Industrial Printhead Compatibility Chart
Not sure which printhead your machine takes, or what a used one is worth? This chart lists nozzles, ink type, typical use and common faults for the main industrial printheads — Epson i3200/DX5, Konica Minolta 512i/1024i, Ricoh Gen5, Kyocera KJ4A and more. Specs follow the manufacturer datasheet; used prices follow the live shop.

How to use: find your model by brand, then check the nozzle count and ink type match your machine — a head built for a different ink type is not interchangeable (a UV head will not run on an aqueous machine). "Common faults" helps you judge whether a used head is worth buying or repairing; for condition, see the grading standard.
