I3200 Printhead Facts for DTF Users

General Features

• Model names: The Epson I3200 series printhead is sometimes referred to as 4720, EP3200, or EPS3200 (common market names for the same platform).

• Speed: The I3200 has 3,200 nozzles (8 × 400). Typical printing speed can reach approximately 26–33 m²/h at 4-pass, depending on printer design and settings.

• Resolution: The I3200 uses TFP (Thin Film Piezo) technology with variable droplet sizes, a minimum droplet of 2.5 pl, delivering high-resolution and smooth print results.

• Applications: The I3200 series includes multiple versions, such as I3200-A1, I3200-E1, and I3200-U1, designed for use with different ink types including water-based, eco-solvent, solvent, sublimation, UV, and pigment inks. Selection depends on the specific model and printer configuration.

• Lifespan: Typical lifespan is 1–3 years, depending on ink type, maintenance, and operating conditions.

The I3200 series printheads are industrial-grade printheads designed for large-format printers. Large-format printers typically have a maximum print width of 24 to 100 inches (60–254 cm). While the I3200 can be used in smaller machines, it is optimised for large-format printer designs and may not perform at its best in compact or desktop printers.
