}Epson DX7 Solvent Printhead 1st coded
Brand: Epson
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Availability: In stock
The Epson DX7 is a seventh-generation MicroPiezo printhead and one of the most capable solvent heads ever built. It powers Roland's most popular production machines — the RE-640, VS-640, and RA-640 — and remains the benchmark for eco-solvent print quality. The 1st coded version is the specific variant required for Roland printers. Every DX7 we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Epson.

1st Coded vs 2nd Coded — What is the Difference?
This is the most important question when ordering a DX7. The coding refers to the firmware chip on the printhead that communicates with your printer's control board. Roland printers require the 1st coded version. Chinese eco-solvent printers typically require the 2nd coded (unlocked) version. Installing the wrong coded version will result in the printer not recognising the head. Contact our team before ordering — we confirm compatibility for every customer at no charge.
DX7 vs DX6 — Which Does Your Roland Need?
The DX7 (1,440 nozzles, 1440 dpi native) and the Roland DX6 part 6701409010 (1,440 nozzles, 360 dpi native) are different generations and are not interchangeable. The DX7 offers more refined dot placement and higher native resolution. Roland RE-640, VS-640, RA-640, and RF-640 series use the DX7 1st coded. Check your printer model carefully before ordering.

Recommended Accessories — Replace at the Same Time
When replacing a DX7 on a Roland RE-640, VS-640, or RA-640 always replace the head data cables at the same time. Installing a new head on worn cables is the most common cause of premature DX7 failure and is not covered under warranty. In eco-solvent use a DX7 printhead typically lasts 9 to 12 months — see our printhead lifespan guide for replacement cycles by model and tips to extend service life.
• Roland DX7 head data cable set — 4-piece set, 28-pin and 29-pin cables for RE-640, VS-640, RA-640
• Eco-solvent dampers — replace when fitting a new head
Contact our team before ordering to confirm the correct cable set for your exact Roland model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DX7 1st coded and 2nd coded?
The 1st coded version communicates with Roland printer control boards. The 2nd coded (unlocked) version is for Chinese eco-solvent printers using the DX7 platform. Installing the wrong version means the printer will not recognise the printhead. If you are unsure, contact our team with your printer model and we will confirm the correct version at no charge.
Which Roland printers use the DX7 1st coded?
RE-640, RE-640G, VS-640, VS-640i, RA-640, RF-640, RF-640A, XF-640, XR-640, BN-20 (some variants), and EJ-640. If your Roland model is not on this list contact our team before ordering.
What cables do I need when replacing a Roland DX7?
Roland RE-640, VS-640, and RA-640 use a 4-piece head data cable set — two 28-pin and two 29-pin cables. The part numbers are Roland 1000006702 and 1000006703. We stock these — add them to your order before checkout via our cables section.
How long does the DX7 printhead last?
In typical eco-solvent use the DX7 lasts 9 to 12 months — much longer than DTF printheads, because eco-solvent inks are far less abrasive on the nozzle plate than water-based DTF white ink. Replacing the head data cables at each head change is the single most important step to avoid premature failure. See our printhead lifespan guide for full data across all Epson models.
What is the difference between DX7 and DX6?
The DX6 has 360 dpi native resolution. The DX7 has 1440 dpi native resolution with more refined dot placement. They are not interchangeable. Check your Roland model against the compatibility lists above before ordering.
Do you ship to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American Roland users and resellers using freight forwarders in the Miami area.
