The Konica Minolta KM1024i MHE printhead is a robust, shear mode, piezo on-demand 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.
This printhead is either used in 4-colours (2 channels per colour) and has a minimum, variable droplet size of 1.5 pico litre (max. droplet size is 21 pico litre). The typical firing frequency for this print head is 8 kHz.
It is built with longevity and robustness in mind and used in the latest industrial inkjet printers. This is Ricoh original printhead part (number MH5420) and it is covered by a manufacturer warranty. This Ricoh GEN5 is available in two different cable lengths (connector included): 140mm or 390mm.
The Konica Minolta KM1024 SHB print head is a robust, shear mode, piezo on-demand print head that is usable in both binary and 8 level greyscale mode, providing variable drop size and higher print quality without the use of additional print heads.
