TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) (TOKYO:4902) (ISIN:JP3300600008) today announced that it has developed three new industrial inkjet printheads that adopt its independently developed MEMS technologies. The mass production is planned to start in the spring of 2016.
The new inkjet printheads deliver higher resolution, higher accuracy and more enhanced jet characteristics than the existing printheads, while Konica Minolta’s independently developed MEMS technologies have realized the compact size and compatibility with a wide range of inks. With the introduction of these new products, Konica Minolta meets the market’s needs for higher performance inkjet printheads and will contribute to further growth of the printer market and development of new industrial inkjet applications.
Major Features
High-density Nozzle Array Head
Konica
Minolta’s independently developed MEMS technologies have enabled 1024
nozzles to be arrayed three-dimensionally in high density. Furthermore,
the company’s proprietary robust design has realized both
high-resolution and high-accuracy inkjet printheads.
Improved Ink Resistance and Wide Viscosity Correspondency for Every
Industrial Ink
Based on Konica Minolta’s long-fostered material
technologies and highly heat-resistant design, the new printheads have
improved resistance with inks, ranging from low-viscosity inks (aqueous
inks) to high-viscosity inks (including UV inks and solvent inks), and
are compatible with every industrial ink.
Good for Use in Commercial Printing and Label Printing with
Requirements for Higher Definition, Along with Printed Electronics (PE)
As
the new printheads can print with higher resolution than existing
products, they have improved applicability to commercial printing and
label printing which require higher definition. They can also be used
for PE and other applications that need higher jetting accuracy.
Ideal to Design High-resolution and Compact Printers
As the
nozzle integration has made the printheads very compact, they can help
printer manufacturers design high-resolution and compact printers.
