Nozzle blockages can permanently ruin a printhead. The DX-5 Small is fitted with an integrated 5-to-10 micron micro-mesh screen that acts as a secure barrier—capturing microscopic dust particles, fibers, and dried ink flakes before they can ever enter the printhead channels.

The Damper Direct DX-5 Small is a compact, precision-engineered ink damper built specifically for space-constrained print carriage assemblies using Epson DX5 printhead technology. Situated directly between the ink delivery lines and the printhead intake needles, this small-form-factor damper acts as your primary line of defense for fluid delivery.
Molded from high-grade, chemically inert Polypropylene (PP), its scaled-down architecture provides exceptional negative-pressure stability. Despite its space-saving size, it houses a high-density filter screen that catches physical contaminants before they can settle into your delicate printhead channels.
