Mutoh Drafstation RJ-900C / RJ-901C DX5 Printhead - DG-44246

The Mutoh Drafstation DX5 printhead DG-44246 (also sold as/replaceing DF-49029 / DF-49684) is the correct OEM DX5 printhead for the RJ-900C, RJ-901C and RJ-900X series; buy DG-44246 (OEM) when you want full compatibility and the best reliability, and consider a lower-cost remanufactured alternative only if price is critical and you accept higher replacement risk.

Replacement and installer notes

Buying checklist (four steps)

•     Confirm exact printer model and current part number in your service menu or parts list (RJ-900C, RJ-901C, RJ-900X) to avoid ordering the wrong head.
•     If you need minimal downtime and long-term reliability: order OEM DG-44246 and schedule a technician for installation (price will be higher but reduces risk).
