The Toshiba TEC CE4W1 is the water-cooled multi-drop greyscale version of the CE4 platform with 636 nozzles and 6-90 pL drop range. Built-in water channel provides enhanced thermal stability for continuous industrial UV and oil-based printing.
The Toshiba TEC CE4W1 is the original OEM water-cooled multi-drop greyscale industrial inkjet printhead from the CE4 family. It is designed for high-quality industrial printing applications that require stable thermal control and wide greyscale performance.
The printhead features 636 active nozzles across a 53.7 mm print swathe with a nozzle pitch of 84.5 μm. Multi-drop technology enables 16 levels of greyscale with a drop volume range of 6–90 pL. Typical firing frequency spans 2.8–28 kHz. The chassis incorporates a built-in water channel with complete sealing for uniform temperature distribution and stable jetting.
It is equipped with four ink inlet ports and is compatible with both oil-based pigment and UV-curable pigment inks. Genuine units are supplied with head ID, voltage and waveform information. The CE4W1 is widely used in industrial UV flatbed and hybrid systems and is often noted as compatible with the later CE4M in certain configurations.
Always verify the exact part marking on the existing printhead and the machine service documentation before ordering to ensure correct compatibility.
