The ENM10104650 is the genuine OEM High Speed 300 DPI Near Edge thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) printhead for the Markem Imaje SmartDate X60 and X65 coders, featuring a 53mm print width. Also referenced by the Kyocera part numbers KCE-53-12PAT1-X60 and KCE-53-12PAR1-MKME, as well as the Markem Imaje catalogue numbers ENM10058307 and 10058307, this is a distinct variant from the Standard Wear Resistant (ENM10104648) and the High Energy (ENM10104651). The High Speed designation identifies a Near Edge printhead element optimised for maximum throughput — printing at up to 1800mm/s on the SmartDate X65 and up to 1000mm/s on the SmartDate X60 at full 300 DPI resolution.
Understanding which X60 / X65 printhead variant your coder requires is critical before ordering. If you are unsure which variant is currently installed, contact us with your printer serial number or the part number on your existing printhead label and our team will confirm the correct replacement before you order.

The ENM10104650 Near Edge printhead is engineered for the SmartDate X60 and X65’s maximum production speed configurations — delivering 300 DPI TTO coding at up to 1800mm/s and 455 packs per minute on the SmartDate X65, and up to 1000mm/s on the SmartDate X60. The Near Edge element design positions the heating elements at the very edge of the printhead substrate, minimising the distance between heat generation and ribbon transfer — enabling the sharp, consistent code quality needed at the highest packaging line speeds without compromising barcode scan reliability or compliance code legibility.
The ENM10104650 is a genuine Markem Imaje OEM printhead manufactured by Kyocera to the exact Near Edge thermal element specifications of the SmartDate X60 and X65 High Speed configuration. It arrives in original branded packaging with full OEM warranty, ensuring direct drop-in installation with no calibration, no print parameter adjustment, and no risk to your packaging line uptime or compliance status.
The ENM10104650 High Speed variant is optimised for use with near-edge wax-resin ribbons on standard flexible packaging substrates including polypropylene, polyethylene, polyolefin, nylon, and polyester films — covering the most common flexible packaging applications on SmartDate X60 and X65 lines in food, beverage, and consumer goods production.
At maximum SmartDate X65 throughput, code quality must remain consistent and audit-ready on every pack. The ENM10104650 High Speed printhead maintains the 300 DPI print precision required for GS1 barcode verifiability, serialisation compliance, and regulatory date coding at the line speeds where the SmartDate X65 is most commonly deployed in high-output FMCG packaging environments.
The Markem Imaje SmartDate X60 and X65 are available with three different 53mm printhead configurations. Selecting the correct variant is essential for consistent print quality and maximum printhead service life.
ENM10104648 – Standard Wear Resistant: For standard production speeds with conventional flexible packaging films and wax-resin ribbons. Balanced performance and durability for general TTO coding applications.
ENM10104650 – High Speed Near Edge (this product): For maximum line throughput at up to 1800mm/s on the X65. Optimised for standard flexible films with near-edge wax-resin ribbon combinations where speed is the primary requirement.
ENM10104651 – High Energy: For difficult-to-print substrates and full resin ribbon combinations where higher thermal energy transfer is required to achieve adequate ink transfer and code durability.
If you are unsure which variant is installed in your SmartDate X60 or X65, contact us with your printer serial number or the part number on your current printhead and our team will confirm the correct replacement before you order.
Food and Beverage – The SmartDate X65 with ENM10104650 High Speed printhead is the benchmark TTO solution for high-output bakery, dairy, snack, ready-meal, and beverage flexible packaging lines running at maximum throughput. The Near Edge design maintains 300 DPI code clarity at up to 455 packs per minute — keeping pace with the fastest FMCG packaging lines without sacrificing barcode scan reliability or best-before date legibility.
Pharmaceuticals – High-speed pharmaceutical packaging lines using the SmartDate X65 for serialisation, GS1 DataMatrix coding, and regulatory compliance labelling on primary flexible packaging depend on the ENM10104650 High Speed printhead for consistent barcode verifiability at maximum line speeds.
Cosmetics and Personal Care – High-volume cosmetics and personal care packaging operations using the SmartDate X60 or X65 for batch coding, date marking, and brand traceability on sachets, foil pouches, and laminate film packaging rely on the ENM10104650 for consistent Near Edge output across continuous production runs.
Electronics Packaging – Electronics manufacturers coding compliance information, serial numbers, and traceability data on flexible film packaging use the SmartDate X60 and X65 with the ENM10104650 High Speed printhead for fast, reliable variable data coding on film-wrapped products.
Replace the ENM10104650 when you notice any of the following on your SmartDate X60 or X65 output:
Faded, inconsistent, or incomplete code output at high production line speeds
White streaks, voids, or missing elements in date codes, barcodes, or text fields across the 53mm print width
Barcode scan failures or GS1 verification grade degradation at the packaging line inspector
Visible physical wear, scratching, or Near Edge element damage on the printhead surface
Print quality alerts or maintenance notifications on the SmartDate X60 or X65 control interface
Regular printhead cleaning after each ribbon cassette change is recommended to extend ENM10104650 service life. Proactive replacement before complete element failure prevents unplanned line stoppages and maintains audit-ready code quality at all times.
What is the difference between ENM10104650 and ENM10104648 / ENM10104651?
All three are 53mm 300 DPI OEM printheads for the SmartDate X60 and X65, but optimised for different applications. ENM10104648 is the Standard Wear Resistant version for general TTO applications. ENM10104650 is the High Speed Near Edge version for maximum line throughput on standard flexible films. ENM10104651 is the High Energy version for difficult substrates requiring higher thermal output. Installing the wrong variant will result in suboptimal print quality or premature printhead wear.
What Kyocera and alternative part numbers correspond to ENM10104650?
The ENM10104650 is also referenced as ENM10058307, 10058307, KCE-53-12PAT1-X60, KCE-53-12PAR1-MKME, and GTEQ-5360PH. All describe the same genuine OEM 53mm High Speed Near Edge 300 DPI TTO printhead for the SmartDate X60 and X65.
How do I confirm which printhead variant is installed in my SmartDate X60 or X65?
The OEM part number is printed on a label on the printhead body. Open the printhead cassette on your SmartDate and check the label for the ENM or KCE part number. Contact us with that number and we will confirm the correct replacement variant before you order.
Is ENM10104650 compatible with the SmartDate X60-128 or X65-128 wide-format configuration?
No. The ENM10104650 is the 53mm printhead. The X60-128 and X65-128 configurations require a 128mm printhead with a different OEM part number. Contact us for the correct wide-format printhead if needed.
Do you offer bulk pricing or international export shipping?
Yes. We support single unit orders and bulk procurement with full commercial documentation for international export via DHL, FedEx, and UPS. Contact us for volume pricing and lead time confirmation on the ENM10104650.
