The Konica Minolta KM1024iMHE-D is a high-productivity 1024-nozzle piezo printhead designed for industrial single-pass systems requiring balanced coverage and speed. With a native 13 pl drop volume, independent nozzle drive up to 45 kHz and full compatibility with UV, solvent and oil-based inks, it delivers reliable performance and excellent laydown for medium-detail production printing.
Product Overview
The Konica Minolta KM1024iMHE-D is a robust industrial inkjet printhead engineered for high-speed single-pass and multi-pass printing applications that require a medium native drop volume. Featuring an independent drive system and a precise 4-row nozzle architecture (256 nozzles × 4), it enables simultaneous firing of all 1024 nozzles at frequencies up to 45 kHz. The 13 pl calibrated drop size provides an optimal balance between image quality, ink coverage and productivity, making it ideal for UV flatbed, hybrid and industrial decoration systems. An integrated heater ensures stable jetting performance across UV-curable, solvent and oil-based inks, while the compact mechanical design supports reliable long-term operation in continuous production environments. This version is commonly referenced with the current drive board revision used in many OEM systems.

Technical Precision & Operational Advisory
- Strict ESD protection is mandatory during handling and installation. Always use grounded wrist straps, anti-static work surfaces and proper packaging procedures.
- Ensure complete power isolation of the printer and drive electronics before installing or removing the printhead.
- Replace all ink supply tubes, filters, dampers and connectors when installing a new head to prevent contamination and maintain optimal flow.
- Prepare fluids correctly: filter ink to the manufacturer-recommended micron rating and follow any required degassing procedures for the specific ink chemistry.
- Maintain stable operating temperature using the integrated heater and external system controls (typically ambient to 55 °C). Avoid rapid temperature changes.
- Use only the exact waveform, voltage and meniscus pressure settings specified by the printer OEM. Incorrect drive parameters will reduce print quality and service life.
- Adhere strictly to the machine’s cleaning, capping and maintenance schedule. Never leave the nozzle plate exposed or dry for extended periods.
