Spectra Nova JA 256/80 AAA Industrial Piezo Printhead

The Spectra Nova JA 256/80 AAA is a highly durable, piezoelectric drop-on-demand printhead engineered specifically for heavy-duty industrial inkjet applications.

Product Overview

The Spectra Nova JA 256/80 AAA is a highly durable, piezoelectric drop-on-demand printhead engineered specifically for heavy-duty industrial inkjet applications. Featuring a substantial 80 pL calibrated droplet volume, this printhead is designed for production environments that demand exceptional material coverage, high fluid deposition, and reliable handling of high-viscosity or heavily pigmented fluids—such as industrial UV white inks, varnishes, and outdoor solvent-based inks.

Key Technical Specifications

  • Active Nozzles: 256 independent channels arranged in a precise single-line array
  • Nominal Drop Size: 80 pL (Adjustable range: 75–85 pL)
  • Nozzle Spacing (Pitch): 279 microns (0.011 inches — Note: Please distinguish this from the Galaxy series’ 254-micron spacing when ordering)
  • Maximum Firing Frequency: 20 kHz
  • Operating Temperature: Supports up to 90°C
  • Fluid Compatibility: Fully compatible with UV-curable, solvent-based, and aqueous industrial fluids

Core Features & Advantages

  • Exceptional Opacity & Coverage: The large 80 pL drop size rapidly deposits dense layers of ink, providing superior color saturation and hiding power. It remains an industry standard for solid background blocks, outdoor wide-format graphics, and white ink undercoats.
  • Precise Nova-Architecture Standard: Engineered with a 279-micron nozzle pitch, it offers flawless mechanical alignment with classic high-end industrial printer carriages built on the Nova hardware framework.
  • Powerful Thermal Control: Integrated high-precision heating elements allow stable operation at temperatures up to 90°C. By efficiently lowering fluid viscosity, it ensures smooth, continuous jetting without clogging.
  • Heavy-Duty Operational Lifespan: The internal fluid paths are constructed using robust, anti-corrosive, and wear-resistant materials capable of enduring harsh industrial chemical inks, significantly extending the component life.
