RICOH launches new industrial inkjet printheads

RICOH Company has announced the launch of a newly developed industrial-grade inkjet printheads–RICOH MH5422, RICOH MH5442 and RICOH MH5422 Type A. The printheads support all inks like UV, water-based and solvent, providing high image quality and productivity by utilising RICOH’s high-precision technology, said a release from the company. They feature a wide range of ink compatibility and improved durability through enhanced nozzle surface abrasion resistance. RICOH has also improved system compatibility by applying separate cables and high-precision surface alignment features.

These printheads are positioned as an enhanced addition to the RICOH MH5320/5340 product family, the sixth generation of RICOH inkjet printheads released in 2019. The new printheads inheriting the sixth generation’s technology, enable users to select the inkjet printheads that are most compatible with their needs. Customers using the existing RICOH MH5420/5440 (released in 2012) and RICOH MH5421/5441 (released in 2017) can easily upgrade their printers to this printhead while maintaining existing print quality with the same droplet volume.
