3.2.1 Printhead life
The printhead is capable of performing up to and beyond 4 billion (4x10
9
) drops within an approved
system utilising approved ink. This is a typical figure and subject to the use of a successful printhead
maintenance system.
Printhead life and performance is dependant on several key factors.
Materials compatibility of ink and system components.
Quality of printhead maintenance
System design and environmental conditions.
Although this document does not cover these factors extensively, many of these issues can be
discussed with your local sales engineering representative, who can provide further details and
guidance to help printhead integration.
