• Aqueous Ink System Only: This printhead features internal manifold seals formulated specifically for water-based dye and pigment ink chemistries. Do not run eco-solvent, mild-solvent, UV, or aggressive chemical inks through this head, as non-approved solvent chemistries will degrade the internal manifold materials and permanently damage the unit.
• Multi-Channel Usage: Equipped with 2 independent ink channels that can be configured to fire a single color across both nozzle lines or two distinct colors through each individual channel.
• Data Cable Replacement: It is strongly recommended to replace the flat flexible printhead data cables (FFC) when installing a new printhead. Aged, flexed, or ink-contaminated data cables are a primary cause of short circuits that can destroy both the printhead and the printer's main carriage board.
