Loading... Please wait...The Mimaki GEN5 Head Assy is a high-performance piezoelectric inkjet printhead designed for industrial and wide-format Mimaki printers. It is a critical component responsible for accurately ejecting ink onto the media to produce high-quality prints.
This printhead features high nozzle density and multi-channel capability, allowing precise ink placement, smooth color gradation, and sharp image reproduction. The GEN5 head supports grayscale printing, enabling variable droplet sizes for better detail, reduced grain, and improved color accuracy.
Built with durable materials and advanced piezo technology, the GEN5 Head Assy delivers high reliability, long service life, and stable performance, even during high-speed or continuous production. It is commonly used in UV, solvent, and textile Mimaki printers for professional and industrial printing applications.
