StarFire™ SG1024/LA2Ci Printhead

The StarFire™ SG1024/LA2Ci is a compact, self-contained unit built to withstand demanding industrial textile and other applications. It uses field proven materials to deliver consistent output over a long service life with continuous ink re-circulation and two-color operation at 200 dots-per-inch. Equipped with a single replaceable metal nozzle plate that is designed to withstand abrasion and resist damage. The unit is compatible with solvent, UV-curable and aqueous ink formulations.

Each SG1024/LA printhead has two separate ink paths each with 512 independent channels arranged in 4 rows in a single nozzle plate for resolutions up to 200 dpi. All 1024 nozzles can be fired. We recommend to change the head cables when installing a new printhead.

The StarFire™ SG1024/LA2CI and SG1024/LA2C are the same printheads.
