Kyocera Corporation announces the development of a next-generation inkjet printhead offering high-speed, high-resolution printing for a wide range of printing applications, with a focus on graphics. Kyocera’s Model KJ4B-EX 1200 is available now, which is featuring ink recirculation and amazing 1.5 picolitre minimum droplet size. Kyocera’s KJ4EX series of printheads utilise large integrated piezo actuators that enable higher-resolution printing by homogenizing image quality inside the printhead. The series’ first model, the 600dpi KJ4B-EX600 printhead, has been available since April 2020.
KJ4B-EX 1200 is Kyocera’s latest model for a wide range of printing applications, with a focus on graphics. Its 1200-dpi ink recirculation structure achieves high-resolution printing with 25 percent faster print speed than conventional models. Kyocera plans to gradually expand its lineup to include larger-drop-volume and UV compatible models. Kyocera developed a large integrated piezo actuator using its proprietary material design technology for dense polycrystalline ceramic actuators and manufacturing process technology for thin piezoelectric ceramic substrates.
