This metal protective cover is designed for EP-8550 and XP-600-style printheads. It installs over the printhead core to protect the delicate nozzle plate surface while also helping distribute the clamping force applied by the mounting screws.

When the printhead core is fastened to the manifold, uneven screw pressure can place stress on specific areas of the printhead assembly. This rigid metal frame helps spread that pressure more evenly across the mounting surface, supporting proper alignment and reducing concentrated force around individual screw locations.

Key Functions

Protects the delicate nozzle plate surface from accidental contact, scratches, and handling damage
Helps distribute mounting pressure more evenly when securing the printhead core to the manifold
Supports stable positioning and alignment during printhead assembly
Useful for printhead rebuilding, manifold replacement, core replacement, and repair work
Durable metal construction for repeated service use

Compatibility

EP-8550 printheads
XP-600-style printheads

Package Includes
