Frequently Asked Questions
Fujifilm, Dimatix, Spectra — are these the same brand?
Yes, they are all the same lineage. Spectra was the original brand that developed the Galaxy, Nova, Polaris and SL/SM head families. Spectra was acquired by Dimatix, which later became Fujifilm Dimatix after Fujifilm's acquisition. Older heads (Spectra Galaxy, Spectra Polaris, Spectra Nova, Spectra SL/SM 128) still carry the Spectra name; newer heads (Fujifilm Dimatix Sapphire, StarFire SG1024) carry the Fujifilm Dimatix name. They are sold and supported as one product family. If you have an older printer with a "Spectra" head, the replacement is found under the same model name in the Fujifilm Dimatix catalog.
What do the StarFire SG1024 suffixes mean — SA, SA-2C, SC, MA, XSA, LA, LA2Ci?
The SG1024 is a 1,024-nozzle industrial head, and the suffix identifies ink chemistry and configuration. SA — single-color standard, the workhorse variant for UV applications. SA-2C — dual-color version, 200dpi, two ink channels in one head. SC — ceramic ink variant, built for the demanding chemistry of ceramic tile production. MA — high-viscosity/specialty ink variant. XSA — extended-life SA for high-duty cycles. LA — light-color and varnish applications. LA2Ci — newer-generation LA with improved nozzle health and 2-color independent firing. The suffix is critical: not interchangeable. Always match the existing head's suffix before ordering.
How do I read the Spectra naming convention (e.g. 256/80 AAA, 512/35 AAA)?
Spectra heads use a standard naming format: nozzle count / drop volume (in picoliters) generation. For example, Polaris PQ-512/35 AAA = 512 nozzles, 35pl drop, AAA generation. Galaxy JA 256/80 AAA = 256 nozzles, 80pl drop. Galaxy PH 256/30 AAA = 256 nozzles, 30pl drop, PH ink chemistry. Smaller drop sizes (15pl, 30pl) are for finer detail; larger drops (50pl, 80pl, 85pl) are for high-coverage flood-fill applications like ceramic tile, large-format banners and industrial coatings.
Which Fujifilm Dimatix printhead family fits my application?
StarFire SG1024 — high-speed industrial UV and ceramic, 1,024 nozzles, $3,000+ range. Polaris PQ-512 — wide-format UV/solvent, 512 nozzles, balanced cost/performance. Galaxy JA / PH — legacy industrial heads still common in older UV and solvent machines. Sapphire QS-256 / QSR256 — high-resolution industrial inkjet, 256 nozzles, used in commercial printing systems. Spectra SL-128 / SM-128 — entry-level 128-nozzle heads for coding, marking and lower-volume industrial. Each product page lists exact printer compatibility.
Are these Fujifilm Dimatix printheads genuine?
Yes. All Fujifilm Dimatix and Spectra printheads sold by Digiprint USA are 100% genuine originals — never used, refurbished, or altered. These are premium industrial components ($1,000 to $3,500+ per head), so verifying authenticity matters. Every head ships with original packaging and is covered by manufacturer warranty.
What is the warranty and return policy on Fujifilm Dimatix printheads?
Fujifilm Dimatix industrial printheads are high-precision components. All sales are final once the head is installed — they cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded after installation. Sealed, unused printheads are eligible for store credit only, not a refund to the original payment method. Warranty coverage requires use of approved inks; non-approved inks or tampered/missing serial numbers void coverage. Inspect your delivery on arrival; hidden defects must be reported within 48 hours.
