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.
