Six Ricoh G6 printheads cleaned in one service batch

This case involved six Ricoh G6 printheads processed together as a service batch. Mocai Digital completed the cleaning service and carried out on-machine testing. The accompanying photos document the printheads and the nozzle-test patterns produced during testing.

Handling a batch involves keeping each printhead identifiable through the service and testing stages. This makes it easier to review the documented output for each unit and discuss the service results clearly.

Ricoh is included in Mocai Digital’s industrial printhead cleaning service. The service approach depends on the printhead’s condition and application.

Cleaning followed by on-machine testing

Cleaning and testing work together in this case: the printheads were cleaned, then tested on-machine, with nozzle-test patterns recorded as part of the service documentation. These records provide a visual reference for the output observed during testing.

The photos below show the Ricoh G6 printheads arranged with their test sheets. Keeping the images with the case documentation helps connect the service work to the relevant printhead batch.

For a broader look at the stages involved, read Mocai Digital’s printhead service process guide. You can also explore more printhead service success stories, including a separate batch cleaning case involving 12 printheads.

Nozzle-test patterns after Ricoh G6 printhead cleaning

A nozzle-test pattern records printhead output under the conditions used during testing. It supports the service review by providing a visual record, while the result should be interpreted in context with the printhead, equipment, and application.

In this case, the test-pattern photos accompany the six cleaned Ricoh G6 printheads as documentation of the service and testing work.
