Encoder Strip 180-15-1000 for P230U UV DTF Printer Systems
The Encoder Strip 180-15-1000 is a high-precision replacement raster scale designed for compatible Direct-to-Film (DTF) and UV DTF printing systems, including the P230U UV DTF printer. It works with the printer’s carriage sensor to provide the positioning coordinates needed to track printhead movement and support accurate ink placement.
With a resolution of 180 LPI/DPI, a width of 15 mm, and a total length of 1000 mm, this semi-clear PET film strip is engineered for printer configurations that require these exact specifications. Accurate carriage-position feedback helps maintain consistent alignment and regulated carriage movement, which may reduce positioning-related problems such as ghosting, text distortion, double-printing, image shifting, and horizontal banding.

Cleaning and Maintenance
If the printer begins producing shifted or doubled images, carefully inspect the encoder strip for dust, ink mist, or other contamination. Gently wipe the strip with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Avoid hard scrubbing, excessive pressure, or abrasive materials, as these may damage or remove the printed timing marks.
Compatibility Notice
This encoder strip is not universally compatible with all DTF or UV DTF printers. Before ordering, confirm that your equipment requires part number 180-15-1000 and verify the 180 LPI/DPI resolution, 15 mm width, and 820 mm length.
