The Mimaki M014400 is the genuine original Ricoh GEN5 (MH5420/5440) printhead for the Mimaki JV400-SUV series — the JV400-130SUV and JV400-160SUV UV/solvent hybrid printers. With 1,280 nozzles (4 rows × 320), variable drop volume from 7 to 35 pl, jetting frequency up to 60 kHz, an integrated heater and thermistor rated to 80°C, and a 100 billion actuation per nozzle service life rating, it is the core production component of Mimaki's JV400-SUV platform. Every M014400 we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Mimaki/Ricoh GEN5.
JV400-SUV vs JV400-LX — not interchangeable. The M014400 is configured for the JV400-SUV UV/solvent hybrid series. The JV400-LX latex series uses a different GEN5 part number (M014384 / M022651). Both share the same GEN5 core specs but are configured differently for their respective ink systems. Always confirm your printer model (SUV or LX) before ordering — they are not cross-compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "SUV" stand for in JV400-SUV?
SUV on the Mimaki JV400 refers to the printer's ink system — it stands for Solvent-UV, meaning the printer uses Mimaki's SU inks which are a hybrid UV-curable solvent ink. This is distinct from the JV400-LX series, which uses latex (LX) inks. The printhead (M014400) is configured specifically for SU ink chemistry — attempting to use the LX head (M014384) in a SUV printer, or vice versa, will result in jetting failure and potential head damage.
What is the difference between M014400 (JV400-SUV) and M014384 (JV400-LX)?
Both are Ricoh GEN5 (MH5420/5440) printheads with identical core physical specs — 1,280 nozzles, 7–35pl, 60 kHz, integrated heater to 80°C, 100 billion actuation life. The difference is ink system configuration: M014400 is set up for Mimaki's SU UV/solvent hybrid inks used in the SUV series; M014384 (now M022651) is configured for latex inks used in the LX series. They are not interchangeable. Your printer model determines which part you need.
What does the integrated heater do in the GEN5 M014400?
The integrated heater maintains the printhead at a stable operating temperature throughout the print run. For UV/solvent hybrid inks (SU inks), temperature stability is critical for consistent viscosity, drop formation accuracy, and cure performance. The GEN5's heater operates up to 80°C and works in tandem with the integrated thermistor for closed-loop temperature control — ensuring consistent output from first pass to last in long production runs.
What is D33 Stacked PZT piezo technology?
D33 Stacked PZT refers to the piezoelectric actuator design used in Ricoh GEN5 printheads. "D33" describes the piezoelectric coefficient orientation — the direction of deformation relative to the applied electric field — while "Stacked PZT" means multiple piezoelectric layers are bonded together, allowing greater displacement with lower voltage compared to single-layer designs. The result is faster, more efficient actuation that enables the GEN5's 60 kHz jetting frequency while maintaining precise drop volume control across the 7–35 pl range.
Do you ship the M014400 to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse before 2PM EST. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American Mimaki JV400-SUV shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
