Technical Overview
This is a high-precision micro-piezo printhead specifically engineered for Mutoh Drafstation plotters and ValueJet water-based printer series. Built on the core Epson F160010 / F160000 physical hardware platform, it features optimized internal fluidics and nozzle plate architecture tailored for aqueous dye, aqueous pigment, and digital dye-sublimation inks.
Lifecycle & Upgrade Notice:
As the early-generation printheads configured with black physical connectors (Part Number: DF-49029) are fully discontinued, Mutoh and the industry have transitioned to the highly chemical-resistant green-connector eco-solvent printhead (Part Number: DF-49684) as the official, 100% physically and electrically compatible ultimate upgrade replacement. Its internal circuits are completely backward-compatible, enabling plug-and-play functionality in water-based and dye-sublimation systems.
