- Resolution. I3200 printhead adopts TFP technology, smallest droplet is 2.5pl, variable dots technology, can ensure perfect high resolution printing effect. And DX5 head with 3.5pl droplet.
- Application. I3200 printhead with three models such as I3200-A1,I3200-E1 and I3200-U1.They are available for water-based ink, eco solvent ink, solvent ink, sublimation ink, UV ink, pigment ink, which can be widely used in printing industry.
