TTP Meteor further expands its product portfolio with the addition of the HDC-2KM2418i Head Driver Card for use with Konica Minolta^TM KM1800i and KM1024i printheads.   

OEMs and print system integrators choosing Konica Minolta KM1800i or KM1024i printheads can now benefit from the unrivalled ease of integration, scalable configuration and powerful feature set offered by Meteor drive electronics and software.

KM1800i and KM1024i printheads from Konica Minolta feature “independent” firing technology which enables simultaneous jetting from all nozzles making these heads ideal for high speed single-pass printers in applications such as packaging, textiles and commercial printing. Meteor’s modular and scalable driving solution is capable of bringing out the best in these printheads.  The new HDC-2KM2418i Head Driver Card is used in conjunction with Meteor’s immensely successful PCC-E Print Controller.  Flexible image manipulation and storage options allow customers to configure the Meteor datapath to meet the needs of their chosen application in any printhead layout, large or small. With Meteor, there is no obligation to adopt, re-brand or circumvent a standard user interface. Customers can create printers that suit their specific application and design requirements. 

Clive Ayling, TTP Meteor’s General Manager said, “With this new product offering, we are pleased to reinforce Meteor’s relationship with Konica Minolta. The solid combination of Konica Minolta printheads and Meteor electronics and software provides an easy to integrate, scalable solution with the assurance of long-term, reliable supply for high volume production requirements.”

The HDC-2KM2418i Head Driver Card together with the PCC-E GbitE Print Controller is now available from TTP Meteor for selected OEMs.
