Epson I1600-A1 Printhead Product Features
The Epson I1600-A1 printhead is manufactured with PrecisionCore MEMS technology, using thin-film piezo elements to achieve high-density nozzle arrays (600 npi × 2 rows). This ensures a simple structure, high speed, stable ink ejection, excellent image quality, and long service life.
With Epson’s exclusive VSDT (Variable-Sized Droplet Technology), the I1600-A1 can freely control droplet size, reducing graininess and achieving smoother gradations, finer image details, and richer color reproduction.
It offers high resolution, supporting 600 dpi for 2-color printing and 300 dpi for 4-color printing, suitable for aqueous ink applications.
Built with Epson’s advanced precision processing technology, the I1600-A1 provides high durability and reliability, widely adopted in commercial and industrial printing to deliver consistent, high-quality output.
