Konica KM512 LNX Printheads (35PL / 42PL)

The Konica KM512 LNX series printheads (35PL / 42PL) are designed specifically for solvent-based and oil-based inks. They feature 512 nozzles, 360 dpi native resolution, support up to 7.6 kHz firing frequency, and deliver stable, reliable operation.

LNX-35PL: Smaller droplet size (35 pl), suitable for high-definition image output.

LNX-42PL: Larger droplet size (42 pl), suitable for high ink coverage and high-speed printing.

These printheads are widely used in outdoor advertising, lightboxes, vehicle graphics, banners, PVC backlit films, and other industrial printing applications.

Core Advantages

Stable Output & High Ink Coverage

Fixed droplet sizes (35pl / 42pl) ensure stable ink output. Ideal for large-area coverage and high-speed production.

Binary inkjet control improves image density and weather resistance.

Wide-Format & High Compatibility

512-nozzle array (2 × 256) supports wide-format printing.

Compatible with solvent and oil-based ink systems. Works reliably across a wide range of materials.

High Durability & Industrial Reliability

Robust and durable construction, suitable for long-term stable operation.

Easy to install and calibrate, supporting integration with mainstream domestic and imported equipment.

Limitations

Does not support grayscale printing, making it less suitable for ultra-fine gradient images.

Larger droplet volume may not be ideal for extremely high-detail outputs.

Higher ink consumption compared to small-droplet printheads.

Initial setup and waveform tuning are recommended under professional guidance.

Application Scenarios

Outdoor Advertising Printing

Posters, lightbox films, car stickers, knife-scraped banners, canvas, and other large-format materials.

Ideal for advertising companies and print shops that require strong weather resistance and high color saturation.

PVC / Label / Building Materials Applications

Printing on self-adhesive films, label films, coated soft films, PVC sheets, and wallpaper substrates.

Printing on architectural and decorative materials such as window films, wood-grain films, and metal composite materials.

Packaging Printing & Electrical Films

Suitable for outer layers of color boxes, corrugated packaging, and chemical-resistant films such as PET/PP.

Functional pattern output for electronic films, conductive films, and roll-to-roll circuit materials.

Usage Recommendations

Clean the ink inlet area before installation to ensure stable ink supply.

Use manufacturer-recommended inks to avoid sedimentation and nozzle clogging.

Perform waveform calibration during first-time installation, preferably with engineering support.

Carry out regular nozzle checks and cleaning to maintain stable performance.

In high-temperature or high-humidity environments, use temperature control and ink circulation systems.
