Product Description

SEIKO Alpha 1024 Printhead — 1024 nozzles, up to 25pl drop size, 30-35kHz firing frequency & print speeds up to 260 sqm/hr. High-speed industrial inkjet printhead for solvent printers, supporting oil-based, UV, solvent & water-based inks. One-year warranty & lifetime technical support.

Alpha 1024 Printhead | High-Speed Industrial Inkjet Printhead Solution

The Alpha 1024 Printhead is a high-performance industrial inkjet printhead designed specifically for solvent printer applications and demanding production environments. Featuring independent nozzle technology, it delivers high firing frequency, stable ink jetting, and an extended service life — making it a highly dependable alternative to standard cartridge-style epson print head or hp printer head designs used in less demanding, light-duty printing setups.

While a compact i3200 epson is typically optimized for lower-viscosity DTF or water-based inks, the Alpha 1024 printer printhead is built to handle heavier fluid dynamics at massive speeds. With 1024 nozzles per head, it supports single-color and dual-color printing at resolutions of 360 dpi and 180 dpi. A drop size of up to 25pl and a firing frequency of 30 kHz enable ultra-high-speed printing of up to 260 sqm/hr. This makes the Alpha 1024 inkjet printhead the ultimate choice for high-volume banner, sticker, and outdoor advertising production. It supports oil-based, UV, solvent, and water-based inks, and comes with a one-year warranty on boards and motors, lifetime free technical support, installation guidance, and optional global door-to-door technical training.

Key Advantages of the Alpha 1024 Printhead

✔ Independent Nozzle Technology

Independent firing per nozzle delivers high jetting frequency and highly stable ink flow. Unlike a standard epson print head where a single channel failure can affect a cluster, the Alpha 1024 isolates nozzles for consistent output.

✔ Extreme Speed: Up to 260 sqm/hr

A 30 kHz firing frequency and 25pl drop size combine for genuine high-speed industrial output. This printer printhead drastically cuts production times for large outdoor banners and vinyl rolls.

✔ 1024 Nozzles & Dual-Colour Modes

Prints at a sharp 360 dpi in single-colour mode or 180 dpi in dual-colour mode from the exact same inkjet printhead, offering superior flexibility over single-path hp printer head architectures.

✔ Three Drop Size Variants (L, M, S)

Choose the α 1024-L (25pl) for maximum speed, the α 1024-M (15pl) for balanced production, or the α 1024-S (5pl) for ultra-fine detail—giving you more hardware options than a fixed-drop i3200 epson.

✔ Built-In Heater & Broad Ink Support

Features an integrated heater to support oil-based, UV, solvent, and water-based inks. This ensures optimal viscosity and prevents nozzle clogging regardless of the digital printing ink chemistry used.

✔ Warranty & Lifetime Technical Support

Backed by a 1-year warranty on boards and motors. Includes lifetime free technical support, installation guidance, and optional global door-to-door training for your maintenance team.

Alpha 1024 Printhead FAQ

The Alpha 1024 industrial inkjet printhead is primarily used in high-speed solvent printer machines for the production of outdoor banners, vinyl stickers, vehicle wraps, and large-scale advertising materials where high throughput is critical.

The i3200 epson and standard hp printer head are designed for light-duty, scanning-based desktop or mid-format printers using low-viscosity inks. The Alpha 1024 is a heavy-duty printer printhead built for continuous, high-speed industrial solvent printing. It offers a much larger 72mm print width, an integrated heater for aggressive solvents, and independent nozzle architecture that a standard epson print head lacks.

The difference lies in the droplet size. The α 1024-L uses a 25pl drop size at 30 kHz for maximum speed (up to 260 sqm/hr). The α 1024-M (15pl) and α 1024-S (5pl) run at 35 kHz for finer detail, smoother gradients, and higher resolution output. Your choice depends on whether your priority is raw production speed or image quality.

Powered by its 1024 nozzles, 30 kHz firing frequency, and 25pl drop size (on the L variant), the Alpha 1024 inkjet printhead can achieve print speeds of up to 260 square meters per hour, making it one of the fastest solutions in its class for outdoor vinyl production.

The Alpha 1024 features a built-in heater and supports a wide viscosity range, making it compatible with oil-based inks, UV-curable inks, aggressive solvent inks, and water-based inks. This versatility makes it a superior choice for industrial environments compared to restricted cartridge-based systems.
