Epson XP 600 Print Head Description
The Epson XP600, released around 2018, is a 6-channel printhead derived from the Epson F1080. Originally designed for water-based ink, it has become popular for use with eco-solvent, UV, and thermal transfer inks. It is currently one of the most cost-effective entry-level options in the UV and DTF printing markets. It is compatible with most Direct-to-Film (DTF) printer models. Although its image resolution and durability are limited, its low cost, easy installation, and wide compatibility make it the preferred choice for many small-format printing devices.
