Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between QS-256/10 and QS-256/14?
Both are 256-channel, 64.77mm Sapphire heads with VersaDrop jetting and 8 m/s drop velocity. The QS-256/10 is the highest-resolution variant: 10–30 pl, up to 1,200 dpi — built for the finest detail applications in Durst Rho, Inktec Jetrix, and Polytype VIRTU architectures. The QS-256/14 runs 14–30 pl at up to 50 kHz and is used in Screen Truepress and Inca Onset X3 systems. Always confirm with your printer's service manual or contact our team before ordering — they are not interchangeable.
Does the QS-256/10 AAA support UV, solvent, and aqueous inks?
Yes. The inert silicon nozzle plate and 10–14 cP viscosity range make it compatible with UV-curable, organic solvent, and aqueous-based inks and their associated maintenance fluids.
What does "minimal wetted surface area" mean on the fluid interface?
It means the ink contacts as little of the printhead's internal surface as possible during operation. This reduces ink retention between flushes, lowers contamination risk when switching inks, and makes maintenance cycles faster — a key advantage in production environments where downtime is costly.
Do you ship the QS-256/10 AAA to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse before 2PM EST. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American Durst Rho and Inktec Jetrix production shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
