Meteor Inkjet announces support for new Ricoh MH3820 printhead for high-speed coding & marking, packaging, & additive manufacturing applications
Meteor Inkjet Ltd, a leading supplier of industrial inkjet printhead driving solutions, further expands its product portfolio with the introduction of the HDC-2R6XL driver board and software for Ricoh MH3820 printheads.
The MH3820 is Ricoh’s new industrial inkjet printhead designed to help OEMs and solution providers build more compact, reliable and capable inkjet systems for Coding & Marking and broader packaging applications. The latest driver expands Meteor’s comprehensive portfolio of Ricoh print head drivers.
Ricoh will showcase the MH3820 at Interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf (7–13 May), demonstrating how the printhead’s wide, narrow geometry can simplify system design for applications that require larger print heights without stitching multiple smaller printheads together. Meteor will be in attendance to discuss drive electronics and software technologies on the Hybrid Software stand, 8aB54.
