Epson XP600 / F1080 Printhead

Genuine Epson XP600 / F1080-A1 DTF Printhead

Upgrade or restore your DTF printer with a Genuine Epson F1080-A1 printhead, commonly known throughout the DTF industry as the Epson XP600 printhead. With 1,080 nozzles, six ink channels, variable-size droplet technology, and a compact 1-inch effective print width, the XP600 / F1080 has become one of the most widely used printheads in desktop and professional DTF printing systems.

Unlike a standard F1080 printhead originally configured to accept ink cartridges, this printhead has been professionally modified with a damper-ready manifold for use in compatible DTF printer ink delivery systems. The printhead has also been sealed with silicone around key areas to help minimize the risk of electrical damage from accidental ink or liquid exposure, making it better suited to the demanding environment of DTF production.

Why Choose the Epson XP600 / F1080-A1?

• 1,080-Nozzle Architecture: Six rows of 180 nozzles provide a strong balance of print quality, production speed, and affordability for DTF printing.
• Six-Channel Ink Capability: Supports up to six ink channels, making the XP600 well suited to common DTF configurations using CMYK and white ink.
• Variable Droplet Technology: Multiple droplet sizes help produce detailed images, smoother tonal transitions, and accurate ink placement.
• Popular DTF Platform: The XP600 / F1080 is widely used across 13-inch, 14-inch, and other compact-to-professional DTF printer platforms from numerous manufacturers.
• Damper-Ready DTF Modification: The original cartridge-style manifold has been replaced with a manifold designed to accept compatible DTF dampers and continuous ink delivery systems.
• Added Liquid Protection: Key areas of the printhead are additionally sealed with silicone to help minimize the risk of electrical damage caused by accidental ink or liquid exposure.
• 1-Inch Effective Print Width: The 25.4 mm effective printing width allows manufacturers to use one or multiple XP600 printheads depending on the printer's desired speed and ink configuration.
• Genuine Epson Printhead: Built around an authentic Epson F1080-A1 printhead rather than an aftermarket replacement.

Before Replacing Your Printhead

Before replacing your printhead, consider cleaning and maintenance first. XP600 / F1080 printheads can develop partially clogged or missing nozzles as a result of dried ink, sediment, white-ink buildup, or routine use, and in many cases proper cleaning and maintenance may help restore print performance without immediately replacing the head. Regular preventative maintenance can also help extend printhead life and reduce costly production 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 DTF printer and printhead performing at their best.

Always power the printer down according to the manufacturer's service procedure before disconnecting or installing electronic components. Printhead cables, dampers, connections, and surrounding components should also be inspected before installation, as damaged or contaminated components can affect printhead operation.
