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.
