The Toshiba Tec CF1L printhead is a highly versatile industrial component used across a wide array of single-pass, high-speed commercial printing machinery. It is primarily integrated into the following systems:
EFI Cretaprint C3 (Industrial digital ceramic tile printer)
EFI Cretaprint Evolution series (High-capacity tile and ceramic printing lines)
People & Technology BACKJET (Industrial digital fluid application and back-marking systems)
Toshiba Tec CK1L is historically interchangeable with the Toshiba Tec CF1L in many configurations. However, voltage adjustments, firmware changes, and physical system calibration are required upon replacement.
