ORIGINAL i3200 PRINTHEAD

Original Epson i3200 Printhead

Restore high-resolution, production-ready output to your compatible DTF, sublimation, UV or eco-solvent printer with the Original Epson i3200 Printhead. This PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead is designed for detailed graphics, smooth gradients and reliable CMYK plus white-ink performance when installed in a fully compatible printer and maintained correctly.

The i3200 is available in different versions for different ink systems: i3200-A1 for water-based inks such as DTF and sublimation, i3200-U1 for UV-curable inks, and i3200-E1 for eco-solvent inks. These versions may look similar, but they are not interchangeable without a complete ink-system clean or replacement and printer reconfiguration.eposs.epson.com+1

High-density printing performance

The Epson i3200 series features a 33.8 mm (1.33-inch) effective print width, 3,200 nozzles arranged in eight rows, and nozzle resolutions of 300 npi per row or 600 npi across two rows. It supports up to four colour inks and is designed for high-quality, high-productivity digital printing.eposs.epson.com+1

In a DTF workflow, the i3200-A1 lays down CMYK and white ink onto DTF PET film. The printed design is then coated with DTF adhesive powder, cured and heat-pressed onto suitable fabric. A correctly matched original printhead helps maintain clean edges, accurate colour output and dependable white-ink performance.

Choose the correct i3200 version

Do not purchase an i3200 printhead based on appearance alone. Confirm the exact version required by your printer:

Water-based i3200-A1 heads must not be installed in UV or solvent printers, and UV i3200-U1 heads must not be installed in DTF or sublimation printers. Each version is designed around different ink chemistry and internal components.eposs.epson.com+1

Suitable applications

Use the correct original i3200 printhead version in compatible printing systems for:

• DTF apparel printing on DTF PET film.

• Sublimation printing for suitable polyester-based products.

• UV DTF printing for hard-surface stickers and transfers.

• UV roll or flatbed printing, where the printer uses i3200-U1 heads.

• Eco-solvent signage and large-format printing, where the printer uses i3200-E1 heads.

• Replacement of a faulty or damaged i3200-compatible printhead.

Why choose an original printhead?

An original printhead is intended to match the manufacturer’s intended design and performance standards. This can be important when replacing a damaged head, because incorrect or poorly matched components may lead to nozzle issues, poor ink delivery, colour banding or printer errors.

When buying, ask whether the product is original, OEM or compatible. Do not rely only on the word “original” in a listing—request the part number, packaging details, serial or verification information, warranty terms and return policy. Supplier listings identify i3200-A1, U1 and E1 as separate versions, so verify the exact model before purchase.alibaba+1

Important compatibility checks

Printheads are sensitive components, and an incorrect replacement can cause poor print quality, ink-system faults or permanent damage. Before ordering, confirm:

• The exact printer brand, model and board version.

• The required i3200 version: A1, U1, E1 or another variant.

• The ink type used in your printer.

• The number of printheads required.

• The required cables, dampers, capping station and carriage compatibility.

• Whether the product is original, OEM or compatible.

• Warranty terms and whether installation or technical support is included.

A supplier should confirm compatibility in writing before you purchase, especially if you are replacing a printhead or changing from one ink system to another.alibaba+1

Maintenance and handling

Handle the printhead carefully and avoid touching the nozzle plate or electrical contacts. Use only the cleaning solution and procedures approved for your printer and ink system. Regular nozzle checks, proper capping and correct white-ink circulation help reduce the risk of clogging and maintain print quality.

If nozzles become blocked, begin with the printer’s standard cleaning cycle and nozzle check. Avoid aggressive cleaning methods unless recommended by the printer manufacturer, as improper handling can damage the printhead.alibaba

Choose the correct A1, U1 or E1 version for your ink system, and confirm full printer compatibility before installation.
