Epson 5113 Second Locked Printhead FA160210 (G6 Second Locked Version)

Product Overview

The Epson 5113 Second Locked Printhead (Part Code: FA160210 / G6 Second Locked Version) is a high-performance piezoelectric replacement printhead engineered for high-density, fast-turnaround inkjet production. Built on Epson's PrecisionCore MicroTFP print technology with 3,200 active nozzles spanning 4 separate color channels, this printhead delivers ultra-fine droplet formation, high firing frequencies, and exceptional dot placement precision.

As a G6 / Second Locked Version, this printhead installs directly into native Epson WorkForce Pro series desktop printers without requiring hardware modification. When integrated into non-Epson converted digital textile or wide-format printers, a Second Locked decoder/encoder card is required to properly translate signal data.

Ink Compatibility Notice

• Water-Based Chemistry Only: Suitable exclusively for water-based dye inks, pigment inks, and aqueous dye-sublimation / thermal transfer inks.
• Incompatible Media: Strictly do not use eco-solvent, solvent, DTF, or UV-curable inks, as non-aqueous solvents will erode internal manifold seals and permanently short-circuit the piezoelectric actuators.

Operational Advisory & Installation Guidelines

• Fluid Testing Warning: Never use a syringe or needle to inject water into the nozzle orifices to test for blockages. Injecting water manually washes away the internal OEM factory protective fluid and risks internal manifold rupture or electrical shorts if residual moisture remains prior to powering on.
• Physical Handling Protection: The nozzle plate face consists of delicate crystal oscillators and microscopic ink channels. Avoid touching, bumping, or scraping the printhead face against mechanical components.
• Power Isolation: Always completely power off and disconnect the main power source from the printer before installation. Verify smooth carriage movement manually before switching on power.
• Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) Safety: Inspect flat ribbon cable terminals carefully. Ensure cable connectors are clean, free of ink drops, and aligned perfectly flush into the socket. Ink on cable contacts will short-circuit and burn out both the printhead and the printer main control board.
• Rail Maintenance: Clean the carriage guide shaft with paper towels and apply dedicated printer grease lightly. Do not pour liquid lubricant directly onto carriage rails to prevent oil migration into nozzle assemblies.
