RICOH TH5241 Product Overview
Ricoh's 1st thin film piezo printhead, enabling high definition printing in a wide range of applications by compact package, ink compatibility and jetting stability.
Characteristics
High definition by Ricoh original MEMS technology
By using MEMS technology, Ricoh's unique design means the RICOH TH5241 is a compact printhead with 320 x 4 rows of 1,280 nozzles*. In addition, high-definition printing of up to 1,200 dpi can be achieved by jetting fine droplets.
-
*There are two sets of 600npi with a staggered arrangement of 300npi nozzles per row.
Greyscale expressions by multi-drop technology
RIOCH TH5241 supports multi-drop technology that controls drop volume by merging several droplets in flight before reaching a media surface. It enables greyscale expressions.
Ricoh original thin film piezo silicon MEMS technology.
Highly versatile
RICOH TH5241 is compatible with UV, Solvent and Aqueous based inks. This inkjet printhead can be used for various applications.
<Applications>
- Sign-Graphics
- Label
- Textiles
- DTG（Direct to Garment）
