Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between I3200-U1 and I3200-A1?
The I3200-U1 is engineered for UV-curable inks — for use in UV flatbed printers and UV roll-to-roll systems. The I3200-A1 is engineered for water-based inks — for use in DTF printers and aqueous wide-format systems. The internal components are optimised for different ink chemistries. Using the wrong ink type in either head will cause permanent damage. Always confirm your printer type before ordering.
What does "unlocked" mean for the I3200-U1?
The I3200-U1 is an unlocked version of the Epson I3200 — it is not tied to a specific OEM printer and is compatible with third-party Chinese UV printer systems. This is distinct from locked Epson printheads (such as those in Epson branded printers) which will only work in designated machines.
How many nozzles does the I3200-U1 have?
The I3200-U1 has 1,600 nozzles across 4 rows of 400 nozzles each, at 600 dpi native resolution and a 1.33-inch print width.
Is the I3200-U1 compatible with DTF printing?
The I3200-U1 is compatible with UV-based DTF systems. For standard water-based DTF printing (which uses water-based pigment inks), the correct head is the I3200-A1. Contact our team to confirm which variant your DTF printer requires.
Do you ship Epson I3200-U1 printheads to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American UV print shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
