FOUR MISUNDERSTANDINGS OF UV PRINTERHEADS

Where are the printheads of UV printer made in？Some are made in Japan,such as Epson printheads,Seiko printheads,Konica printheads,Ricoh printheads,Kyocera printheads. Some in England,such as xaar printheads.some in America,such as Polaris printheads…
Here are four misunderstandings for printheads origin.

Misunderstanding One

So far, there is no technical capacity to produce UV printheads in China, and all the printheads used are imported. The larger manufacturers will take the printheads directly from the original factory, and the smaller will take the printheads from the agents; therefore, when some sales say that the printhead is made by their own company, they are liars.

Misunderstanding Two

The lack of the ability to develop and produce printheads does not mean the lack of the ability to develop the control system for matching printheads. Of course, the ability is mainly concentrated in a few companies, many of which just take the motherboard for a little modification and then publicize their own research and development.they are liars.

Misunderstanding Three

The printhead is just a part of UV printer. It is called UV printhead when it is applied to UV printer. It is called solvent printhead when it is applied to solvent printer. When we see that some manufacturers produce Seiko UV printers, Ricoh UV printers and so on, it just shows that their printer is equipped with this type of printhead, not that they have the ability to produce the printhead.

Misunderstanding Four

There are two types of printhead sales: open type and non-open type.The open type refers to that the printhead has been opened for sale in chinese market, which can be bought by anyone, such as Epson printhead, Ricoh printhead, etc., easy entering, most small and medium-sized enterprises, and big changes in the price.

Non-open type printhead refers to Seiko printhead, Toshiba printhead, etc., which generally has signed an agreement with the original factory, with stable supply channels and stable market price, but also restricts the printer manufacturer to develop and produce only the machines with this type of printheads. Hard entering and few manufacturers.

We need to be careful that if a company has any type of printheads for UV printer, it is not the strong technical strength and large scale it preaches, but to a large extent, it is only a middleman, so we need to be cautious for choice.
