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.

  • Physical Hardware Platform: Epson F160010 / F160000 Micro-Piezo Drop-on-Demand Technology
  • Native Resolution: 1440 dpi
  • Physical Channel Layout: 8 independent fluid channels
  • Nozzle Matrix Configuration: 8 lines × 180 nozzles per line (totaling 1,440 physical nozzles)
  • Droplet Modulation Technology: Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT), ranging from 1.5 pl to 21 pl for seamless tonal transitions
  • Typical Firing Frequency: 8 kHz
  • OEM Electrical Interface: Black flat cable connector (Note: The upgrade replacement DF-49684 features a green connector)
  • Voltage Calibration Code: 40-digit physical Head ID (If utilizing the upgraded DF-49684 replacement, use its corresponding 24-digit code for voltage calibration)
