Konica launches high-speed inkjet textile printer
Konica Minolta IJ Technologies Inc. has launched Nassenger VII, a high-speed inkjet textile printer equipped with newly developed high-performance inkjet printheads. Sales of the printer will begin in the European market in mid-April.
The new Nassenger VII, is characterised by newly developed 512-nozzle high-speed drive inkjet printheads to deliver a maximum print speed of 210m² per hour (approximately 3.6 times faster than its predecessor, Nassenger V) making it one of the fastest inkjet textile printers in the world.
Furthermore, equipped with a multi-gradation recording mode to control droplet size, the new printer enables the reproduction of a wide range of tones from the lightest to the darkest. While it can be difficult to produce a subtle gradation using conventional screen textile printing, the new mode meets varying design needs.
It is equipped with a high-capacity ink tank that can hold 10 litres for each colour. The inline degassing unit incorporated in the ink supply system ensures greater stability during long hours of operation.
