Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between JA 256/30 AAA and JA 256/50 AAA?
The 30pl head (this listing) delivers a smaller drop size at up to 900 dpi — used for colour channels and higher-resolution applications. The 50pl head delivers a larger drop at up to 600 dpi — used for white ink channels on the VUTEk PressVu 200/600 and white or specialty ink applications on other printers. They are not interchangeable — always verify which drop size your printer and channel require.
Does this head include the VUTEk metallic base?
No — the JA 256/30 AAA is supplied in the original Spectra sealed package, without the metallic base plate manufactured by VUTEk. The base from your old head can be reused. Contact our team if your base is damaged and needs replacement.
Which channels on the VUTEk PressVu 200/600 use the 256/30 AAA?
On the VUTEk PressVu 200/600 the JA 256/30 AAA is used for the colour ink channels. The white ink channel on the same printer uses the JA 256/50 AAA (50pl head). Always confirm which channel you are replacing before ordering.
Is the JA 256/30 AAA compatible with the EFI Vutek PressVu UV 180/600?
Yes — the JA 256/30 AAA is the correct head for the EFI Vutek PressVu UV 180/600. It is also compatible with the PressVu UV 200/600 colour channels. Contact our team with your VUTEk model and serial number to confirm before ordering.

Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American wide-format UV print shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
