Toshiba Tec CF3R Printhead

Toshiba Tec CF3R Printhead is a recirculating industrial inkjet printhead with 600 npi for 1 color or 300 npi for 2 colors, 639 nozzles in 2-color mode, 6-level grayscale, and a rated 9.2 kHz firing frequency at 5 drops. It uses UV-curing and oil-based inks, includes a built-in temperature sensor, and is water-cooled with an integrated cooling port.

What matters most

CF3R is designed for reliability and print consistency because ink recirculates through all channels, which helps reduce sedimentation and nozzle blockages and improves handling of heavier or higher-viscosity inks. It also supports per-nozzle drop-volume control, which helps reduce density variation.

Quick buyer evaluation

If you want compact industrial printing with two-color capability, CF3R is a strong fit because one head can handle 2 colors at 300 npi per color. If your application needs simpler integration and lower thermal load management, note that CF3R is the water-cooled version of the CF3 family.

CF3R vs CF3

Purchase decision guide

Choose CF3R if you need:

•     Two-color capability in one head.
•     Better ink stability for UV or oil-based inks with recirculation.
•     Water-cooled operation for higher-duty industrial setups.

Consider another option if you need:

•     A simpler air-cooled setup.
•     A head optimized for a single-color 600 npi configuration instead of dual-color operation.

For industrial buyers, CF3R Printhead looks best when reliability, recirculating ink handling, and dual-color flexibility matter more than minimal complexity. If you want, I can also make a side-by-side buyer comparison of CF3R vs CF6R, Ricoh G6, or Kyocera heads.
