🔥 Overview

The DTF workhorse printhead

The Epson I3200-A1 is a PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead for aqueous ink — the head behind countless DTF printers. MEMS manufacturing and thin-film piezo elements deliver exceptional precision and high-density nozzle performance for compact, high-speed, high-quality printing.

It supports up to 8 rows of ink supply channels for flexible color configurations and improved placement accuracy, and high-definition output of up to 1,200 nozzles per inch when configured with two colors (I3200(8)-A1HD). Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) provides smooth grey-scale gradation. Made in Japan.

💡 The A1 is the aqueous-ink variant of the I3200 platform — the standard head for DTF printers. Confirm compatibility with your specific printer model before ordering.
