Spectra Polaris PQ-512/15 AAA

The Spectra Polaris PQ-512/15 AAA is a high-performance inkjet printhead designed for wide-format printing applications. Building upon the legendary reliability and performance of the Spectra Nova and Galaxy printheads, the Polaris PQ-512 AAA family of printheads uses field-proven materials and a repairable design to deliver a long service life and consistent output.
The Polaris PQ-512/15 AAA Printhead has 512 independent channels arranged in multiple rows at 200 dots-per-inch spacing for single colour operation, or 100 dots-per-inch spacing for two colour operation. The printhead is designed for binary jetting using a 15-picoliter native drop size with 8 meters per second nominal drop velocity for jetting fluids in the 8 to 20 centipoise range. Using VersaDrop jetting technology, the printhead is capable of adjustable binary operation at drop sizes up to 30 picolitres.

This printhead consists of two PQ-256/15 PL units and can be easily separated into individual PQ-256/15 PL heads if needed.
