This is a replacement ink damper for Epson i3200 printheads, the same part we fit to our own DTF printers. The damper sits on top of the head, one per ink channel, and does two things: a fine mesh filters particles out of the ink before they reach the nozzles, and the flexible chamber buffers pressure so the channel keeps a steady supply as the carriage moves.
Dampers wear out. The mesh loads up with pigment, especially on white ink, the membrane stiffens, and the channel starts to starve: nozzle checks that are fine after a clean and fail again an hour later, light bands in solid white, or a channel that pulls air. Many shops replace the set every three to six months as routine maintenance; sooner on white, later on the colors.
An i3200 head takes four dampers. Because they age together and the swap takes the same time either way, most shops replace all four at once and keep a spare set on the shelf. Sold each, so order four per head.
Fits Epson i3200 A1, E1 and U1 printheads in DTF printers. Ships from our Kansas warehouse within 24 hours on business days.
