D3000-A1R, the series
Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson") has expanded its lineup of PrecisionCore printheads in response to an accelerated shift in the commercial and industrial sectors to digital printing, which produces less waste and offers a reduced environmental impact.1
Epson has developed three new printheads, including the D3000-A1R, the series' first product to support ink circulation at the nozzle level. The new printheads will be released in the second half of the 2021 fiscal year (ending March 2022). The lineup of inkjet heads now comprises five series, thus further expanding potential applications in digital printing.
The three new products will help accelerate the transition to low-waste, low environmental impact digital printing of things such as textiles, packages, and decorations. They will also facilitate distributed printing, allowing items to be produced locally, and on-demand printing, meaning that printers only produce what they need, when they need it.
The demand for digital printing with water-based ink has risen in recent years due to a desire to mitigate the environmental impact of printing. Epson will continue to develop original technology to contribute to the expansion of low environmental impact digital printing and further accelerate inkjet innovation.

1 Since digital printing is a shorter process than analog printing and does not require plates, it uses less electricity and water. It also produces very little waste ink. Digital printing is ideal for short-run print jobs and minimizes inventory loss at every step from production to sales.
2 Printing performance and head durability will differ depending on the type of ink used.
