PrecisionCore^TM

Inch for inch, PrecisionCore printheads are one of the fastest inkjet delivery technologies in the world, with up to twice the resolution of Epson’s conventional printheads, and the ability for each nozzle to produce dot sizes from 1.5~33 picolitres (1 pl = one trillionth of a litre) on demand up to 50,000 times a second. These print nozzles are capable of producing a wide variety of droplet sizes with ultra-precise control of dot size, shape and placement, enabling both fine detail and quick filling of larger areas—all at a single pass.

PrecisionCore printhead technology takes full advantage of its piezo characteristics to keep working reliably. Utilising piezo elements to mechanically eject the ink, this heatless system prolongs printhead longevity, providing reliable long-term operation. The piezo element can also act as a highly-sensitive sensor which is able to detect irregularities such as whether an air bubble has interrupted firing, or if rising ink viscosity is causing issues—all within milliseconds. The technology’s ability to self-diagnose its own capabilities allows it to continually sustain the system with minimal maintenance downtime.

PrecisionCore builds on Epson’s longstanding reputation for output quality, at the speeds and reliability required for industrial and commercial printing. This highly scalable technology now powers products ranging from desktop printers through to commercial and industrial systems such as large-scale label presses. This is achievable through the modularity of PrecisionCore print chips, which allows them to be arranged in both serial printhead and fixed linehead configurations.
