Q1 1900mm Dual Mode Quartz Stone Industrial Inkjet Printer

Overview

HOPETECH Q1 series artificial stone printers are industrial-grade digital printing systems designed for decoration manufacturing. The lineup includes three models: Q1-K8, Q1-K24, and Q1-M24, all featuring a 1900mm maximum printing width. Equipped with Kyocera or Epson printheads, these machines support both high-definition and high-speed printing modes. With output ranging from 80 m²/h (Q1-K8 4-pass precision mode) to 799 m²/h (Q1-K24 1-pass high-speed mode), the Q1 series adapts effortlessly to both custom sample development and large-scale industrial manufacturing. The equipment works with reactive, disperse, acid, and pigment inks, enabling printing on engineered stone and over ten other substrate types. Powered by three-phase 380VAC, the standardized 2500×4450×1850mm chassis weighs 2900kg, delivering consistent output for industrial production environments.

Key Features and Advantages

Premium Printhead Configuration for Precise Color Output

The Q1 series offers versatile printhead configurations, including Kyocera EX600RC / KJ4B series and Epson S3200. Choose between the 8-head setup (Q1-K8) for lower initial investment or 24-head setups (Q1-K24 / Q1-M24) for up to 2.5× higher throughput (up to 799 m²/h), perfect for scaling production.

Dual-Mode Intelligent Switching for Flexible Production Control

Built-in high-definition and high-speed printing modes allow on-the-fly adjustment based on order requirements. The 24-head configurations (Q1-K24 & Q1-M24) deliver a peak output of up to 799 m²/h in 1-pass mode for high-volume production, while maintaining a precision output of 227 m²/h in 4-pass mode. For small-to-medium batch customization, the 8-head model (Q1-K8) offers a steady 80–330 m²/h output, ensuring maximum efficiency across all business scales.

Full Ink Compatibility for Diverse Processes

The printers support all major ink types without requiring hardware modifications. They achieve direct high-adhesion printing on engineered stone surfaces without additional pretreatment. This capability allows manufacturers to expand into different process scenarios using existing equipment, reducing capital investment and increasing production flexibility.

Industrial-Grade Stability for Continuous Production

The 3-phase 380VAC power supply delivers stable 10kW output, paired with a heavy-duty chassis designed for 24/7 operation. Recommended maintenance consists of a 72-hour shutdown inspection involving nozzle cleaning and ink filter replacement, with each session taking approximately 30 minutes. This minimizes production downtime for manufacturing facilities.

Broad Media Compatibility Expands Business Applications

Beyond engineered stone, the Q1 series prints on cotton, linen, silk, wool, polyester, nylon, blended materials, and transfer paper. This versatility allows decoration businesses to diversify their product offerings into home textiles and personalized customization, responding quickly to changing market demands.
