Hello Everyone,

For some part of my reprap project, I need to hack an inkjet printhead.

All the inkjet printheads that I have seen so far, have their nozzles set in a straight line. Nozzels are usually set in two or three straight lines and there is usually a huge gap between each line. For example:

Pic2

I was just wondering if anybody in this forum knows a printhead which has more lines and has much more nozzles which are stacked much closer to each other. I need a printhead that have much more packed nozzles. Something like:

Pic3

Pic4

I want nozzles to be close to each other. Preferably I want X and Y to be less than 0.5mm apart from each other.

If we don’t have such a thing, can I DIY such a thing myself? Can I have it customized outside?

Thanks for any suggestion,

silverbook Memjet has the nozzles much tigther than the epson ones you found. Most often high speed and high resolution specs will mean high density of nozzles. Hope I could help. Let us know how this project comes along. Good luck!
