Speaking of the characteristics and differences of Epson S3200, I3200, 4720 printheads, many people may easily confuse the S3200 and I3200 printheads. Let's simplify it and mainly talk about these water-based printheads used in the textile digital printing industry. The specific models are S3200 A1 and I3200 A1, 4720 printheads.
From the appearance, we can clearly see the difference between the S3200 printhead and the I3200 printhead. Although both printheads are positioned as industrial print heads, the S3200 printhead is obviously larger in size. From the perspective of product positioning, the S3200 printhead is positioned for the mid-to-high-end customer group, and the I3200 is positioned for the middle and small customers. The price difference between the two is also very large.
The other two print heads, I3200 and 4720, look very similar in appearance. In fact, these two print heads are very similar in appearance and performance. The official model of Epson is called I3200, and the 4720 print head was not officially sold originally.
The parameters of the 4720 and I3200 printheads are very similar. From the official introduction, the difference between the two printheads is that the ink dots of the I3200 printhead are more delicate than the 4720 printhead, the frequency can be reached of the I3200 printhead is also faster, and the actual printing speed is faster than the 4720. Although there are these two differences, the difference in the application is not obvious. I personally think that the most important difference should be that the official I3200 printhead should be better than the 4720 printhead in terms of durability and stability due to targeted board matching and strict quality control.
Let's focus on the performance differences between the S3200 and I3200 printheads. First, the printhead size is 4 inches for the S3200 printhead and 1 inch for the I3200 printhead. In addition, in terms of color, the S3200 printhead is a two-color printhead and the I3200 printhead is a four-color printhead. The S3200 printhead has a faster jet frequency and a smaller minimum droplet volume. From the printhead size and speed accuracy, the S3200 printhead has more advantages than the I3200 printhead.
Finally, let's take a look at the market application of these three printheads. The 4720 printhead is still the largest in the market and is widely used in the textile and advertising fields. The price of the I3200 printhead and 4720 printhead is similar.
As mentioned above, considering the cost and the durability and stability of the printhead, more and more new machines are equipped with the official I3200 printhead. Although the S3200 printhead is more expensive, it is mainly used for mid-to-high-end customers due to its different product positioning from the I3200 printhead. Many
inkjet printing machine manufacturers are already promoting machine equipped with four-head or eight-head S3200 print heads.
