colors.
2. All-scene ink compatibility
Multi-type adaptation: through the subdivided models (i3200-A1 aqueous, i3200-U1 UV, i3200-E1 eco-solvent) to cover almost all the mainstream ink systems, including aqueous, UV, weak solvents, thermal sublimation and so on, to support textiles, advertising spray painting, packaging and labeling and other multi-disciplinary applications. For example, i3200-U1 can realize high adhesion UV curing effect in crystal label printing.
Wide material adaptability: compatible with paper, fabrics, plastics, metals and other substrates, especially in the textile field, through repeated stacking of water-based ink to simulate the embroidery three-dimensional touch, expanding the boundaries of the digital printing process.
3. Long life and low maintenance costs
Durability design: MEMS microelectromechanical process of manufacturing thin film piezoelectric elements, tested to withstand 106 billion times the jet drive, pressure washing 1500 times without ink leakage, in the continuous production environment life of up to 1-3 years. The i3200 (8)-A1HD printhead has shown no degradation after more than a year of continuous use in Shanghai Xinhua Printing House.
Ease of maintenance: Users can replace the printheads themselves, which takes about 2.5 hours, and with specialized cleaning tools such as the Print Head Doctor 18, downtime costs are significantly reduced. Daily maintenance only requires regular cleaning of the nozzles and keeping the ink moist, reducing the cost of consumables by 40% compared with imported competitors.
4. High Reliability and Environmental Adaptability
Stability Optimization: The nano-scale ink path design reduces ink residue, and with the automatic negative pressure ink supply system, it effectively reduces the risk of clogging. In textile equipments, through the pre-heating device and tension control system, the output can be stabilized under the environment of 20-28°C and 40-60% humidity.
Performance in extreme conditions: Although a wide temperature range is not explicitly supported, the UV model (i3200-U1) achieves stable curing in environments below the standard 24°C, meeting the needs of most industrial scenarios.
5. Flexible Configuration and Cost Effectiveness
Modular Design: Supports multi-head splicing (e.g., 4-head, 8-head combination), adapts to 1.9-2.6 meter wide equipment, and is compatible with the original boards and ink systems, reducing the cost of equipment upgrades.
Cost-effective advantage: the mass production scale effect makes the price lower than DX5 and other competitors, and the domestic alternative (such as YIFANG) further compresses the cost, which is suitable for small and medium-sized intelligent transformation.
6. Technology foresight and industry empowerment
Process innovation: in digital printing through multi-gray scale output to achieve accurate reproduction of gradient color, in the field of packaging to support the white ink stacking efficiency, to promote the transformation of traditional printing to digital.
Industrial synergy: deep cooperation with ink manufacturers to optimize compatibility, such as in the textile field to jointly develop the coating stacking process, forming a complete solution from printhead to application.
