Seiko Instruments’ printhead division will unveil its highly anticipated 600 dpi printhead – RCE2560 – at drupa 2024. The RCE2560 stems from its groundbreaking combination of 600 dpi resolution, true recirculation, isolated channel technology, and integrated next-generation waveform controllers. This amalgamation of cutting-edge features ensures unparalleled printing performance and efficiency.

With 2560 strategically distributed nozzles across four rows over a printing width of 108.3 mm, the RCE2560 delivers exceptional printing performance within a compact footprint. The recirculation system facilitates a uniquely high flow rate directly behind the nozzles, resulting in superior print quality and consistency.

One of the key highlights of the RCE2560 is its versatility, offering multiple grey levels with a drop volume range from 9 to 20 pl along with the possibility to accommodate various fluid types, including aqueous, solvent-, oil-, or UV-based inks.

After undergoing extensive long-term testing under real conditions, equipped with the latest generation of waveforms, the RCE2560 is ready to conquer new markets with confidence.

Visitors to People & Technology’s Stand C30 in Hall 5 will have the exclusive opportunity to witness the RCE2560 in action. Tailored for the textile and corrugated cardboard markets, the RCE2560 promises to captivate audiences with its performance.

Seiko Instruments aims to expand its reach beyond traditional markets like ceramics, coding and marking, and packaging, leveraging the RCE2560 to explore new opportunities. Collaborating with innovative partners, Seiko Instruments is committed to paving the way for sustainable solutions in diverse industries.

In addition, People & Technology will also demonstrate its complete fleet of machines such as the variants of the Inktester, the Backtrack, the Smart Cleanjector and a plethora of other machines. All these machines are also equipped with the different models of the real recirculation printhead, which Seiko Instruments brought into the market. Established in the market for almost 10 years now, RC1536 has been constantly improved and fine-tuned to the ever-changing challenges of the markets. Be it for the compatibility with water-based inks or the introduction of the stainless-steel nozzle plate to perform in challenging environmental conditions and much more.
