New and Original Konica KM1024 SHB 6PL Printhead

New and Original Konica KM1024 SHB 6PL Printhead

The unit is equipped with twice the number of nozzles mounted on the KM512 printhead, enabling the high density required to realize the 72mm print width.

This increased width further enhances applicability to printing systems (e.g. Single-pass inkjet printers) that demand high productivity.

Konica Minolta piezo on-demand inkjet heads are already driven using lower voltages than other inkjet heads and the new actuator used in the KM1024 reduces power consumption even further. This makes the printhead ideally suited to "green" design and shows Konica Minolta’s ongoing consideration for the environment.

The KM1024 printheads can be mounted very closely together minimising out of alignment errors in the transport or traverse system. This improves print registration resulting in consistently higher quality print. As multiple printheads can be mounted in a smaller space it is often possible to greatly reduce the length of the print path resulting in an overall reduction in machine size.

The KM1024 is suitable for use in a diverse range of industrial printing applications.

The product range includes heads with an integral heater and compatibility with solvent, UV and oil ink types

The KM1024 Series features environmentally considerate products ( With Green Product Approval*).

Compared to the KM512 Series, the CO2 emissions level during usage of the product has been reduced by approximately 50% thanks to the development of the low-capacitance actuator. In addition, the amount of petroleum-derived resources used has been reduced by approximately 20%. The product also features a slimmer printhead, lighter weight (approximately 20% less than the KM512 Series) and a footprint approximately 20% smaller.
