}Fujifilm Dimatix Sapphire QSR256 10pl Printhead
Brand: Dimatix
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Availability: In stock
The Fujifilm Dimatix Sapphire QSR256 10pl is a genuine original Q-Class industrial inkjet printhead — the recirculating variant of the Sapphire QS-256/10 architecture. The "R" designation identifies the addition of Dimatix's ink recirculation structure: ink is continuously circulated near the nozzle tip during both jetting and idle periods, preventing pigment sedimentation, air bubble accumulation, and nozzle drying in demanding UV, solvent, and aqueous production environments. Built on the same 256-channel, 64.77mm, 50 kHz VersaDrop platform as the QS-256/10, it is the specified printhead for the Durst Rho 700. Manufactured in the USA. Every QSR256 10pl we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Fujifilm Dimatix.
QSR256 vs QS-256/10 AAA — confirm which your printer requires. The QSR256 10pl adds ink recirculation to the base QS-256/10 AAA architecture. The two heads share physical dimensions and connector interfaces but are not operationally identical — the QSR256 requires the printer's ink supply system to support recirculation flow. The QS-256/10 AAA (with hose) is the non-recirculating variant for other Q-Class compatible printers. Always confirm your Durst Rho 700 service documentation specifies QSR256 before ordering.

The QSR256 requires the printer's ink supply system to support active recirculation flow through the head. Standard Q-Class printers without recirculation-capable ink systems should use the QS-256/10 AAA. Confirm your Durst Rho 700 service documentation specifies the QSR256 before ordering.
Why Recirculation Matters on the Durst Rho 700
The Durst Rho 700 is a high-speed UV flatbed and roll-to-roll production printer operating with UV inks containing photoinitiators and reactive monomers that can settle or thicken near nozzle tips during idle periods between jobs. The QSR256's continuous ink recirculation structure maintains fresh, uniformly mixed ink at each nozzle throughout the production day — eliminating start-up purging time after idle periods, reducing waste from purging, and maintaining consistent dot size and colour density from the first print of the shift to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "R" in QSR256 mean?
The "R" stands for Recirculation — distinguishing this variant from the standard QS-256/10 AAA. The QSR256 adds continuous ink recirculation near the nozzle tip, keeping ink fresh and uniformly mixed during both active jetting and idle periods. This is essential for UV inks prone to settling or viscosity drift, and eliminates the purge waste and start-up time associated with non-recirculating heads after idle periods.
Can I use a QS-256/10 AAA instead of a QSR256 in my Durst Rho 700?
Not as a direct swap. The Durst Rho 700 ink supply system is configured for the QSR256's recirculation flow path. Installing a non-recirculating QS-256/10 AAA would prevent ink circulation and defeat the printer's ink management design. Always use the QSR256 in Durst Rho 700 printers and the QS-256/10 AAA in non-recirculating Q-Class printers.
Do you ship Fujifilm Dimatix QSR256 printheads to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American Durst Rho 700 production shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
