Additional Information

Maximizing Up-Time and Maintaining Print Quality

  • Powerful piezo delivers drop speeds of over 10 m/s, enabling printing gaps of more than 10 mm.
  • Stainless steel design delivers long life and industrial robustness, reducing downtime from maintenance and replacement.
  • Print quality optimized across a wide range of print modes — from small 6 pt text to large 1D and 2D codes, and full-height graphics.

Great Flexibility and Optimization Possibilities

  • At only 13 mm deep and 74 mm tall, compact size enables easy integration into space-constrained printers.
  • 108 mm print height ideal for standard label replacement, delivered through two closely packaged nozzle rows.
  • Each nozzle row supports a different color, providing two-color printing from a single printhead.
  • Continuous, closely aligned nozzle rows eliminate stitching zones and associated print errors.

Electrical Compatibility

  • Electrically compatible with Ricoh MH52/53/54 printhead models, enabling reuse of electronics and a wide selection of vendor options.
  • Use along with IO adaptor board for better compatibility.

Fluid Flexibility

  • Compatible with a wide range of inks: oil-based for porous materials, UV and solvent for non-porous materials.
  • Inks and fluids developed for Ricoh MH24/26/28xx printhead models are also compatible.

Multi-Zone Heater

  • Four internal heaters maintain uniform printhead temperature to ensure consistent print quality across all applications.
