KM1024i Series Konica Minolta Printhead
High speed, high productivity printheads with ‘independent’ firing technology.
Proven in a wide range of single-pass systems.
Simple to integrate, tough and reliable with good fluid compatibility
Available in 6, 14 and 30pl drop sizes.
Inkjet Printhead featuring an All-nozzle Independent Drive System with a Multi-line Structure
In contrast with the existing 3-cycle system drive, an independent drive system that enables simultaneous emission from all 1024 nozzles has been adopted. The high-density structure featuring 4 lines of 256 nozzles aligned with high precision enhances positioning accuracy to realize high-definition print quality.
Maximum Drive Frequency (45kHz) approximately 3 Times greater than that of the KM1024 Series
Adoption of an independent drive system has made it possible to realize a drive frequency (45kHz) approximately 3 times greater than that of the KM1024 Series. This is the ideal inkjet printhead for development of single-pass system inkjet printers capable of high-speed printing.
Head Structure featuring Stable Emission Performance and Outstanding Ink Tolerance
KM1024i enables stable emission of a wide variety of industrial links and features and ink-tolerant structure. In addition, the structure is capable of ink circulation, making it possible to also use ink prone to precipitation.
Appropriate Control of Ink Temperature by the High-performance Built-in Heater
KM1024i features a high-performance heater built into the head, enabling stable temperature control of high-viscosity and other inks used in industrial applications.
Capable of Printing of a Maximum of 8 drop sizes, High Resolution Nozzles of 360npi
Like the existing KM1024 Series, KM1024i is mounted with a high-performance IC to enable printing of a maximum of 8 drop sizes. This makes the product ideal for new applications that require even greater richness of gradient expression and high-definition image quality.
Environmentally-considerate Approved Green Product (*1)
KM1024i incorporates only approximately one-third(*2) of the petroleum-derived materials and toxic chemicals used in the current KM1024 Series. In addition, the nozzle unit surface area is the same as that of the KM1024 Series.
- *1:Concerning Green Product Approval
