  Brand New - Sato Compatible PrintheadsWe
represent the last American Manufacturer of Printheads. Yes, even Sato is
manufacturing their printheads overseas. Our American Made, Compatible Sato
Printhead will outlast an original Sato Printhead at a fraction of the price.
We believe in providing a quality product, providing a cost savings to our
clients, and saving American Jobs

Our Thermal Printhead vs the Sato Thermal Printhead.
-
Abrasive life of 100 kilometers for our printhead. Abrasive life of a Sato printhead may only be 10 kilometers.
-
Thermal life of 100 million pulses for our printhead.
Stated pulse life of a Sato print head is 50 million pulses.
-
Independent lab testing showed the resistance in our
thermal printhead will began to change after 330,000 inches. a Sato
printhead tested in identical lab conditions showed resistance change at
30,000 inches.
-
Our printhead is built for a 100% dot duty cycle.
Sato's
stated duty cycle is 90%. Our printhead duty cycle provides you with the
highest clarity, print accuracy, and reproduction available in a printhead.
-
Dot density up to 300 dpi (12 dpmm)
- Print speed up to 12 inches (305mm) per second
- Resistor line location (edge, near edge, etc.) Allows you to print at the
edge of your media.
-
Direct thermal or thermal transfer printhead.
How do we
achieve these results?
-
Our Printhead is built using a protective diamond
like carbon (DLC) coating. Our Diamond like coating provides a surface hardness
equivalent to Rockwell 85 to 90. The Diamond like coating will protect the
printhead when used in bar coding, ticket printing, thermal printing, printing
against ribbons, and printing using other abrasive media. The Sato printhead does
not use a protective coating.
-
Our Thermal Print head uses proprietary technology for connectivity and insulation. Our Compatible Sato printheads
uses insulating and resistive pastes which are screen printed onto a ceramic substrate.
The Sato Original Equipment Manufacturer printhead will use a pressure contact between the printed circuit board and ceramic substrate.
As a thermal printhead wears the value of resistance changes. A 15%
change in the value of resistance will result in the printhead being unable to print the required dot density. The printhead is now worn and
must be replaced. Our proprietary insulating paste allows for a reduction in the rate of resistance change versus pressure
contact technology.
Our thermal printhead will use Gold wire bond between
the printed circuit board and ceramic substrate. We believe the gold wire
bond provides for greater signal integrity and a longer life of the
printhead. A Sato thermal printhead will just use pressure contact and eliminate the gold wire bond. Gold
is an expensive conductor we believe works best in an abrasive print head
environment.
-
Our thermal print head uses a hard black epoxy and silicon
glass clear coating to protect the gold wire bonds and sensitive electronic
circuitry against moisture and harsh environments. The Sato thermal printhead will use
pressure contact without a coating.
-
Our thermal printhead incorporates the use of positive
temperature coefficient (PTC) and negative temperature coefficient (NTC)
thermistors for regulating temperature in the printhead. The PTC thermistor is
used to quickly bring the printhead up to operating temperature, increasing your
first time print cycle, and conserving energy. The NTC thermistor is used to
regulate the heat output which conserves energy and prolongs the life of the
printhead. Typically, the Sato printhead will not use the NTC and PTC
thermistors. This combination thermometer and resistor device is expensive.
- Our printhead will use Dot history control (DHC) for consistent print quality at
high speed
