2.5pl drop size allows excellent print quality without graininess.With 1,280 nozzles configured in 4 x 150dpi rows, this head achieves high-resolution 600dpi printing. Additionally, the ink paths are isolated, enabling a single head to jet up to two ink colors.

Support for grey-scale

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

  • *Although controls for up to 4 scales are provided, actual jetting depends on ink characteristics.

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.

Support for different inks

With its built-in heater, these heads are capable of jetting high-viscosity inks. Additionally, the ink path is isolated from the actuator (piezo elements) , i.e. no ink contact.

Variable drop volume capability

Ricoh's open waveform policy allows tailored multi-drop printing of between 2.5 - 9pl, enabling high quality grayscale printing.
