Genuine New Emerald QE-256/80 AAA

Product Overview

The Genuine New Emerald QE-256/80 AAA printhead is a high-performance, original industrial piezoelectric drop-on-demand (DoD) jetting assembly manufactured by Fujifilm Dimatix / Spectra. Engineered for heavy-duty commercial and industrial inkjet applications, the Emerald QE-256/80 AAA combines proven jetting reliability with advanced flexibility to produce consistent print quality across wide-format graphics and industrial fluid deposition systems.

Featuring 256 individually addressable inline nozzles arranged in a single row at 100 dots-per-inch (dpi) spacing, the Emerald QE-256/80 AAA supports resolutions up to 450 dpi. The assembly operates using an 80 picoliter (80 pL) nominal drop size with nominal drop velocities of 8 meters per second when jetting fluids in the 10 to 14 centipoise (cP) viscosity range. Powered by VersaDrop™ jetting technology, it offers unparalleled versatility with both binary drop adjustment (80 pL to 200 pL) and multi-level grayscale modes.

Built with a field-proven metal nozzle plate, the printhead ensures precise drop placement accuracy and physical durability. Its low wetted surface area, dual-ported manifold design, integrated temperature sensor, and OEM-accessible non-volatile memory make it an optimal drop-in replacement for high-demand production environments.

Technical Specifications

Operational Advisory & Installation Guidelines

• Trained Service Technician Required: Mounting, mechanical alignment, voltage calibration, and fluid line connections must strictly be completed by qualified printer technicians.
• Electrical Power Isolation: Always turn off system main power and disconnect carriage driver electronics before attaching or removing ribbon cables to prevent mainboard shorting.
• Electrostatic ESD Protection: Wear grounded anti-static ESD wrist straps during handling to shield internal piezo actuators and logic circuits from static discharge.
• System Priming & Filtration: Thoroughly flush ink supply lines with approved cleaning fluid and replace inline filters prior to connecting the new printhead to avoid immediate channel contamination.
• Non-Returnable Electronic Item Policy: Installed, unsealed, or ink-primed printheads cannot be returned or refunded due to chemical contamination risks and strict electronic safety regulations.
