Konica Minolta vaunts its new superfast Nassenger Pro 120

Konica Minolta is to unveil the third in its industrial inkjet textile printer range Nassenger Pro Series machines at Fespa.

The Nassenger Pro 120 has a new printhead maintenance system and is a high-performance inkjet textile printer with double the printing speed of the Nassenger Pro 60, which was launched last year at ITMA.

The new model, which has a footprint of 15sqm, runs at 120sqm per hour and has independently-driven, water-based high-density inkjet printheads with a nine-colour ink gamut. The printhead maintenance system meanwhile, has been made to enable smooth overnight or continuous long-run printing.

The manufacturer claims that the printheads' independent drive system enables simultaneous emission from each nozzle delivering high productivity, while the system also incorporates a dryer and textile winder and rewinder.

A spokesman said that the Pro 120 offered "stable printing quality and reduced workload for the operator.
