Genuine Toshiba TEC factory-original CF1 recirculating piezo printhead with 636 nozzles, 300 npi and full-channel ink recirculation. Reliable 6–42 pL greyscale head for UV and oil-based industrial printing.
Toshiba TEC CF1BL Original Recirculating Industrial Inkjet Printhead Large Drop
The Toshiba TEC CF1BL is the large-drop variant of the original CF1 recirculating industrial inkjet printhead family. It features full ink recirculation through all channels, delivering high jetting reliability for industrial single-pass and high-coverage applications that require larger drop volumes.
The CF1BL produces drop volumes in the range of 57–80 pL and operates with 4 greyscale levels (0, 5, 6, 7 drops). It has 636 active nozzles arranged in two rows at 300 npi, providing a native resolution of 300 dpi and a print swathe width of 53.7 mm. Maximum firing frequency is 4.8 kHz at 7 drops.
Full recirculation through every channel enables rapid recovery of non-firing nozzles, stable thermal behaviour, reduced sedimentation and reliable performance with higher-viscosity or high-solids inks. The head supports both UV-curable and oil-based fluids and is designed for industrial environments where larger drop sizes improve coverage, opacity or productivity.
The CF1BL shares the same physical envelope and electrical interface as the standard CF1B, allowing system integrators to select the appropriate drop-volume variant according to application requirements.

Technical Precision & Operational Advisory
Installation Warning
Printhead installation must be performed by a qualified technician following the official procedures of the printer and printhead manufacturers. Incorrect handling can permanently damage the nozzle plate, electronics or ink system.
- ESD Protection: Always use a grounded wrist strap and anti-static surface when opening the packaging and handling the printhead. Piezo printheads are highly sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
- Power Isolation: Completely power down and isolate the printer before removing or installing the printhead. Do not hot-swap.
- Recirculation System: The CF1BL requires a properly configured ink recirculation system. Ensure flow rate, meniscus pressure and temperature control are within the manufacturer’s recommended ranges.
- Ink Compatibility: Use only UV-curable or oil-based fluids verified for the CF1BL. Larger drop volumes are typically used with higher-viscosity or high-solids inks; confirm compatibility before installation.
- Cable Replacement: When installing a new printhead it is strongly recommended to replace the head cables at the same time to avoid intermittent electrical issues.
- Handling Factory-Sealed Unit: Do not break the seal until ready for installation. Once the printhead has been exposed to ink or installed, it is considered used and cannot be returned.
- Drive Electronics: Confirm waveform and drive voltage match the printer configuration. Operation outside correct electrical parameters will reduce printhead life.
Compatible Models & Systems
The CF1BL is part of the Toshiba TEC CF1 recirculating family and is used in industrial single-pass systems requiring larger drop volumes for improved coverage or opacity. Unlike the standard CF1B, which has a documented application in the Mimaki UJF-7151 Plus, the CF1BL is primarily specified by system integrators for custom arrays and industrial platforms.
Typical application areas include labels, packaging, ceramics and other single-pass industrial printing where higher drop volume is preferred.
Recommendation: Exact compatibility must be confirmed against the specific printer’s service documentation or the system integrator’s specifications before ordering. Do not assume interchangeability with CF1B, CF1BXL, CF3 or non-recirculating CA-series heads without verification of the physical interface, electrical drive and ink system requirements.
Terms, Warranty & Customer Protection
Pre-Installation Guarantee: 100% brand-new, factory-original product. Each unit is inspected and sealed before shipment. We guarantee authenticity and factory condition upon arrival.
Store Warranty Policy: 30 working days warranty covering manufacturing defects. Warranty claims require complete unboxing video and professional installation video performed by an experienced technician following standard recommended procedures.
Final Sale Conditions: Once the printhead has been exposed to ink or installed into a printer, it is considered used and cannot be returned or exchanged. Please verify compatibility and installation readiness before opening the sealed packaging.
