The Toshiba TEC CA5W is the water-cooled variant of the CA5 series with 318 nozzles, offering precise multi-drop performance and enhanced thermal stability for industrial UV and oil-based printing.
Toshiba TEC CA5W Original OEM Printhead Water-Cooled
The Toshiba TEC CA5W is the water-cooled (water-channel) variant of the CA5 industrial on-demand piezoelectric inkjet printhead. It belongs to the Toshiba TEC CA series and is designed for applications requiring enhanced thermal stability during continuous industrial operation.
The CA5 platform features 318 nozzles with a print width of approximately 53.6 mm. Publicly available data lists multiple drop-volume configurations for the CA5 family (including 3 pL, 12 pL and 42 pL variants) with a typical firing frequency around 17.9 kHz. The “W” designation indicates the inclusion of a built-in water channel for temperature control, similar to the CA3W and CA4W models.
The water-channel design provides more uniform temperature distribution across the head, supporting consistent jetting performance with UV-curable and oil-based inks. Exact drop volume, greyscale levels and frequency for a specific CA5W unit should be confirmed against the physical marking or the machine service documentation.
Always verify the exact model and variant before ordering, as the CA5 series includes multiple drop-size configurations and the water-cooled version is not interchangeable with standard air-cooled units without confirmation of the cooling interface.

Technical Precision & Operational Advisory
Installation Warning
Printhead installation must be performed by a qualified technician following the official procedures of the printer manufacturer. 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.
- Water Channel: The CA5W includes a built-in water channel. Ensure the cooling circuit is correctly connected and operating within the recommended temperature range before jetting.
- Variant Confirmation: Confirm that your machine specifically requires the water-cooled CA5W version rather than a standard CA5. Mechanical and fluid interfaces may differ.
- Ink Compatibility: Use only UV-curable or oil-based pigment inks approved for the specific system. Non-approved fluids can damage the head.
- 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.
- Limited Public Data: Because detailed CA5W datasheets are not widely published, always cross-check the part number on the existing head or the machine documentation.
Compatible Models & Systems
The Toshiba TEC CA5W is used in selected industrial inkjet systems that require the water-cooled CA5 platform. Exact machine lists are limited in public documentation and depend on the specific OEM configuration.
Compatibility must be confirmed against the machine’s service documentation or the system integrator’s specifications before ordering. Do not assume interchangeability with CA3W, CA4W or non-water-cooled CA5 heads without verification of the physical interface, electrical drive and cooling circuit.
Recommendation: Always verify the exact part number or marking on the existing printhead before ordering.
Terms, Warranty & Customer Protection
Pre-Installation Guarantee: 100% brand-new, factory-original product when supplied as new. 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.
