Ricoh GEN5 Printhead-MH5421F

This MH5421F Ricoh printhead offers high-resolution printing and support for multiple ink colors with multi-row nozzles, as well as enhanced aqueous ink compatibility with new bonding technology. We recommend to change the head cables when installing a new printhead.

Ink recirculating structure

Highly stable jetting performance is achieved through the introduction of a new recirculating structure. This structure enables continuous ink flow resulting in reducing the risk of jetting failure caused by either clogged ink or entrapped air bubbles. Each printhead has enhanced bonding technology for improved durability. With these new features, the RICOH MH5421F and MH5421MF printheads offer enhanced compatibility with a wider range of fluids. These features result in:

Increased reliability for single-pass printing by delivering improved print quality and productivity
Increased reliability for systems with rapid setting ink, such as pigment ink, white or metallic materials
Increased reliability for systems with fast drying ink
The removal of air bubbles in the ink chamber to achieve self-recovery from jetting failure

*Single-pass system : the printhead carriage remains in a fixed position and completes image printing in a single pass while the print material is conveyed underneath.

Support for gray-scale

Achieves excellent gray-scale rendering at up to 4 levels.

Excellent durability and extended service life

Ricoh inkjet print heads are made of stainless steel. These heads are highly robust and offer excellent anti-corrosion properties for multiple inks, resulting in excellent durability and extended service life.

Variable drop volume capability

The multi-drop capability allows the creation of a range of drop sizes enabling gray-scale printing.
