Chix22 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Have anyone experience with replacing printhead in these models. All printhead of these model are DX5 and same structure and mechanism, but I not sure how Epson locked it? I asked my friend from Vietnam, they confirm that P400 can use R1900, R2000, R2880 printhead. is that true for printer in US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the p600, I have used various other printheads from p600s 5 years older, and p800s. Some p600s were sold overseas and imported in the us, and those heads worked too. I know Epson has unlocked, 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I have never encountered a compatibility issue, but I’m told and was warned multiple times that it exists. If you look at your current printhead, within the serial number on it ( you can view the serial with wicreset too) it will tell you which one is currently in your printer, and maybe that would help. sorry I don’t have a definitive answer, I never got one either. I just went with it, and it worked out fine. However, I have never bought a printhead outright. I buy the compatible new/used/refurbished printer and just pull the head from that and store/ sell the excess components, doing that I have been fine.

R2000 is standart dx5 printhead, not sure about other 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chix22 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I tested, P400 can only use original P400 printhead - part #FA24000. P600-P800-R3000 use the same printhead. Thank all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrintHead Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 If a P400 can only use original P400 printhead - part #FA24000, can you do the other way, an R2000 using a P400 printhead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can boot, it can print, but it will not work. Sometimes they just show an error immediately , sometimes they just give you terrible print issues and tons of errors unrelated until you change the head back.

It’s a variation of the dx5, but doesn’t work in anything else. you need one of those expensive out of production printheads. The gray dx5’s suck for DTF from my experience, which I think is in the R1900, it was in my r1800 and R2400 and both never printed DTF ink correctly, just standard ink. good luck Edited August 24, 2022 by johnson4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Es una variación del dx5, pero no funciona en ningún otro. necesita uno de esos costosos cabezales de impresión fuera de producción. Según mi experiencia, la dx5 gris apesta para DTF, que creo que está en la R1900, estaba en mi r1800 y R2400 y ambas nunca imprimieron tinta DTF correctamente, solo tinta estándar. buena suerte yo he tenido 4 r2400 con dtf y me ha dado muy buenos resultados el problema que tengo ahora que los cabezales están descatalogados por lo que estoy mirando como puedo usarlas pero no encontré nada todavía, había leído que se pueden poner unas placas para poder usar cabezales dx5 de su hermanas mayores pero no se que tal funcioan..

I’m not aware of any, they only have “adapters” for different versions of the dx5 which has been discontinued for some time so any variation you need will be very expensive. If your talking about replacing the nozzle plate, I’ve never found anyone successfully doing that long term. Sorry, I just moved on and tossed all that stuff So I don’t know much about them. I have a like new Chinese printer that uses dx5 heads going in the dumpster later next week. Too expensive with plenty of other cheaper options.

P600 printhead F196030 can be used for below too but not for P800. same goes for for R2000 R1900 etc. But p400 head is completely diffirent.

P800 head works in p600, but p600 head won’t work in P800 from real world use. Rest I’m unsure of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does this mean the printhead from the R3000 would work in the P800? I think i wrecked my P800 with a head strike. Could I swap a printhead from a R3000 into it?

Unlikely, they lock their printheads or make small changes so you can’t. the reason the P800 works in the P600 is because it’s the same generation, and the P800 is larger than the P600, so it uses a more versatile head. Or just the “ 17”l version. The P600 head is locked to not work in the P800 head, it’s the cheaper 13” version lrinter. it prevents people from buying the printer, pulling the head, and tossing it for less than buying a head for a larger format machine. take the Epson F2100 for example. Uses the exact same head as the P5000. Yet, it’s $1,000 more. Profits. you could always try, but it’s very unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowsugga Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 This makes sense. Hopefully I can bring my p800 back to proper working order after the head strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
