Description
Product details
The Rich Gen6 (16/24/32 Head) reference refers to large-format Direct Digital Textile Printing Machines configured with industrial Ricoh Gen6 (MH5320/MH5340) printheads. Manufacturers like KTL Digital Solutions build these high-speed industrial systems with modular head configurations (16, 24, or 32 heads) to scale up production speeds.System Configurations & PerformanceThe number of integrated Ricoh Gen6 heads directly dictates the machine's maximum output capacity:16-Head Configuration: Delivers an effective printing speed of up to 240 metres per hour.24-Head Configuration: Mid-tier production setup scaling beyond 16-head speeds.32-Head Configuration: High-volume industrial setup utilizing an automatic belt-cleaning system and magnetic suspension linear motors to handle maximum throughput without pattern deformation.Technical Specifications of the Core Ricoh Gen6 HeadIndustrial textile printers scale up using the Ricoh MH5320/MH5340 Gen6 platform, which offers distinct technical upgrades over previous generations:Nozzle Architecture: Every individual head houses 1,280 nozzles arranged in a 4 x 320 configuration.Resolution: Achieves a native hardware resolution of 600 dpi, scaling up to a maximum printing resolution of 2400 DPI through multi-pass machine systems.Droplet Precision: Fires a minimized 5pl (picoliter) droplet size in binary mode. It ranges up to 15pl–35pl in grayscale mode to prevent graininess and keep text sharp down to 0.1mm.Firing Frequency: Operates at a 50kHz drive frequency. This delivers a 30% speed efficiency boost over the 30kHz frequency of Gen5 heads.Ink Flow Volume: Pumps up to 57 ml of ink per minute at peak frequency (an 88% flow rate increase over Gen5), requiring automated negative pressure ink supply systems.Key Machine FeaturesMulti-Ink Compatibility: The isolated structure of the Gen6 head isolates the data cable and uses specialized bonding technology. This makes it compatible with reactive, dye, sublimation, pigment, acid, and UV inks.Industrial Motion Controls: To accurately handle 50kHz firing steps, the printer carriage moves at speeds up to 2.1 m/s. It is stabilized by active take-up/unwinding machinery to maintain fabric tension.Temperature Stability: Includes an integrated internal heater and thermistor to regulate ink viscosity up to an operating threshold of 60°C.If you are looking to purchase or configure a machine, let me know:Your target production output (in meters per day)The exact fabric type you will be printing onThe ink chemistry you intend to deploy (e.g., reactive, pigment, or sublimation)I can help you pinpoint the ideal head count and system footprint for your facility.AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses 17 sitesKTL Digital Solutions Pvt.
