Features

Independent Multi-Row Drive Structure Printhead Unlike conventional shared drive methods, this head adopts an independent drive for all 1024 nozzles. With 256 nozzles × 4 rows arranged at high density, it improves nozzle positioning accuracy and enables high-precision printing.

Maximum Drive Frequency of 45 kHz (Approx. 3 Times Higher than KM1024 Series) By adopting an independent drive system, the head achieves a maximum drive frequency of 45 kHz, about three times that of the KM1024 series. This makes it ideal for industrial high-speed, high-precision inkjet printing applications.

Stable Jetting Performance and Superior Ink Resistance Designed for long-term industrial use, the KM1024i head offers stable jetting performance and a robust, ink-resistant structure that helps prevent clogging and supports smooth ink flow.

Built-In Heater for Optimal Ink Temperature Control The KM1024i printhead includes a high-performance built-in heater, ensuring stable temperature control for high-viscosity inks commonly used in industrial applications.

360 npi High-Resolution Printing with up to 8 Grayscale Levels Like the conventional KM1024, this model achieves high resolution with enhanced IC performance. It supports up to 8 grayscale levels, enabling fine image gradation and smooth tonal expression in advanced industrial printing.

Eco-Friendly Green Product Certification Compared with conventional KM1024 heads, this head reduces the amount of environmentally harmful petrochemical substances by about one-third, making it a more sustainable choice.

Applications & Cross-References

• Agfa Part Numbers: D2+755020600085 / 7550206-0008
• Agfa Anapurna M2540: Uses KM1024i MHE for color inks (CMYK) and KM1024LNB for white ink.
• Polytype DigiCup: Uses PPHKM19089 for color inks (CMYK) and PPHKM18435 for white ink.
• Compatible Replacements: Can be replaced by Konica 6988H and Konica Revo-H. (Note: Different types of printheads cannot be mixed/installed together on the same printer).

IMPORTANT: Compatibility & Version Note (Read Before Buying)

• Potential Issue: Some older Liyu and Agfa printers that were originally fitted with the “No-Dot” version may not recognize this new “3-Dot” printhead.
• Solution: If your printer does not recognize the head, the printer’s head board (carriage board) must be upgraded to a newer version compatible with current Konica Minolta printheads.

If you need assistance in sourcing the correct upgraded head board, please feel free to contact our technical support team.
