The Toshiba TEC CE4W is the standard water-cooled multi-drop greyscale printhead with 636 nozzles and 6-90 pL range, offering enhanced thermal stability for industrial printing.
The Toshiba TEC CE4W (commonly listed as CE4W1) is the water-cooled / water-channel standard version of the CE4 multi-drop greyscale industrial inkjet printhead. It is designed for high-quality industrial printing applications requiring stable thermal control during continuous operation.
The printhead features 636 active nozzles across a 53.7 mm print swathe, with a nozzle pitch of 84.5 μm. Multi-drop greyscale technology delivers 16 levels of grey 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 and complete sealing for easy and uniform temperature control.
It is equipped with four ink inlet ports and is compatible with both oil-based pigment and UV-curable pigment inks. The CE4W is supplied with head ID, voltage and waveform information and is widely used in industrial UV flatbed and hybrid systems.
Note: The CE4M is often listed as a compatible alternative in some systems. Always verify the exact part marking on the existing printhead and the machine documentation before ordering.
