Leading software developer Global Inkjet Systems (GIS) announces that it supports the recently launched RICOH MH5220 printhead. The newly developed RICOH MH5220 is the latest addition to the RICOH printhead range with 600 dpi native resolution, 1,280 nozzles and a sub drop size of 2.5 pico liter with 4 grey levels. Configured with 4 x 320 nozzles and a print width of 54.1mm, the MH5220 can jet up to two colours per head – UV curable inks – and is targeting high resolution label, packaging and wide format graphic applications.
The GIS Head Interface Board (HIB-RH-1280) provides access to all the standard MH5220 printhead settings, including waveform control for binary, greyscale and multi-pulse printing. The GIS electronics are designed to deliver data and precision DAC-controlled waveforms at the higher jetting frequencies and slew rates required by the MH5220 head. The GIS HIB-RH-1280 Head Interface Board for the RICOH MH5220 is available now to OEM/system builders and integrators.
