What is "Type-D" and Why It Matters
Mimaki designates GEN5 printhead assemblies by Type (A, B, C, D etc.) to indicate their connector configuration, ink channel layout, and carriage mounting orientation — specific to the printer model the assembly is built for. The Type-D assembly (N221345D) is engineered specifically for the TS500-1800 and TX500-1800 carriage. Installing a GEN5 assembly of a different Type designation, even if the underlying Ricoh head specs are identical, will result in incorrect connector fit or ink channel misalignment. Always confirm the Type designation matches your Mimaki printer model before ordering.
Compatible Printers
This printhead assembly is compatible with the following printers:
Contact our team with your Mimaki printer model and serial number to confirm MP-M022653 compatibility before ordering. Always verify the Type-D designation is correct for your specific printer configuration.
Warranty Notice
Due to the sensitive nature of industrial printhead components, we cannot accept returns, exchanges, or refunds once the printhead has been installed. All sales are final. Contact our team to confirm compatibility with your printer before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does MP-M022653 replace?
MP-M022653 is the current Mimaki part number replacing M014140. If your service documentation or previous invoice shows M014140, MP-M022653 is the correct current replacement — same Type-D GEN5 assembly for TS500-1800 and TX500-1800 series printers.
What does "Type-D" mean on a Mimaki GEN5 assembly?
Mimaki uses Type designations (A, B, C, D etc.) to differentiate GEN5 printhead assemblies by their connector configuration and ink channel layout for specific printer models. The Type-D is specific to the TS500-1800 and TX500-1800 carriage. Using a different Type with the same GEN5 head specs will result in incompatible connections. Always confirm the Type designation matches your printer before ordering.
What inks are compatible with this GEN5 assembly?
The MP-M022653 is configured for dye sublimation inks in the Mimaki TS500-1800 and textile transfer inks in the TX500-1800 series. It is not configured for UV, solvent, or water-based inks outside of these printer systems. Always use Mimaki-certified inks for your specific TS500 or TX500 printer model.
Do you ship Mimaki TS500 GEN5 printheads to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American Mimaki textile and sublimation print shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
