Epson I3200 Hexagon Printhead Capping Station for DTF & UV Printers
The Epson I3200 Printhead Capping Station – Hexagon Design is a replacement maintenance component designed for compatible Direct-to-Film (DTF) and UV printing systems. When the printhead carriage returns to its home position, the capping station seals around the nozzle plate to help retain moisture, maintain vacuum, and reduce air exposure while the printer is idle.
The specialized internal hexagon structure is designed to distribute vacuum pressure across the cap-top surface while increasing the available sealing area. This supports more consistent contact with the printhead and helps the printer’s maintenance system perform suction, purge, and cleaning cycles. Proper capping may help reduce nozzle dry-out, ink evaporation, and clogging caused by an inadequate seal.

Maintenance and Compatibility Notice
Replacement timing may vary based on printer usage, ink type, cleaning frequency, and operating conditions. Inspect the cap top regularly for dried ink, loss of suction, seal wear, or reduced cleaning performance.
Printer configurations may use different mounting points, tubing sizes, and cap-top layouts even when they use the same printhead. Confirm the hexagon design, fitting size, physical dimensions, and carriage configuration before ordering. Contact Digital Print Supplies for assistance confirming compatibility.
