The Mimaki M014384 is the genuine original Ricoh GEN5 (MH5420/5440) printhead for the Mimaki JV400-LX latex printer series — the JV400-130LX and JV400-160LX. 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 heart of Mimaki's latex wide-format production platform. Every M014384 we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Mimaki/Ricoh GEN5.
Part number update: M014384 → M022651. Mimaki has updated this part number. M014384 and M022651 are the same GEN5 printhead for the JV400-LX — M022651 is the current active part number. Both are compatible with the JV400-130LX and JV400-160LX. Contact our team to confirm the current shipping part number before ordering.
JV400-LX vs JV400-SUV — not interchangeable. The M014384/M022651 is the latex (LX) variant. The JV400-SUV series uses a different GEN5 part number (M014400). Confirm your printer model before ordering — LX and SUV heads are not cross-compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between M014384 and M022651?
They are the same GEN5 printhead for the Mimaki JV400-LX. M022651 is Mimaki's updated part number that replaced M014384. If you search for M014384, you may find it listed as superseded — M022651 is the current active part. Our team ships the current available version and can confirm which part number your order will ship as before purchase.
What is the difference between M014384 (JV400-LX) and M014400 (JV400-SUV)?
Both are Ricoh GEN5 (MH5420/5440) printheads sharing the same core physical specs — 1,280 nozzles, 7–35pl, 60 kHz, integrated heater. The difference is in the ink system configuration: M014384/M022651 is configured for the JV400-LX latex printer series; M014400 is configured for the JV400-SUV UV/solvent series. They are not interchangeable. Your printer model (LX or SUV) determines which part number you need — confirm before ordering.
What does the integrated heater do in the GEN5 printhead?
The integrated heater and thermistor maintain the printhead at a stable operating temperature during printing. For latex inks in particular, controlled temperature is critical for consistent drop formation, ink viscosity stability, and adhesion to media. The GEN5's heater can operate up to 80°C, making it suitable for demanding latex and UV production environments where ink temperature directly affects print quality.
What does "100 billion actuations per nozzle" mean for service life?
Each nozzle in the GEN5 is rated to fire 100 billion times before expected wear affects performance. At 60 kHz jetting frequency, this translates to thousands of hours of continuous production-level printing under normal operating conditions — making the GEN5 one of the most durable industrial printheads available for wide-format latex applications.
Do you ship the M014384 / M022651 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-LX latex production shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
