The D3000-A1R is the first in a new range of Epson printheads that support ink circulation at nozzle level, educing nozzle cleaning and capping requirements. The printhead can be used either in single colour 1200dpi mode or with two colours at 600dpi.
With a 67mm print swathe, the DC300-A1R is easily scalable for wide, high-quality applications such as flexible packaging, décor and labels.
Epson said the demand for digital printing with water-based ink has risen in recent years due to a growing requirement to mitigate the environmental impact of printing, and that the D3000-A1R offers a competitive edge to equipment manufacturers keen to address environmental and sustainability concerns.
The D3000-A1R will be available later this year.
