Ricoh GEN5 Compatible Printers

Resource Center › Compatibility Database

The Ricoh GEN5 is used in UV flatbed, UV roll-to-roll, and solvent industrial inkjet printers. Variant selection (UV vs solvent) is the most critical compatibility factor — the wrong variant will fail rapidly due to chemical incompatibility with the ink.

UV variant — compatible printers

The Ricoh GEN5 UV variant is used in UV flatbed and UV roll-to-roll printers from manufacturers including: Mimaki (UJF series, JFX series), Roland (LEF series), Mutoh (ValueJet UV), Epson (SureColor S-series UV), and many OEM-branded industrial flatbeds. The GEN5 is specified by the printer manufacturer — confirm the variant in your printer's service documentation before ordering.

Solvent variant — compatible printers

The Ricoh GEN5 solvent variant is used in industrial solvent and eco-solvent printers that specify the GEN5. Less common than the UV variant in the current market.

GEN5 vs GEN6 compatibility

GEN5 and GEN6 are not interchangeable — they use different control board interfaces and electrical specifications. A printer designed for GEN5 requires GEN5. Confirm the generation from your printer's service documentation before ordering.
