GEN4, GEN5, and GEN6 are not interchangeable — each requires specific printer board and firmware support. See our Ricoh GEN4 MH2420 and Ricoh GEN5 MH5420 listings if your printer uses an earlier generation. Contact our team if you are unsure which generation your printer requires.

This printhead is compatible with the following printers:
Other UV flatbed and UV roll-to-roll printers specifying MH5320 or Ricoh GEN6 compatibility. Contact our technical team with your printer make and model to confirm before ordering.
Cable Length — 447mm vs 145mm
The MH5320 is available in two cable lengths — 145mm and 447mm (this listing). The correct cable length depends entirely on your printer model and the position of the printhead carriage board. Using the wrong cable length will prevent installation. Check your printer's service documentation or contact our team to confirm which length your machine requires before ordering.
Printhead Lifespan
The Ricoh GEN6 MH5320 is an industrial-grade printhead with more than double the service life of the GEN5 it replaces. Like all industrial Ricoh heads, it is rated by actuations rather than calendar months — building on the GEN5's roughly 100 billion actuations per nozzle, the GEN6 is engineered for substantially higher endurance, making it the longest-lasting option in the Ricoh range. Actual calendar lifespan depends on duty cycle: single-shift production yields the longest service, while continuous multi-shift operations reach the limit sooner. Maintaining the printhead, using only compatible UV inks, and following Ricoh's cleaning guidelines all extend service life. See our printhead lifespan guide for replacement cycles across all printhead models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ricoh GEN4, GEN5 and GEN6?
The GEN4 MH2420 has 512 nozzles and supports aqueous, solvent, and UV inks. The GEN5 MH5420 has 1,280 nozzles primarily for UV and solvent. The GEN6 MH5320 also has 1,280 nozzles but with a smaller 5pl minimum drop and more than double the service life of the GEN5. They are not interchangeable and require different printer boards.
Which cable length do I need — 447mm or 145mm?
This depends on your specific printer model and where the carriage board is positioned. The 447mm version (this listing) is used in printers where the carriage board is mounted further from the printhead. Contact our team with your exact printer make and model and we will confirm the correct cable length before you order.
How long does the Ricoh GEN6 printhead last?
The GEN6 MH5320 has more than double the service life of the GEN5, which is itself rated by Ricoh for roughly 100 billion actuations per nozzle. Because industrial heads are rated by actuations rather than calendar time, real-world lifespan depends on your duty cycle — single-shift shops get the longest service, while continuous production reaches the limit sooner. It is the longest-lasting head in the Ricoh range. See our printhead lifespan guide for full data across all printhead models.
What printers use the Ricoh GEN6 MH5320?
Compatible printers include Hollanders Colorbooster 320, M5000, MC2512RV, and PrintJet HYB2000, SG6, and 2030. Contact our team with your printer make and model to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Does the MH5320 come with a manufacturer warranty?
Yes — every MH5320 we sell is 100% genuine original Ricoh and comes with the manufacturer warranty included. We do not sell refurbished or gray market units.
Do you ship Ricoh GEN6 printheads to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American UV print shops and resellers using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
