Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Availability: In stock
The Konica Minolta KM512 LNX-35 is a genuine original shear-mode piezo on-demand printhead engineered for high-volume wide-format solvent, oil-based, and UV ink printing. With 512 nozzles in 2 precision rows of 256 at 70.5 µm nozzle spacing, a 36.1 mm print width at 360 dpi native resolution, and a fixed 35 pl drop size at up to 10 kHz — the LNX-35 is a workhorse binary-mode head designed for bold, high-density output across banners, billboards, vinyl, and tarpaulin. Every genuine OEM unit includes the Head ID and waveform information required for proper printer integration. Compatible with a broad range of Chinese and international wide-format solvent printers from Allwin, Apollo, JHF Vista, Myjet, Rodin, Skynet, Maxima, Aestrik, and Anhui Liyu. Every KM512 LNX-35 we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original Konica Minolta — manufactured in Japan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "binary mode only" mean for the KM512 LNX-35 — and does it affect print quality?
Binary mode means each nozzle fires either a full 35 pl drop or nothing at all — there are no intermediate drop sizes. The head cannot produce variable drop volumes or grayscale levels. For bold graphics, banners, billboards, and high-coverage outdoor signage where solid colour saturation and throughput matter most, binary mode at 35 pl is entirely appropriate and produces excellent results. For photographic-quality output with smooth tonal gradation and fine detail, a grayscale-capable head such as the KM512i MAB-C is more suitable. Your printer's OEM specification and intended output type determine which is the correct choice.
Why does the KM512 LNX-35 include Head ID and waveform information — and why does it matter?
The Head ID is a unique identifier embedded in each genuine Konica Minolta printhead that allows the printer's electronics and firmware to recognise the specific head installed, validate its authenticity, and apply the correct drive parameters automatically. The waveform information defines the precise electrical pulse shape used to fire each nozzle for the specific drop volume and ink type the head is designed for. Non-OEM or counterfeit heads often lack valid Head ID data or waveform files, causing the printer to reject the head entirely, default to generic drive parameters that damage the nozzles, or produce inconsistent jetting. Genuine KM512 LNX-35 heads from Digiprint USA include both.
The KM512 LNX-35 has no integrated heater — does that mean it cannot use UV inks?
Not necessarily — it means the printer itself must handle UV ink temperature management rather than the head. Many UV-compatible printers have an external ink heating system in the ink supply path that brings the UV ink to the correct viscosity before it reaches the printhead. In those systems, the KM512 LNX-35 can jet UV inks reliably. However, if your printer has no external ink heating and relies on a head-integrated heater — as some systems do — the LNX-35 is not suitable for UV applications without additional ink temperature control. Confirm your printer's ink heating architecture with our team before ordering for UV use.
Do you ship the Konica Minolta KM512 LNX-35 to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse before 2PM EST. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American JHF Vista, Apollo, Allwin, and Myjet wide-format solvent production shops using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
