Original Mimaki DX5 Water-Based Printhead – F160010 (F160000)
OEM Part Number: F160010 / F160000 (Cross-Ref: F158000 / F187000) | Micro-Piezo DoD Water-Based & Sublimation Printhead
Water-Based & Textile Sublimation Architecture Notice
The Mimaki DX5 Water-Based Printhead F160010 (F160000) is an authentic OEM micro-piezoelectric drop-on-demand replacement printhead engineered specifically for aqueous dye, pigment, and dye-sublimation fluid configurations across Mimaki platforms (including aqueous-converted JV33, JV5, CJV30, TS3-1600, TS5-1600, and TPC-1000). Designed with water-compatible internal cavity manifolds and hydrophilic surface treatments, it ensures stable meniscus formation and droplet firing for water-based ink chemistries.
Product Overview
The Original Mimaki DX5 Water-Based Printhead – F160010 / F160000 is an authentic OEM multi-channel micro-piezoelectric printhead engineered for textile sublimation printing, CAD technical drawings, indoor fine-art reproductions, photographic proofs, and water-based graphics. Built on the proven 8-channel micro-piezo platform, this unit arranges 180 nozzles across 8 independent channels (totaling 1,440 active nozzles) to deliver photorealistic detail at native resolutions up to 1440 DPI.
Leveraging Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT), the F160010 modulates droplet volume from ultra-fine 1.5 picoliter dots for smooth skin tones and soft gradients up to 21 picoliters for dense, saturated solid fills on transfer papers and fabrics. Its internal fluidic chambers and manifold seals are tailored for aqueous solutions, preventing internal cavitation and air entrapment when running high-velocity water-based pigment inks or dispersed dye-sublimation inks (such as Mimaki Sb51, Sb52, Sb53, and Sb54).

Key Features & Operational Advantages
- Optimized for Water-Based & Sublimation Inks: Internal manifold channels are coated to prevent surfactant foaming and sedimentation when handling aqueous dye, pigment, and dispersed sublimation inks.
- Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT): Multidrop waveform control yields smooth photographic transitions with 1.5 pl micro-droplets and rich color density with larger 21 pl drops.
- Flexible Multi-Channel Color Configuration: The 8-channel array supports dual CMYK high-speed production or specialized color sets (CMYK + Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light Black, etc.) for high-end proofing.
- Factory Calibrated Head ID: Includes factory-measured voltage and timing calibration parameters on the onboard barcode label to synchronize drop trajectory across all 8 channels.
CRITICAL TECHNICAL & SERVICE ADVISORY
1. Chemical Incompatibility with Aggressive Solvent Inks: The F160010 / F160000 is engineered strictly for water-based dye, aqueous pigment, and dye-sublimation inks. It does not use the specialized solvent-resistant manifold bonding found on the solvent-grade M007947 printhead. Introducing aggressive eco-solvent or mild solvent inks into this unit can dissolve manifold seals and cause catastrophic internal short circuits.
2. Head Memory Board & Decoder Compatibility: When retrofitting or replacing heads on Mimaki JV33 or CJV30 machines, ensure the green Head Memory Board PCB is properly transferred or matched to your printer’s slider board firmware. Certain firmware revisions require an uncoded/unlocked head configuration to initialize without encryption lock errors.
3. Mandatory FFC Cable Replacement: Always install brand-new 31-pin flat flexible head cables (FFC) when replacing the printhead. Inserting cables with worn gold fingers or ink residue risks shorting the driver transistors on the slider PCB and damaging the main board.
4. Dampers & Capping Station Maintenance: Always install new water-compatible ink dampers and inspect the rubber capping top before introducing ink. Never wipe the delicate gold-plated nozzle face with dry wipes or abrasive cloths; use only genuine lint-free swabs moistened with approved aqueous cleaning solution.
