Global Inkjet Systems (GIS) now offers its flexible drive electronics and software for the Konica Minolta KM1024aSHE and KM1024aLHG-RC and industrial inkjet printheads via its Ethernet platform.
The printheads are compatible with solvent, oil, and UV inks, and the KM1024aLHG-RC can also run aqueous inks. Support for both is available through the GIS HMB-DG2 Ethernet Head Management Board, and a new GIS Analogue Head Board (AHB), the AHB-KM-1024a, to drive each KM104aSHE or LHG-RC printhead to its full potential.
The GIS HMB-DG2 / AHB-KM-1024a configuration has a flexible design and can drive up to 2 x KM1024aSHE or LHG-RC printheads. It comes with an option to add up to two stackable daughter boards to support up to six printhead connections and multiple HMBs scaled to support larger systems. The HMB-DG2 includes print data management, waveform control and printhead diagnostics, all accessed over Ethernet. The GIS data path hardware is complemented by Atlas software offering optional Rip, VDP and image quality (IQ) tools.
