Video jet 408554 Printhead (107 mm, 300 DPI) – OEM Thermal Transfer Printhead for DataFlex 6530

The Video jet 408554 printhead is the OEM 107 mm thermal transfer printhead used in VJ DataFlex 6530 (107 mm) and Linx TT1000 (107 mm) overprinters. With 300 DPI resolution, it prints sharp, durable variable data at high line speeds on flexible packaging.

When the printhead wears out, codes start to look faded, edges blur, and the printer rejects ribbons or drops bars from barcodes. Swapping in a new 408554 restores crisp codes, clean QR and barcode reads, and consistent print speed – with no change to the printer setup.
