The 5581190 is a genuine Avery Dennison OEM printhead — not a compatible or remanufactured alternative. It is built by one of the world’s leading thermal printhead manufacturers (Kyocera, ROHM, or Toshiba) to the exact specifications defined by Avery Dennison for the Snap500. This means direct drop-in installation with no calibration required and no compatibility risk, ensuring your Snap500 is back in full operation within minutes of replacement.
At 300 DPI, the 5581190 printhead delivers sharp, legible output for care instructions, brand text, size information, regulatory compliance symbols, and barcode data on sew-in textile labels. The Snap500 supports up to three printheads simultaneously, and maintaining genuine 300 DPI heads across all positions ensures consistent multi-head print registration and output quality.
The Snap500 is designed for continuous high-speed fabric label production at up to 7 ips, with print, cut, batch, and stack operations running in a single pass. The 5581190 printhead is built to perform reliably under these demanding production conditions, maintaining consistent output quality across long print runs without degradation.
Because the 5581190 is designed specifically for the Snap500, installation is straightforward. The Snap500’s virtual control panel and voice prompt system simplify the replacement process further, minimizing operator training requirements and getting your production line back up quickly.
We have successfully supplied the 5581190 printhead to apparel manufacturers, garment factories, and Snap500 operators across Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.

The 5581190 printhead is a wear component that degrades over time under continuous thermal transfer printing. Replace it when you notice any of the following on your Snap500 output:
Faded, uneven, or inconsistent print density across the label width
White streaks, voids, or missing lines in text, graphics, or barcode areas
Care symbols or compliance text becoming illegible or failing inspection
Increased cleaning frequency with no sustained improvement in print quality
Visible physical wear or scratching on the printhead surface
Regular printhead cleaning after each ribbon roll change is recommended to extend the service life of the 5581190. When cleaning no longer restores acceptable print quality, replacement is the correct course of action.
Is 5581190 the same as 05581190, 05631190S, and BHP6212FS?
Yes. These part numbers all refer to the same genuine OEM 300 DPI printhead for the Avery Dennison Snap500. Different part number formats are used across different markets and documentation versions but the product is identical.
What is the difference between the 300 DPI (5581190) and 600 DPI (5631194) Snap500 printhead?
The 5581190 is the standard 300 DPI printhead suitable for most care label, compliance, and brand label applications. The 5631194 is the optional 600 DPI printhead, which delivers higher resolution output for applications requiring extremely fine text or high-content care labels where legibility at very small font sizes is critical. Contact us if you are unsure which resolution is correct for your application.
How many printheads does the Snap500 use?
The Avery Dennison Snap500 supports up to three printheads simultaneously, enabling two-color front printing and single-color back printing (2/1 configuration) or other combinations. Each printhead position uses the same 5581190 OEM unit for the 300 DPI configuration.
Can I install the 5581190 printhead myself?
Yes. The Snap500 is designed for operator-level printhead replacement, supported by voice prompts and a virtual control panel that guide you through the process. No specialist tools or technical service are required. Our team is available to assist if needed.
