Mimaki GEN5 Printhead M022626 Overview
This is the specific version of the GEN5 printhead family used for the JFX500-2131 (part number M022626). The same series also includes a very similar part number, M022625 (used for models such as the JFX200-2513). The two are easily confused, so take special care to distinguish between them when purchasing.
The Mimaki GEN5 Printhead (MH5440) is an original Ricoh-based printhead designed for Mimaki JFX500-2131 and UJV500-160 printers, as well as other supported models.

It is engineered with durable materials and integrated temperature control, ensuring excellent jetting stability, fine detail, and long service life (up to 100 billion actuations per nozzle).
