Recently, I received a few customers asking which print head is better for the machine, whether it is from Epson or Ricoh. Now let’s simply compare the print heads used on the 6090 UV machine:Recently, I received a few customers asking which print head is better for the machine, whether it is from Epson or Ricoh. Now let’s simply compare the print heads used on the 6090 UV machine:
Epson i3200 print head
1. Epson: This is the mainstream of the nozzles equipped on the 6090. From TX800, XP600, DX7, 4720, i3200, etc., the first two nozzle models do the most, because the cost performance is high, the nozzles are cheap, and the cost of replacement and maintenance in the later stage is low. DX7 nozzles Only a few manufacturers do with 6090 machine. The advantage of 4720 print head is fast speed, but because it needs to be equipped with a decryption card, the decryption card also has a lifespan. Maybe your print head can still be used, but the matching decryption card is broken and needs to be replaced. , Finally, the i3200 printhead is the darling of the printhead industry recently. The printhead parameters are the same as the 4720, but the licensed printhead officially released by Epson has better printing speed than the 4720 in all aspects, and is used by more and more customers and manufacturers. Come to launch new models and updates, and the price of the print head also appears to be out of stock.

2. Ricoh: The GH2220 small printhead is mostly used, and the number of nozzles is 384. According to the market and customer usage, the printing speed is much slower. According to actual customer feedback, a piece of A3 crystal white color varnish is used. It takes 15 minutes for the same output. The biggest advantage of this nozzle is that the inkjet distance is longer, which is about 3mm different from most nozzles. The manufacturer has done a good job of technical matching and can achieve a spray distance of 8mm or even higher. As for G5 or G6 The nozzle is equipped with the 6090 and it is a customized model.
Ricoh GH2220 print head
The ink dot size of Ricoh g5i print head is 3.5pL, which is the first mode among domestic manufacturers. The nozzle ink holes are used to the maximum extent, so the embossing feeling will be stronger, and the printing speed is one third slower than that of Epson I3200 uv print head. The accuracy can also reach 3.5PL. The number of nozzle holes is 1280, the printing jet force is large, and I like it with high drop. The price is similar to the I3200, about 6500 yuan. These two nozzles are dedicated to UV. There are four colors on one head, and one head has this color The four colors are all played out. It can be used for two or three years, and the overall cost is relatively low. However, it is only suitable for models below 1216. If it is used for large models, there is no advantage in printing speed, but for large machines like 2513 or above, Ricoh G5 and G6 print heads can be used.

What nozzle is good for UV printer? To sum up and compare the machines with these several nozzle configurations, Epson XP nozzle is the first choice for small batch printing, considering the cost-effectiveness, i3200 nozzle for the pursuit of speed and output, and G5i nozzle for the product with high and low drop.
