Kyocera announces that its second generation of inkjet printheads, designed for textiles, packaging, graphics and industrial markets, are the world’s fastest inkjet technology. By increasing the volume of each drop of ink ejected from the printheads and enhancing droplet-ejection consistency, the new series allows high-resolution printing on a wider variety of media. According to a release from Kyocera, a 600-dpi model, the new KJ4B-EX 600 will be available in April 2020, with others to follow. The new printheads are specially designed to deliver high-speed, high-quality printing on paper, cardboard, plastic, fabric, and other building materials.
Since 2007 Kyocera has been at the forefront of the digital revolution in commercial printing globally. The company first applied its proprietary fine ceramic technology to create ultra-high-speed piezo actuators for its world-record-setting KJ4 series inkjet printheads. The new KJ4 EX series builds on this legacy with a large, integrated piezo actuator and streamlined structure. By increasing the volume of each drop of ink ejected from the printheads and enhancing droplet-ejection consistency, the new series allows high-resolution printing on a wider variety of media. At the same time, durability of the printheads is enhanced by improving its structural strength and rigidity.
