The Toshiba CF3 (and its re-circulating variant CF3R) is a native 600 npi industrial piezoelectric printhead built by Toshiba Tec / Riso. It is not used in standard desktop office printers; rather, it is integrated into specialized industrial UV flatbed, high-drop, and 360° cylindrical/bottle-printing machines.
If you are looking for a machine that uses this printhead, it is found in these industrial brands:
KingJet: High-speed cylindrical and bottle printers (e.g., KJ-1060UV, KJ-R001FC).
Suntech: Industrial flatbed machines made for printing on uneven surfaces (e.g., ST-F2513C).
Dacen & Danmajet: Large-format industrial UV printers and single-pass web printing units.
Important Notice
To prevent costly buyer return requests, it is critical to explicitly state what this head does NOT fit:
Do not buy this printhead if you own any of the machines listed below. It looks identical on the outside, but the internal electronics are totally different and will not work.
Water-Cooled Systems: Does not replace the CF3R or CF6R models (they use liquid-cooling and are a different thickness).
Water-Based Inks: Cannot be used with Textile, Sublimation, DTG, or Aqueous (water-based) inks.
Standard Graphics Printers: Does not fit standard sign printers like Roland, Mimaki, Mutoh, or Epson.
Other Toshiba Models: Does not replace older models like the CE4, CE4M, or CF1.
