Next-generation print head technology
PrecisionCore is a revolutionary step forward in printing technology. Engineered to deliver increased speed and unbeatable image quality, this high-density print chip generates up to 40 million precise dots per second with astonishing ink placement accuracy and fewer distortions and imperfections.
Watch how this next-generation inkjet technology produces up to 40 million precise dots per second to provide professional output at dramatic speeds.
Take an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fully automated Epson print head production in Japan for a rare glimpse into the advanced technology behind PrecisionCore.
Hear from Epson's team of experts, who spent years bringing this groundbreaking print head to the forefront of technology, and see what went into one of the largest strategic investments in Epson’s history.
At the heart of PrecisionCore is the PrecisionCore MicroTFP print chip. This print chip is modular and can be arrayed in various print head configurations.
Based on the thin film piezo (TFP) technology that Epson has been using in commercial large-format printers, the MicroTFP PrecisionCore print chip offers vastly improved basic performance compared to conventional piezo print heads. This includes faster speed and more accurate dot placement. Thin film piezo actuators, which act as pumps that fire droplets of ink, are just 1 micron thick and can precisely control the droplet shape and volume at a rate up to 50,000 times a second per nozzle. In addition, by increasing the length of the nozzle plate, and thus the length of the nozzle line, from 1 inch to 1.33 inches, PrecisionCore print heads are able to deliver professional output quality at incredibly high speeds with unbeatable image quality.
Modular PrecisionCore chips can be combined in different ways to build a variety of print heads, from industrial press line heads to desktop serial print heads. As it continues to evolve, PrecisionCore promises to be an enduring inkjet technology platform and its potential is only just beginning to be tapped.
