Frequently Asked Questions

Will the new Samba cartridge be compatible with the current Dimatix Materials Printer?
Yes, the new Samba cartridge will be compatible with any DMP-2800 series printers. There is no form factor change from the legacy version and will fit right in your printer.

What software version of the Drop Manager will be needed in order to properly use the new cartridge?
Drop Manager version 3.2 or later will be needed for DMP-2850 printers and version 2.1 or later for DMP-2831 printers.

Can the same fluid and waveform that was used with the legacy cartridge also be used with the new Samba cartridge?
Like the Samba printhead, the ideal fluid viscosity needed for use with the new Samba cartridge is in the range of 4-8 cps. If the fluid viscosity is higher than 8 cps, increasing the jetting temperature (controllable with the DMP) may help to effectively lower its viscosity. The Samba cartridge waveform is recommended as a starting point for jetting optimization and is available for download in our Customer Hub.
