Ricoh Co., Ltd. released three types of inkjet print heads “RICOH MH5422”, “RICOH MH5442” and “RICOH MH5422Type A” in Tokyo on March 16, which is the core component of industrial digital printing systems. These 3 print head products will be available worldwide from now on.
Ricoh G6+ / G6 Plus is more suitable for Roll to Roll than Ricoh G6. It is mainly used on roll to roll machines at present, and its print coverage is better than Ricoh G6.
Ricoh’s unique high-precision processing technology is utilized in the new printhead to achieve high-quality printing effects while ensuring high output. In addition, the new printhead has a wide range of ink compatibility, and its durability has been improved by strengthening the wear resistance of the nozzle surface.
Besides, the system adaptability in the new print heads is also improved through the pluggable connection line and the high-precision plane calibration effect.
As an upgraded product that inherits the latest technology of Ricoh’s sixth-generation print head “RICOH MH 5320/5340” (launched in 2019), it can meet various demands and provide customers with a wider range of print head choices.
In addition, customers using “RICOH MH 5420/5440” (released in 2012) and “RICOH MH 5421/45441” (released in 2017) printheads will be able to upgrade to the new generation of printhead while maintaining the original ink droplet size.
Some machine factories have been developing machines with this printhead since May, but not many. From around April 2023, the Ricoh G6 price has risen wildly. And many factories don’t have Ricoh G6 in stock, the supply is tight.
