Highlighted solutions include:

MPERIA A-Series

The latest addition to the Matthews’ portfolio is a new compact print and apply product line, the MPERIA A-Series. The A-Series provides consistent and precise label placement with configurations for virtually any application. Once applied, the system automatically validates code readability to ensure quality. The A-Series is designed with safety in mind, with minimal moving parts, intelligent controls, and safety sensors to eliminate risk to the operator.

VIAjet L-Series Thermal Inkjet Printer

With a variety of ink types and colors available, the VIAjet L-Series is a clean, fast, and cost-effective technology for marking and coding variable data in both primary and secondary packaging. Leveraging the same cartridge technology found in desktop printers, the L-Series provides high native print resolution (600 x 600 dots per inch) at speeds up to 1,200 feet per minute (366 meters per minute)—nearly twice as fast as competitive TIJ systems. Printheads are available in 0.5-, 1- or 2- inch (12.7-, 25.4-, or 50.8-millimeter) print heights.

VIAjet T-Series High-Resolution Piezo Inkjet Printer

The VIAjet T-Series provides a cost-effective alternative to adhesive labels and pre-printed corrugated cartons used in secondary packaging. T-Series printheads create high-resolution barcodes and images as tall as 4 inches (25.4 millimeters). Grouping multiple print heads together enables the marking of larger images, logos and multiple lines of text. Ideal for the fast-moving consumer goods industry, the T-Series comes in two printhead models: The T100 for side/vertical printing and the T100S for down/right-angle printing.

MPERIA Universal Automation Controller

The universal marking and coding automation platform MPERIA manages and controls multiple technologies from a single interface. The software allows message management and creation for multiple printers across one or several production lines. Remote control functionality alleviates operator error and efficiently coordinates multiple printers simultaneously.
