The Kyocera KJ4B-1200 is a 1200dpi industrial-grade piezoelectric inkjet printhead developed by Kyocera for water-based inks. With its wide-format design and high-density nozzle layout, it is widely used in commercial printing, transaction and document printing, security printing (including MICR magnetic ink), and textile printing—capable of handling both single-pass and multi-pass applications. Equipped with up to 5,312 nozzles and a generous 112.42 mm effective print width, the printhead covers a larger area in a single pass, effectively boosting overall productivity.
Built on Kyocera’s proprietary piezoelectric ceramic actuator and precision ink-channel design, the KJ4B-1200 maintains a stable ink supply and uniform, consistent jetting performance, delivering fine, high-resolution output with accurate color reproduction. Its grayscale-variable drop sizes of 1.5 to 5 picoliters balance high-precision detail with high-density fill, making it well suited to industrial printing applications with demanding image-quality requirements. With its proven, reliable structure, wide-format high-output capability, and strong compatibility with water-based inks, the Kyocera KJ4B-1200 is a stable and durable printhead choice for a wide range of industrial digital printing equipment, while its standardized electrical interface simplifies device integration and upgrades.
