The Gongzheng ThunderJet AQ1802S is a photo-quality, high-resolution eco-solvent printer designed for producing top-quality
backlit and frontlit applications. This printer handles standard eco-solvent ink-compatible materials up to 1.6m in width,
offering exceptional output for products where quality cannot be compromised. The 8-color configuration bridges the gap
between standard CMYK printing and true photographic quality, while maintaining significantly lower operational costs.
Compared to standard wide-format printers in its class, the AQ1602S is designed and built like a super-wide printer.
Its robust construction, use of high-quality materials, and precise manufacturing tolerances ensure superior stability,
print quality, and continuous operation. A no-compromise design philosophy guarantees the printer’s long operational life.
The AQ1602S utilizes Epson I3200-E1 PrecisionCore printheads, known for their high resolution, fine droplet size, precision,
and reliability. The dense nozzle array and inline printhead arrangement enable this printer to deliver maximum image quality.
Even in production-mode printing at lower resolutions, it maintains high-quality output.
The AQ1602S is a versatile tool, ideal for a range of applications. Its compact footprint, automated maintenance features,
affordable ink prices, low service needs, and fast return on investment (ROI) make it an excellent choice for businesses
looking to enhance quality and productivity.
Gongzheng’s legendary ink system for solvent printers has been further refined for this compact model.
The ink is efficiently supplied to two Epson I3200-E1 printheads, even at high consumption rates,
with minimal overspray and reduced frequency of auto-cleaning cycles.
The intelligent drying system ensures that prints are properly dried while maintaining minimal energy consumption.
