## Long description

Waste ink collection unit Ricoh 257019 for Ricoh Ri 100 is a replacement ink absorber designed to collect and retain residual and purge ink produced during printhead maintenance cycles. This component fits into the maintenance area of compatible Ricoh Ri 100 direct-to-garment printers and helps prevent overflow, staining, and contamination of internal components by safely storing waste ink until the unit is replaced.
Advantages
The waste ink collection unit provides a compact, serviceable solution for managing maintenance waste without modifying printer hardware. It reduces the risk of internal ink contamination and staining, supports consistent printhead performance by ensuring proper maintenance cycle drainage, and simplifies routine maintenance by making waste ink removal a single replaceable operation.
Suitable for
 Replacing a full or saturated waste ink absorber in Ricoh Ri 100 direct-to-garment printers
 Regular maintenance to prevent ink leaks and internal contamination
 Workshops and production environments using Ri 100 printers where reliable ink management is required
When it may not be suitable
This waste ink collection unit is intended specifically for compatible Ricoh Ri 100 printers; it may not fit or function correctly in other printer models or brands.
