The Ricoh Gen5i printhead is an enhanced industrial inkjet printhead built on the proven reliability of the Gen5 platform, offering improved ink compatibility and optimized performance for single-pass and scanning printing systems. With 1,280 nozzles (4 x 320) and native 600 dpi resolution, it delivers high-speed, high-precision output using variable drop sizes from 7 to 21 picoliters.
Compared to the original Gen5, the Gen5i supports a broader range of inks — including UV-curable, solvent, oil-based, and water-based — making it more versatile for diverse applications such as labels, packaging, signage, textiles, and decorative printing. It features internal ink recirculation to minimize clogging and maintain consistent print quality over extended use.
