Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between QS-256/14 and QS-256/30?
Both are 256-channel, 64.77mm Sapphire heads with VersaDrop jetting. The QS-256/14 is the high-speed fine-drop variant: 14–30 pl, 50 kHz at 14pl, 16 kHz at 30pl — designed for maximum throughput in Screen Truepress and Inca Onset X3 architectures. The QS-256/30 is the medium-drop variant: 30–80 pl, 33 kHz. Your printer's OEM configuration determines which variant is correct. Always confirm before ordering — they are not interchangeable.
Does the QS-256/14 AAA work with 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.
Do you ship the QS-256/14 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 Screen Truepress and Inca Onset production shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
