The KM1024i 6988H is the upgraded replacement for the KM1024i MHE-D (now discontinued). It uses Shear Mode Piezo Drop-On-Demand technology and is built for high-speed, high-quality large format printing.
Ink Compatibility
Works with UV, oil-based, and solvent inks.
Key Features
- All-Nozzle Independent Drive — Unlike the old 3-cycle drive system, this head can fire all 1,024 nozzles at the same time for faster, more consistent output.
- High-Speed Printing — Max drive frequency of 45kHz, about 3x faster than the KM1024 series. Great for single-pass high-speed inkjet systems.
- Precision Print Quality — 4 rows of 256 nozzles arranged with high accuracy for sharp, detailed prints.
- Eco-Friendly Design — Uses about one-third of the petroleum-based materials and toxic chemicals compared to the KM1024 series, while keeping the same nozzle unit size.
Compatible Printers
Works with most major UV printer brands including JHF, Docan, Allwin, Flora, Gongzheng, and more.
