Konica Minolta KM512 Printhead | Industrial Piezo Inkjet Head Series
The Konica Minolta KM512 printhead family uses shear-mode piezo drop-on-demand technology for industrial solvent and UV printing. Every model has 512 nozzles at 360 dpi across a 36.1 mm print width, while droplet size, grayscale mode, ink chemistry and internal heating differ by variant.
Why choose a Konica Minolta KM512 print head
KM512 industrial inkjet printheads are used in super-wide graphics, signage and specialist production systems. Choose by exact model code: the MNX and MHX use fine 14 pl droplets with grayscale, LNX and LHX use 42 pl binary jetting, and LNX-35 uses a 35 pl solvent configuration.
Shared-wall piezo design
Piezo drop-on-demand actuation supports a compact, high-density nozzle array with relatively low drive power.
Binary and grayscale choices
MNX and MHX support four-level grayscale; LNX, LHX and LNX-35 are binary heads for fixed-drop production.
Model-specific ink support
Konica Minolta officially lists LNX, MNX and LNX-35 for solvent ink, while heated LHX and MHX models are listed for UV ink.
Easy head alignment
The common wing-style housing helps system builders align multiple heads for wide or single-pass printing arrays.
