Mutoh DG-43988 Inkjet Printhead for Mutoh ValueJet Printers

Mutoh DG-43988 Printhead

This original Mutoh DG-43988 printhead is designed for Mutoh ValueJet printers, including models 1324, 1624, 426UF, and 1617H. With a native resolution of 360 dpi, 8 nozzle lines (corresponding to 8 independent ink channels), and 180 nozzles per line, it delivers sharp details, smooth gradients, and consistent printing performance.

The DG-43988 replaces part numbers DG-42271, DG-43345, DG-45279, and DG-42987. It can also be interchanged with part number DH-40865 and DG-40274; however, DH-40865 provides better chemical resistance for UV inks, making it the recommended choice for LED-UV printers.

Manufactured in Japan, this genuine printhead comes with a manufacturer warranty and is engineered for high reliability in professional printing environments.
