Product catalog summary
Overview: The VIAjetTM L1 is a high-resolution thermal inkjet printhead designed for primary coding and high-speed commercial printing applications. It is compact and integrates easily into OEM machinery, making it suitable for web applications.
Specifications: The L1 printhead offers a maximum print height of 12.5 mm and a resolution ranging from 75W x 600H dpi to 1,200W x 600H dpi. It supports high-speed printing, achieving up to 488 m/min at 75 dpi. The printhead dimensions are 143 x 92 x 42 mm, and it weighs 440 g.
System Integration: The L1 printheads connect to an L-Link control module, which can manage up to four printheads. The system is controlled by the MPERIA® universal print controller, capable of handling multiple L-Links and processing large databases for dynamic data printing.
Print Speed and DPI: The system supports very high print speeds, with capabilities for stitching and interlacing printheads to enhance resolution and speed. It uses cutting-edge inks suitable for both porous and non-porous surfaces.
Inks and Cartridges: The L1 supports multi-color water-based and alcohol-based inks, available in single-use 40 ml cartridges or a 1-liter bulk ink system.
Connectivity and Scalability: Up to four L1 printheads can connect to a single L-Link, and multiple L-Links can connect to a single MPERIA® controller over Ethernet. The system is compatible with various ERP, MRP, and database systems, and can control multiple printer technologies.
Cost-Saving Features: The system offers grayscaling and ink-saving fonts, with bulk ink cartridges providing up to 2 liters of ink, reducing costs compared to other TIJ systems.
Operating Conditions: The operating temperature ranges from 10–40ºC with humidity levels of 10–95% RH, depending on the ink type.

VIAjet L-Series L1-1

The VIAjetTM L1 high-resolution thermal ink jet printhead is a compact, high performance printhead offered by Matthews Marking Systems, making it ideal for primary coding and high speed commercial printing applications such as mailings, promotional coding, lottery coding and serialization. Each L1 printhead prints a 1/2” (12.5mm) mark up to 600 dpi, allowing customers to mark and code at high speeds without sacrificing print quality or resolution. Due to its small footprint, the L1 integrates into OEM machinery with ease and is ideal for web applications. The VIAjetTM L1 printheads connect to an L-Link, a compact, low profile and fully networkable control module. Capable of controlling up to four L1 printheads, each L1 can be remotely mounted up to 6 feet (2 meters) from the L-Link, making it easy to add printheads as needed. The L1/L-Link system is controlled by MPERIA®, Matthews’ universal print controller, capable of networking and controlling multiple L-Links from a single location. The MPERIA® controller manages messages and settings for multiple printers across one or several production lines or packaging locations. MPERIA® can process large databases of dynamic data (up to 10 million unique entries) and print more than 500 unique 2D codes per second from one single controller. MPERIA® is scalable, allowing for the addition of other printheads or print technologies, including competitor printers. One controller to control all of your marking requirements on primary, secondary and tertiary packaging. Print Speed VS DPI Competitor PRINT SPEED (FT/MIN) Single L1 Dual L1 (Interlaced) + Very high print speed, twice as fast as similar industry controllers + Capable of stitching and interlacing printheads for increased resolution and speeds + Cutting-edge waterbased and fast-drying solvent-based ink for porous and non-porous surfaces + Available in single use 40ml cartridges or large volume
