Overview
This listing offers a used Seiko RC1536 recirculation printhead at a fraction of the new price. The RC1536 platform is the workhorse of digital ceramic decoration: 1536 nozzles, 108.3 mm swath, 360 npi, up to 10 grey levels and nozzle-level recirculation that continuously sweeps ink past the nozzles to prevent pigment settling and clogging. Our used units are cleaned, jet-tested and verified working — ideal for keeping a production line running while a new head is on order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a used printhead reliable?
Each unit is cleaned and jet-test printed before dispatch, and we document nozzle status at shipping. Used heads are ideal as emergency or backup heads; for maximum service life we recommend new or RCH (metal nozzle plate) versions.
What is tested before shipping?
Visual inspection, cleaning, ink fill and full jet-test print across all 1536 nozzles; recirculation function check. We can send the test print photo on request.
Can I return a used printhead?
Used printheads are sold as-is after functional verification. Please review the condition report and photos before ordering — our team will help you confirm compatibility first.
