Product Overview
The Konica Minolta KM1024iSHE-C is a high-performance industrial inkjet printhead engineered for high-resolution, high-speed single-pass and multi-pass systems using UV-curable and solvent-based inks. Built on Konica Minolta’s independent drive architecture with four precisely aligned rows of 256 nozzles, it enables simultaneous firing of all 1024 nozzles at frequencies up to 56 kHz. The native 6 pl drop volume combined with 8-level greyscale capability delivers outstanding image quality and smooth tonal transitions, while the integrated heater ensures stable jetting performance across a wide range of industrial ink formulations. Its compact, robust design makes it ideal for continuous high-volume production in signage, industrial decoration and packaging applications.

Technical Precision & Operational Advisory
- Strict ESD protection is mandatory. Always use grounded wrist straps, anti-static mats and proper handling procedures when installing or servicing the printhead.
- Complete power isolation of the printer and drive electronics is required before any installation, removal or maintenance work.
- Replace all ink supply lines, filters, dampers and connectors during installation to eliminate contamination risk and ensure optimal performance.
- Prepare fluids correctly: filter ink to the OEM-recommended micron rating and follow degassing procedures if specified for the ink chemistry in use.
- Maintain stable operating temperature using the integrated heater and external system controls (typically ambient to 55 °C). Avoid thermal shock.
- Use only the exact waveform, voltage and meniscus pressure settings provided by the printer manufacturer. Incorrect parameters will reduce print quality and head life.
- Follow the machine’s prescribed cleaning, capping and maintenance schedule rigorously. Never allow the nozzle plate to dry out for extended periods.
