The Konica Minolta KM1024aLHE is a high-coverage 1024-nozzle piezo printhead featuring analogue waveform drive for superior drop control and heavy laydown. With a native 30 pl large drop volume, independent nozzle architecture and compatibility with UV, solvent and oil-based inks, it delivers strong opacity, reliable productivity and precise fluid tuning for industrial single-pass systems.
Product Overview
The Konica Minolta KM1024aLHE is an industrial inkjet printhead designed for high-speed single-pass and multi-pass systems that require analogue waveform flexibility and large native drop volume for heavy ink coverage. Built on the KM1024a independent drive platform with a precise multi-row nozzle architecture, it supports 1024 nozzles across a 72 mm print width. The native 30 pl large drop volume combined with multi-drop greyscale capability and analogue waveform control enables excellent opacity, solid coverage and high productivity. An integrated heater supports stable jetting with UV-curable, solvent and oil-based inks, making this model suitable for industrial applications requiring reliable heavy-laydown performance and precise fluid tuning.

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, especially with higher-viscosity or large-drop fluids.
- Prepare fluids correctly: filter ink to the manufacturer-recommended micron rating and follow any required degassing or conditioning procedures for the specific ink chemistry.
- Maintain stable operating temperature using the integrated heater and external system controls. Avoid rapid temperature changes that can affect large-drop jetting stability.
- Use only the exact analogue waveform, voltage and meniscus pressure settings specified by the printer OEM or drive electronics supplier. Analogue waveform flexibility requires precise tuning for optimal large-drop formation.
- Adhere strictly to the machine’s cleaning, capping and maintenance schedule. Never leave the nozzle plate exposed or dry for extended periods.
