Epson Artisan 1430 Printhead: Industrial-Grade Precision for PLC Automation Systems
On this page
What is the F1730900030 printhead?
The F1730900030 is Epson's service printhead assembly for the six-colour photo printers built around the Stylus Photo / Artisan 1430 platform — Epson Stylus Photo 1390, 1400, 1410 and 1430 and the Artisan 1430 / Stylus Photo 1500W, as listed on the intake record. The shipping box states it plainly: Parts Code F1730900030, PRINT HEAD, COO CN, Qty 1. This listing's original title dressed it as PLC automation hardware; the photographed part corrects that — it is a piezo inkjet printhead, the component that fires the ink. One unit, factory-new, one-year warranty as recorded at intake on 18 April 2025. All seven photos and the inspection video below show this exact head.

What this head is for
A printhead is the one part of an inkjet printer that does the actual printing: a piezoelectric actuator per channel fires ink droplets through the nozzle plate onto the media. When a head clogs past recovery, or an actuator channel dies, the machine prints banding or drops a colour entirely — and on the 1430 platform the fix is this assembly, not a cleaning cycle. The part is the complete factory unit: the black plastic manifold with the six needle ports that mate to the ink-valve block, the QR-coded serial label Epson tracks the head by, and the piezo head itself sitting behind the bronze protective plate at the bottom face, ready to mount into the carriage with its two press plates. The gold-finger FPC connector on the side carries the head drive signals from the carriage board — one connector, keyed, so the swap is mechanical rather than a wiring job.
The box label is the parts-desk format: Parts Code F1730900030, PRINT HEAD, quantity 1, country of origin CN. For anyone servicing a 1390/1400/1430-series printer — photo labs and DTF/transfer shops keep these six-colour machines in service for years — this is the genuine assembly code the service manual lists, photographed from every face so the port row, the serial label and the nozzle-face protection are all verifiable before purchase.
