Field-Repairable Design
The Polaris PQ-512 AAA family uses a modular field-repairable architecture with built-in heaters and temperature sensors — components can be replaced on-site without special tools, significantly reducing maintenance downtime in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution can the PQ-512/15 achieve?
The PQ-512/15 AAA achieves up to 1,000 dpi in single-colour operation — the highest resolution in the Polaris PQ-512 AAA family. This is made possible by the 127 µm nozzle spacing at its 15 pl drop size. At two-colour operation, the effective resolution is 500 dpi. The higher the drop size variant (/35 or /85), the lower the achievable resolution.
What is the VersaDrop range on the PQ-512/15?
The PQ-512/15 jets from 15 pl (at 40 kHz) up to 30 pl (at 20 kHz) in adjustable binary mode. This is different from the PQ-512/35 (35–80 pl) and PQ-512/85 (80–150 pl). Always verify which drop size range your OEM system was configured for before ordering.
Is the PQ-512/15 field-repairable?
Yes — all Polaris PQ-512 AAA heads use a modular field-repairable design allowing component replacement on-site without special tools. This reduces total cost of ownership in high-volume production environments compared to sealed industrial heads.
Do you ship Spectra Polaris PQ-512/15 AAA printheads to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American industrial UV and solvent print shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
