The Konica Minolta KM1024i MHE-D printhead is a robust, shear mode, piezo on-demand printhead featuring an All-nozzle Independent Drive System with a Multi-line Structure. In contrast with the existing 3-cycle system drive, an independent drive system that enables simultaneous emission from all 1024 nozzles has been adopted. The high-density structure featuring 4 lines of 256 nozzles aligned with high precision enhances positioning accuracy to realize high-definition print quality. The Konica Minolta KM1024i MHE printhead offers a Maximum Drive Frequency of 45kHz, approximately 3 Times greater than that of the KM1024 Series, which makes it the ideal inkjet printhead for development of single-pass system inkjet printers capable of high-speed printing.

The Konica Minolta KM1024i MHE printhead incorporates only approximately one-third of the petroleum-derived materials and toxic chemicals used in the current KM1024 Series. In addition, the nozzle unit surface area is the same as that of the KM1024 Series.
