Frequently Asked Questions
How many 1000021818 printheads does the Roland IU-1000F use?
The IU-1000F uses twelve 1000021818 printheads arranged in a staggered three-row configuration — four heads per row, three rows total. This wide-pass arrangement is what enables the machine's high production speeds. When replacing a head, it is critical to identify the specific position that has failed before ordering to ensure you replace only the affected unit. Contact our team for guidance on isolating the failing head position.
What UV inks is the Roland 1000021818 printhead compatible with?
The 1000021818 is designed for Roland's exclusively developed GREENGUARD Gold certified UV inks for the IU-1000F — available in CMYK, White, Gloss, and Primer configurations. Always use Roland-approved inks with this printhead. Using non-approved UV inks on industrial UV printheads is a leading cause of premature nozzle failure and will void any warranty coverage.
What substrates can the IU-1000F print on with this printhead?
The IU-1000F with the 1000021818 printhead prints directly onto a wide range of rigid and flexible substrates including PETG, PVC board, foam board, wood, corrugated board, aluminum plate, metal, glass, acrylic, leather, fabric, and canvas. For challenging substrates like glass, metal, aluminum, and acrylic, Primer ink can be used to improve adhesion before printing CMYK layers. Substrate clearance is up to 4.3 inches, and the flatbed handles boards weighing up to 99 lbs.
Do you ship the Roland 1000021818 to Latin America?
