L1440-U2 vs L1440-A1 — Which Variant Do You Need?
The L1440-U2 and L1440-A1 are the same physical DX7 printhead platform with different nozzle plate coatings matched to different ink chemistries. The L1440-U2 (this listing) has a UV-resistant coating engineered to resist the reactive monomers and photoinitiators in UV-curable and eco-solvent inks. The L1440-A1 is coated for water-based inks — aqueous, DTF, and sublimation. Installing the wrong variant for your ink chemistry causes premature nozzle plate degradation. Confirm your printer's ink type before ordering.

L1440-U2 vs i3200-U1 — Which UV Head Should You Choose?
The L1440-U2 FA45002 is the proven DX7-generation UV and eco-solvent head for Roland VS/RE/RA/XF series, Mutoh VJ series, Mimaki JV/CJV series, and Epson SureColor P-series — a cost-effective, widely supported replacement for these established platforms. The Epson i3200-U1 is the current-generation UV printhead with 3,200 nozzles, higher firing frequency, and significantly greater throughput — the upgrade path for newer high-volume UV platforms. For existing DX7 Roland, Mutoh, and Mimaki platforms, the L1440-U2 remains the correct and most cost-effective replacement head.
Recommended Accessories — Replace at the Same Time
When installing a new L1440-U2 printhead always replace the data cables and dampers at the same time. Installing a new head on worn accessories is the most common cause of premature head failure:
• Roland VS/RE/RA head data cables — replace at every printhead installation
• Roland VS-640 ink dampers (1000012719) — replace all 8 dampers per head installation
• Capping station / cap top — inspect and replace if seal integrity is compromised

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between L1440-U2 and L1440-A1?
Both are Epson DX7 printheads (FA45002 family) with identical nozzle counts and physical dimensions but different nozzle plate coatings. The L1440-U2 (this listing) is coated for UV-curable and eco-solvent inks. The L1440-A1 is coated for water-based inks — aqueous, DTF, and sublimation. Installing the wrong variant for your ink chemistry causes premature nozzle plate degradation. Confirm your printer's ink type before ordering.
Is the L1440-U2 the same as Roland part 6701409010?
Yes — Roland part number 6701409010 is Roland's own designation for the L1440-U2 / DX7 printhead for the VS series and related Roland eco-solvent platforms. The Epson FA45002 (L1440-U2) is the original Epson-sourced head corresponding to this Roland number. Mutoh's equivalent cross-reference is DG-43988 for VJ series printers.
What cables and dampers do I need for a Roland VS-640?
For the Roland VS-640 you need the 4-piece head data cable set (3× Roland 1000006702 + 1× 1000006703) and all 8 ink dampers (1000012719 white ESL DX6 damper). We stock both — add them to your order before checkout to avoid a second shipping charge.
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, Mutoh, Mimaki, and Epson SureColor P operators using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
