Brand: Dimatix
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Availability: In stock
The Fujifilm Dimatix Samba G5L is a genuine original Si-MEMS single-pass industrial inkjet printhead — the higher-throughput, larger-drop generation of the Samba platform engineered for corrugated packaging and textile applications. With 2,048 individually addressable nozzles across a 43mm print width at 1,200 dpi native resolution, a 3.5 pl native drop size scaling to 13 pl maximum via VersaDrop multi-level grayscale, a firing frequency up to 100 kHz, and print speeds up to 150 m/min — the G5L delivers 30–45% larger drops than the G3L and 25% more productivity through its higher flow rate of 450 ng-kHz. RediJet continuous ink recirculation directly behind the nozzle enables fast priming and sustained uptime. The parallelogram nozzle plate design simplifies stitching for scalable printbar assembly at any width. Compatible with aqueous, latex, and solvent inks (UV not recommended). Every Samba G5L we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Fujifilm Dimatix — manufactured in Santa Clara, CA.

Target Applications
• Corrugated packaging — high-speed single-pass digital printing on corrugated board (BHS Corrugated RSR Printer, up to 300 m/min in double-row)
• Textile printing — direct-to-fabric or transfer at high speed with aqueous and disperse inks
• Commercial inkjet printing — wide-format single-pass systems requiring high ink coverage
• Materials deposition — industrial inkjet applications beyond graphics requiring controlled fluid deposition
Warranty Notice
Due to the sensitive nature of industrial printhead components, we cannot accept returns, exchanges, or refunds once the printhead has been installed or integrated. All sales are final. Contact our team to confirm G5L vs G3L variant and ink type compatibility before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the key difference between the Samba G5L and G3L?
Both are Si-MEMS Samba platform heads with 2,048 nozzles, 43mm print width, 1,200 dpi native resolution, 100 kHz frequency, parallelogram nozzle plate, RediJet recirculation, and VersaDrop multi-level grayscale. The G5L has a larger native drop of 3.5 pl versus the G3L's 2.4 pl, and a larger maximum drop of 13 pl versus 10 pl. This gives the G5L a 25% higher flow rate (450 vs 360 ng-kHz) and 25% faster maximum print speed (150 vs 120 m/min), making it better suited for high ink coverage applications like corrugated packaging and textiles. The G3L's finer 2.4 pl native drop and UV ink compatibility make it the preferred choice for commercial print and UV applications requiring the finest detail.
Why is UV ink not recommended for the G5L?
The G5L's larger jet passages and nozzle geometry — which enable its bigger 3.5–13 pl drops and higher throughput — are less optimal for UV ink jetting compared to the G3L's tighter geometry. While the G5L is technically capable of jetting UV inks, Fujifilm Dimatix's own assessment is that the G3L outperforms the G5L in UV applications in almost every case. If your system uses UV-curable inks, the G3L is the correct Samba variant to specify. Contact our team if you need guidance on which Samba head matches your ink type.
What is RediJet — and how does it improve uptime?
RediJet is Fujifilm Dimatix's continuous ink recirculation system built directly behind each nozzle in the Samba platform. Unlike systems where recirculation only occurs at the ink chamber level, RediJet keeps fresh ink flowing right at the meniscus continuously — preventing ink drying, pigment settling, and viscosity changes at the nozzle during idle periods. This results in faster priming when printing resumes, minimal ink waste during startup, significantly reduced cleaning cycles, and consistently reliable first-drop jetting at full speed. For high-throughput single-pass applications like corrugated packaging, RediJet-enabled uptime is a critical production advantage.
Do you ship the Fujifilm Dimatix Samba G5L to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse before 2PM EST. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American corrugated packaging and textile OEM integrators using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
