Product Information

The Ricoh GEN5 MH5420 UV Printhead (N221414E) is a genuine original UV/solvent industrial inkjet printhead with a 650mm total assembly length — the long-cable UV variant in the MH5420 range — for UV and solvent ink systems requiring extended cable routing. With 1,280 nozzles for up to 4-colour printing, a 7–35 pl variable drop range, 600 dpi native resolution, and D33 Stacked PZT piezo construction with integrated heater and thermistor, it is built for high-throughput UV and solvent flatbed and roll-to-roll production platforms. Every N221414E we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Ricoh Japan.

UV/solvent variant — 650mm cable. This MH5420 is for UV-curable and solvent inks. It is not the water-based MH5420. The UV variant (N221414E) supports up to 4 colours. Cable length is 550mm (650mm total assembly). Always confirm your printer's specified part number (N221414E) and ink type before ordering. Do not confuse with the 650mm water-based variant (J36004 / N221414D).

The 650mm UV variant (N221414E) shares the same head body and UV/solvent specifications as the 248mm (N221414J) and 500mm (N221414L) variants, but provides a longer 550mm cable for machines with extended carriage-to-electronics routing distances. The correct cable length is determined by your specific printer's internal cable run — always check your printer's service documentation or the part number on your currently installed head.

Compatible Printers

The N221414E 650mm UV variant is for UV and solvent flatbed and roll-to-roll printers that specify the long-cable MH5420 due to extended carriage routing. Contact our team with your printer make, model, and current head part number to confirm N221414E compatibility before ordering. If your printer uses the shorter 248mm or 500mm UV MH5420, see our 248mm UV MH5420 and 500mm UV MH5420 listings.

Warranty Notice

Due to the sensitive nature of industrial UV printhead components, we cannot accept returns, exchanges, or refunds once the printhead has been installed. All sales are final. Contact our team to confirm ink type, cable length, and part number before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between N221414E, N221414L, and N221414J?
All three are UV/solvent Ricoh GEN5 MH5420 heads for 4-colour printing with identical specifications. The difference is cable length: N221414J is 248mm total (148mm cable), N221414L is 500mm total (400mm cable), and N221414E is 650mm total (550mm cable). The correct version for your printer depends on the routing distance between the carriage and the drive electronics board in your specific machine. Confirm using your printer's service documentation or the part number on your installed head.

Can I use this UV 650mm head if my printer currently has a water-based 650mm J36004?
No — although both are 650mm total length, the UV variant (N221414E) and the water-based variant (J36004) have different nozzle plate chemistry, internal ink path configuration, and channel allocation. Installing the UV head in a water-based printer system will damage the nozzle plate and void the warranty.

Do you ship Ricoh GEN5 MH5420 UV 650mm printheads to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American UV flatbed and roll-to-roll production shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
