    If they are from Indonisia & cheapish then I doubt they are going to be genuine. Could be re-manufactured under licence but more than likely reverse engineered as a lot of stuff sold from Indonisia, China etc etc.

    If you do a search on the forum there have been a few posts by people asking if anyone knows where to get hold of the printheads, maybe something in one of those threads that can help you.

    I have bought 2 from Hong Kong and they were genuine but the 60 and 600 really are different they will fit but different set ups.
    As said before Roland usa still support the 600 at a reasonable price the last I spoke to one of there techs.
    There are many scams about heads for these printers and the big ink jet ones best advice is tread carefully and can you afford to lose your money.
