📌 Notes:
All models support 8 nozzle rows and 3,200 nozzles.
HD models have higher physical profile (36.7 mm) and support 8 colors and 1,200 npi.
i3200-E1 shares dimensions and grayscale with i3200-A1 but is tuned for eco solvent viscosity (5–7 mPa·s).

How to Use This Table

1. Start with Ink Type

• Aqueous → i3200-A1 or i3200(8)-A1HD
• UV → i3200-U1 or i3200-U1HD
• Eco Solvent → i3200-E1

2. Then check Color Count

• Need 8 colors? → Only i3200(8)-A1HD or i3200-U1HD
• 4 colors or fewer? → All models are compatible

3. Then verify Resolution Needs

• 600 dpi → Standard models (A1, U1, E1)
• 1,200 dpi → HD models only

4. Finally, confirm Physical Fit

• If height clearance is tight, 35.6 mm (standard) vs 36.7 mm (HD) matters.
• HD models are also slightly deeper (59.5 mm vs 59.4 mm).
