Head Print 203 dpi (8 DPMM) TG308 SATO R14222000

R14222000 SATO Print Head 203 dpi – Performance and clarity for TG308

R14222000 Print Head 203 dpi (8 DPMM) is the original SATO print head, specifically designed for the TG308 model of the TG3 Series . This essential component ensures accurate printing, legible barcodes and consistent performance in retail and logistics applications.

The print head is the “heart” of the printer. Without a print head in perfect condition, even the most high-performance printer cannot deliver quality results.

203 dpi (8 DPMM) resolution – Perfect balance between speed and clarity

With a resolution of 203 dpi (8 dots per mm) , this print head is ideal for:

• Retail price tags
• Product markdown
• Standard logistics labels
• 1D barcodes (EAN, UPC, Code 128)
• Medium-sized 2D codes

The 203 dpi resolution offers an excellent ratio between print speed and quality, making it the optimal choice for high-volume applications.

Guaranteed compatibility

Model R14222000 is exclusively compatible with:

• SATO TG308 (203 dpi)
• TG3 Series Printers – DPMM version 8

It is important to choose the correct print head (203 dpi vs 305 dpi) as they are not interchangeable between models.

Why choose a genuine SATO printhead?

Using an original OEM component offers multiple benefits:

• 100% compatibility with manufacturer specifications
• Optimized lifespan
• Consistent print quality
• Printer mechanism protection
• Reducing the risk of scanning errors

A non-original print head can affect the clarity of barcodes and generate additional costs through reprints or returns.

Signs that the print head needs to be replaced

• Vertical white lines on labels
• Unprinted or faded areas
• Hard-to-scan barcodes
• Uneven print quality

Timely replacement of the print head prevents damage to other components, such as the platen roller.
