Epson L805 / L800 13-Pin Printhead

Restore your compatible printer with an Epson L805 / L800-series 13-pin printhead. Built around Epson's proven Micro Piezo printhead technology, this compact six-channel printhead is widely used in Epson L805/L800-based printers as well as a variety of converted and purpose-built DTF, DTG, UV, and specialty printing systems.

The most important identifier for this version is its 13-pin cable connection. It is a direct replacement for compatible L805/L800-family printer engines using the 13-pin configuration, and it can also be used with certain Epson L1800/1390-based systems that have been properly retrofitted with DTGPRO's BRIDGE-L805-PH adapter. With six ink channels, 540 total nozzles, and variable-sized droplets as small as 1.5 pl, this printhead offers the fine detail and versatile ink-channel architecture that made the L805 platform popular for specialty printing applications.

IMPORTANT ? VERIFY 13-PIN VS. 9-PIN BEFORE ORDERING

This listing is specifically for the Epson L805/L800-style 13-pin printhead. It should not be confused with the standard Epson L1800/1390 9-pin printhead, which uses a different cable connection.

If your printer is based on an L1800/1390 engine, this 13-pin head should only be used if your machine has already been converted for an L805 printhead or is being converted using the proper bridge adapter and cables.

Please inspect your existing printhead connection and printer configuration before ordering.

Before Replacing Your Printhead

Before replacing your printhead, consider cleaning and maintenance first. L805/L800 printheads can develop partially clogged or missing nozzles due to dried ink, sediment, white-ink buildup, UV ink buildup, or routine use. In many cases, proper cleaning and maintenance may help restore print performance without immediately replacing the printhead. Regular preventative maintenance can also help extend printhead life and reduce costly downtime. For a selection of popular, professional-grade and potentially head-saving products, explore our DTF Cleaning & Maintenance Solutions, including cleaners, flushing solutions, maintenance fluids, cleaning swabs, and other products designed to help keep your printer and printhead performing at their best.

Always power the printer down according to the manufacturer's service procedure before disconnecting or installing the printhead, cables, bridge adapters, or other electronic components.

Compatibility Notice: Printer manufacturers and specialty-printer builders may revise printhead, cable, bridge-board, and mainboard configurations during a model's production life. Compatibility references are provided as a guide only. Always verify that your existing printer uses the 13-pin Epson L805/L800-style printhead before ordering. If you are unsure which printhead your printer uses, contact DTGPRO with your printer brand, model, and a photo of the existing printhead connection and cables for assistance.

WARNING: WARNING: WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA and use Protective Equipment (including masks and gloves) when working with specialty printing and curing products and processes (including DTF, DTG, UV etc.) as fumes and processes may be hazardous. We highly recommend the use of a fume extractor when working with DTF powder in addition to good ventilation and filtration in your work area. The use of all specialty ink printing equipment and supplies such as inks, chemicals, powders etc. are at the sole risk of the user. Specialty inks and film require a good humidity and temperature environment (55% - 75% humidity, and 75° to 80°F) to minimize risk of ink clogs and film buckling.
