Compatible printer models (KJ4B-QL)
The Kyocera Industrial Inkjet Printhead KJ4B-QL For MS Printer is a 600 dpi, water-based (aqueous) printhead used in a range of industrial and textile printers. Compatibility depends on the specific sub-variant (Standard, MS, EFI Reggiani), so always match the exact model code.
Standard variant (non‑MS, non‑Reggiani)
Commonly listed compatible printers include:
- Aeoon Kyo
- Aeoon Kyo Ahp
- Atexco Model H
- Atexco Model X
- Atexco Model X Plus
- Vega One
- Vega‑9180DI
- Vega‑iX3
- Xerox Rialto 900
These are typically direct-to-textile or industrial aqueous inkjet systems designed around the KJ4B family.
MS variant (for MS Printing Systems)
Optimized for MS Italy and related platforms:
- MS Italy JP6
- MS Italy JP4EVO
- MCS Eagle
- Xerox Rialto 900 (also appears in MS listings)
This version is often sold as “KJ4B-QL MS” and may have different cabling or firmware expectations.
EFI Reggiani variant
There are separate KJ4B-QL configuration for EFI Reggiani printers (with specific head cable). Exact Reggiani model names aren’t always published, but the variant is marketed as “for EFI Reggiani” and is not interchangeable with Standard or MS versions.
Important compatibility notes
- The three KJ4B-QL variants (Standard, MS, EFI Reggiani) are not interchangeable. Using the wrong variant can cause electrical or firmware incompatibility.
- Always confirm:
- Printer brand and exact model
- Whether your system uses Standard, MS, or Reggiani KJ4B-QL
- Head cable type and controller/driver compatibility (e.g., Meteor PDC‑2KA600 is listed for KJ4B-QL architecture).
- Ink type must be water-based (aqueous) with viscosity in the recommended range (around 5.0–6.0 mPa·s) for optimal performance.
Important Notice
This is an industrial consumable part and must be installed correctly by a qualified technician. No installation support is implied unless otherwise stated by the seller. Because printheads are precision components, please confirm all details before purchase.

- Printer brand and model
- Current printhead model number (as printed on the head or in the manual)
