Epson unveils next-generation PrecisionCore technology for its printheads

Epson recently unveiled its PrecisionCore inkjet printhead technology, a collective term that encompasses technology for printheads that feature Epson’s unique thin-film piezoelectric (TFP) elements. At the heart of this technology is the recently developed PrecisionCore MicroTFP print chip.

Epson formerly used thin-film piezoelectric printheads exclusively for commercial large-format printers. Now, however, after an extensive research and development effort, the company is able to use TFP printheads across its product line, from industrial presses to office printers.

One of the unique features that sets these print chips apart is their outstanding scalability, a product of their compactness, and high performance. These modular chips can be combined in different ways to build a variety of printheads, from lineheads for industrial label presses to serial printheads for desktop document printers.
