The Performa™ Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA printhead delivers   best-in-class jetting accuracy combined with versatile grayscale   operation. Its lightweight, thin-profile design and configurability plus   support for a broad range of ink formulations makes this printhead   model particularly suited to scanning printer architectures and   applications.
Dimatix continues building upon its long   history of excellent dot placement accuracy, channel-to-channel   uniformity, low cross talk, and high-frequency/high-productivity with   the Q-Class Sapphire printhead family. 

The Sapphire   QS-256/10 AAA printhead features 256 independent channels, arranged in  a  single row of nozzles at 100 dots-per-inch spacing. It is designed  to  eject adjustable 10 to 30 picoliter drops in binary jetting mode or a   10-picoliter fundamental drop in grayscale mode. This is done at a   nominal 8-meter per second drop velocity when jetting fluids in the 10   to 14 centipoise range. 

Dimatix' breakthrough   VersaDrop™ jetting technology is featured within the Sapphire QS-256/10   AAA printhead. It allows unparalleled flexible modes of operation   including adjustable binary drop size and grayscale capability at   unprecedented throughput rates. 

The rugged, field   proven material set selected for the Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA printhead   deliver long service life and consistent output.
Using   tailored waveforms and a durable, inert silicon nozzle plate to provide   best-in-class drop placement accuracy, a wide range of ink formulations   are accommodated including UV-curable, organic solvent and  aqueous-based  inks and associated maintenance fluids. 

Precision   registration points have been added to the printhead to provide   absolute  reference to the nozzles to within a few microns. This makes   it  possible to nest printheads together for high packing densities. 
Shared   physical features and identical interfaces as other Q-Class products  allow the Sapphire QS-256/10 AAA to be intermingled with the same or   complementary printhead models to create a multitude of single and   multiple-color configurations. 

Each 256-channel   Sapphire printhead is offered with an integral temperature sensor and a  configurable, dual-ported fluid interface comprised of O-ring face   mounts or barbed fittings to facilitate fast flushing or recirculation   of inks. 
Printhead operational temperature can be up to   90° C. The driver chip is double buffered to support the Sapphire   QS-256/10 AAA high-speed jetting capability
