Additional Information
High-Resolution MEMS Printhead
The Ricoh TH5241 utilizes Ricoh's proprietary thin-film piezo silicon MEMS technology to deliver exceptional image quality in a compact footprint. With 1,280 nozzles arranged across four rows, the printhead produces crisp, high-definition output at resolutions up to 1,200 dpi, making it suitable for demanding industrial printing applications.
Advanced Grayscale Printing
The integrated multi-drop technology combines multiple droplets before they reach the substrate, enabling variable drop sizes from 3 pl to 21 pl. This capability delivers smoother gradients, improved grayscale reproduction, and enhanced image quality across a variety of print applications.
Broad Ink Compatibility
Designed for maximum flexibility, the TH5241 supports UV-curable, solvent, and aqueous inks. This wide compatibility allows OEMs and printer manufacturers to deploy a single printhead platform across multiple industrial markets and printing technologies.
Compact Design for Easy Integration
With overall dimensions of only 52.7 × 45.8 × 55.4 mm and a lightweight 63 g construction, the TH5241 simplifies printer design while maintaining robust industrial performance. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained print systems.
Reliable Industrial Performance
Engineered for continuous industrial operation, the TH5241 features integrated temperature sensing, supports firing frequencies up to 40 kHz, and provides stable droplet formation across a wide range of production environments, ensuring consistent print quality and long-term reliability.
