The Roland DX4 Gold printhead (part number 6000005180) is the UV-coated version of the DX4 specifically engineered for Roland VersaUV LEF series flatbed printers. Known in the trade as the "gold" DX4 head, its special coating provides enhanced resistance against UV-curable inks — delivering a longer service life in UV printing environments than the standard DX4 6000005213. Every 6000005180 we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine Roland.

DX4 Gold 6000005180 vs Standard DX4 6000005213 — Critical Difference
This is the most important question for VersaUV LEF owners. The two DX4 variants look identical but have different internal coatings:
| Spec | Gold DX4 — 6000005180 | Standard DX4 — 6000005213 |
|---|---|---|
| Coating | UV-resistant coating | Standard eco-solvent coating |
| VersaUV use | Recommended — designed for UV inks | Usable on firmware 1.4+ only |
| Eco-solvent use | Not recommended | Standard eco-solvent printers |
| Mixing | ⚠️ Never mix 6000005180 and 6000005213 in the same printer — will result in head failure | |
If your VersaUV LEF is currently running standard 6000005213 heads on firmware 1.4+, you can continue — but when replacing, all heads must be replaced with the same part number. See our standard DX4 6000005213 if your printer uses the non-gold version.

Important: The 6000005180 gold DX4 is NOT compatible with Roland eco-solvent printers (VS, RA, RE, RF series). Those models use either the standard DX4 6000005213 or the DX6/DX7. Contact our team to confirm the correct printhead for your Roland model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Roland DX4 Gold 6000005180 and standard DX4 6000005213?
The gold version (6000005180) has a UV-resistant coating engineered for UV-curable inks used in VersaUV LEF flatbed printers. The standard version 6000005213 is coated for eco-solvent inks. While the standard can be used in VersaUV printers running firmware 1.4+, the gold is the recommended choice. Never mix the two versions in the same printer.
Can I use the standard DX4 6000005213 in my VersaUV LEF?
Yes, but only on firmware version 1.4 or higher, and only if all installed heads are the same version. If your printer currently has gold heads, replace with gold. If it has standard heads on firmware 1.4+, replace with standard. Mixing the two will cause printhead failure.
Is the DX4 Gold compatible with Roland eco-solvent printers like the VS-640 or RA-640?
No — the 6000005180 gold DX4 is exclusively for the VersaUV LEF series. Roland eco-solvent printers use the standard DX4 6000005213 or the DX6/DX7. Contact our team to confirm the correct head for your Roland model.
What cables do I need when replacing the DX4 Gold in a VersaUV LEF?
Replace the head data cables at the same time as the printhead. Installing a new head on worn cables is the most common cause of premature DX4 failure. Contact our team with your LEF model number for the correct cable set.
Do you ship Roland VersaUV printheads to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American Roland VersaUV users and resellers using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
