Ricoh Gen5 MH5420 (CABLE:500mm )PRINTHEAD N221414L

The Ricoh Gen5 MH5420 is one of the most widely adopted industrial piezo printheads in the digital printing market, trusted by leading printer manufacturers for its reliability, durability, and excellent print quality. This 500mm long-cable version (Ricoh part number N221414L, connector included) is built for UV-curable and solvent inks, making it the go-to choice for UV flatbed, roll-to-roll, and high-speed single-pass industrial printers.
