Viacode L-Series High Resolution Printer

Matthews Australasia has released the Viacode L-Series High Resolution Printer in Australia.

The coder uses the patented Lexmark delivery unique drop system. According to Matthews, it is the only coding solution in the Australian market with the system. The technology is claimed to offer improved reliability, features and performance over existing thermal inkjet technologies.

Optimised drop control gives the high-speed L-Series high-quality print quality, and a large range of industrial inks make it suitable for almost any substrate - both porous and non-porous. The L-Series print heads perform in a range of challenging packaging and industrial environments and can print up to 480 m/min.

The system’s scalability means the L-Series can grow as a manufacturer’s coding requirements grow. Further features can be added as needed, so manufacturers only need to purchase the core system once, then adjust the options to meet their changing needs.

The Viacode L-Series can print alphanumeric text, barcodes and graphics, as well as TrueType fonts, scalable from 1.98 mm to 162.56 cm.

The controller can manage multiple production lines and print-head groups from a single interface. It has 7, 12 and 15″ touchscreen displays and an EZ Touch user interface allows for simple and intuitive message creation and selection. Images can be displayed for each production line.

The Viacode L-Series integrates with Matthews’ own iDSnet enterprise-wide software solutions, making integration with ERP, MRP and WMS systems effortless.
