$1,565.00
Original Kyocera KJ4B-0150 aqueous piezo inkjet printhead designed as a four-color (CMYK) unit for high-speed multi-pass applications. Features 150 × 150 dpi native resolution per color channel, 2,656 nozzles (664 × 4 channels) across a 112.35 mm effective print width, variable drop volumes of 5–18 pL, maximum drive frequency of 30 kHz and print speeds up to 152 m/min, ideal for sublimation textile and coarse-resolution industrial printing.
The Kyocera KJ4B-0150 is an original genuine industrial piezo inkjet printhead from the KJ4B series. It is a dedicated four-color (four-channel) model engineered for high-speed multi-pass printing with water-based (aqueous) inks. Unlike single-color heads such as the KJ4B-QA or KJ4B-YH, the KJ4B-0150 integrates four independent color channels within a single unit, enabling simultaneous CMYK output and significantly reducing the number of printheads required in multi-color systems.
Each color channel operates at native 150 × 150 dpi resolution. When all four channels are used together the effective addressable resolution reaches 600 dpi. The head contains 2,656 nozzles arranged as 664 nozzles per channel. Effective print width is 112.35 mm. Maximum drive frequency is 30 kHz, supporting a maximum print speed of 152 m/min (or approximately 76.2 m/min when performing simultaneous four-color printing at the equivalent of 600 dpi). Drop volumes are selectable at 5 pL, 7 pL, 12 pL and 18 pL (18 pL limited to drive frequencies of 20 kHz or lower). Recommended ink viscosity range is 5.0–6.0 mPa·s. Physical dimensions are 200 × 45 × 66.8 mm (W × D × H) with a dry weight of approximately 640 g. The head does not incorporate nozzle recirculation.
This model is particularly suited to multi-pass textile and sublimation applications where a single wide, multi-color head simplifies machine design, reduces alignment complexity and lowers the total number of heads required.

Applications
High-speed multi-pass aqueous printing for sublimation textile production, coarse-resolution industrial graphics, signage and other applications where a single four-color head reduces system complexity and the total number of printheads required.
Compatibility Notes
Used in selected industrial multi-pass textile and graphics systems designed for the KJ4B-0150 four-color architecture. Full system-level compatibility (head interface board, waveform, drive voltage, cables, firmware and ink delivery system) must be confirmed with the printer manufacturer or system integrator prior to installation. Physical dimensions and nozzle count alone do not guarantee electrical or fluidic compatibility.
Operational Recommendations
- Always handle the printhead while wearing a grounded anti-static ESD wrist strap.
- Power down the complete system before connecting or disconnecting any flexible cables.
- Thoroughly flush all four ink channels with an approved cleaning solution before first use or after prolonged storage.
- Use only aqueous inks within the recommended viscosity range of 5.0–6.0 mPa·s.
- Replace the associated head cables at the same time as the printhead to minimise connection-related issues.
Warranty
Store Warranty: 30 Business Days After Delivery. Eligible claims for damage on arrival, defective product, non-functioning product, incorrect item or missing components require: (1) a continuous uninterrupted unboxing video, (2) clear evidence of the shipping package and shipping label, (3) clear evidence of the product condition, and (4) for functionality claims, a video showing initial installation and operation performed by a qualified technician. All claims remain subject to verification. When approved, a 100% money-back refund without deduction is provided. Manufacturer Warranty: Not publicly specified by Kyocera in available documentation. Warranty expressly excludes defects related to the use of non-original inks, clogged/missing/deviated nozzles, misuse, abuse, neglect, improper storage, lack of prescribed maintenance, operation for unintended purposes, third-party applications/software/parts/components or bulk ink systems, and purely cosmetic issues.
This is a genuine original Kyocera OEM four-color printhead. Proper system integration, approved aqueous inks and correct handling procedures are essential for optimal performance and service life.
