Inkjet printer head QS-256-10 AAA

high-definition

Overview
The Sapphire QS-256-10 AAA is an industrial inkjet printhead engineered for high-precision, grayscale-capable jetting in scanning-printer architectures. Lightweight and thin-profile, it supports a wide range of ink formulations with a 10 pL native drop size.

Key details

• 256 independent channels arranged in a single row with 100 dots-per-inch (dpi) nozzle spacing
• Native drop size: 10 pL
• Binary jetting: adjustable 10–30 pL
• Grayscale jetting: 10 pL fundamental drop for up to 1200 dpi
• Nominal drop velocity: 8 m/s for fluids in the 10–14 cP viscosity range
• Lightweight, thin-profile design configurable for scanning-printer integration

Applications

• High-resolution scanning-printer systems for industrial imaging
• Variable-data and high-speed production printing
• Prototype and R&D for functional inks and specialty formulations
