F187000 vs Other Epson DX5 Variants — Which Head Do You Need?
| Part Number | Ink Type | Lock Status | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| F187000 (this listing) | Water-based | No encryption (unlocked) | Robustelli Monna Lisa, Graphics One GO Salsa, Anajet FP-125 |
| F186010 / F186000 | Eco-solvent / mild solvent | Uncoded | Chinese eco-solvent wide-format printers |
The F187000 is specifically for water-based dye and pigment ink systems — it should not be used with eco-solvent, solvent, or UV inks. For eco-solvent Chinese printers, the correct head is the uncoded F186010/F186000. Always confirm your printer's required head code before ordering.
Recommended — Replace Head Cables at the Same Time
Always replace head data cables when fitting a new F187000. Installing a new head on worn cables is the leading cause of premature DX5 failure. Contact our team for compatible head cables for your printer model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between F187000 and F186000/F186010?
The F187000 is the water-based version — designed for water-based dye and pigment inks in professional OEM systems like Robustelli Monna Lisa, Graphics One GO Salsa, and Anajet FP-125. The F186010/F186000 is the eco-solvent uncoded version — designed for eco-solvent and mild solvent inks in Chinese wide-format printing systems. Using the wrong head for your ink type will permanently damage the printhead. Always confirm your printer's specified head code before ordering.
What does "No Encryption" mean on the F187000?
The F187000 is an unlocked printhead — it is not locked to a specific OEM firmware and is compatible with the range of professional OEM-licensed printers listed above. This distinguishes it from Epson's locked desktop/consumer printheads which only work in designated Epson machines. It does not mean the head can be used in any printer — it must still be used in printers that specify the F187000 specifically.
Can I use the F187000 in a Robustelli Monna Lisa printer?
Yes — the F187000 is the correct printhead for the Robustelli Monna Lisa 160, 180, and 320 series (both HT12 and TM12 configurations). It is the standard DX5 head used in these professional textile sublimation printing systems. Always confirm your specific Monna Lisa model configuration with your service documentation before ordering.
Should I replace cables when fitting the F187000?
Yes — always replace head data cables when installing a new DX5 printhead. Worn cables cause connection faults that can damage the new head even when correctly installed. Contact our team for the correct cable set for your printer model.
Do you ship Epson DX5 F187000 printheads to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American professional textile and DTG print shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
