The IP 9000 controller can be paired with four different printheads for increasingly higher resolution and different types of printing: the LC2, 96/32, 192/32, or 352/32. All of these combinations print up to 4 lines of text in an area up to 1.9 inches high. The new system uses Trident's repairable print engine and Matthews' rugged, low maintenance printheads, able to function reliably in industrial environments. These printheads do not require changing filters, recalibration or flushing when the system is shut down.
The most economical member of the high resolution family uses the LC2 printhead, which has 224 ink nozzles in a daisy pattern to achieve high definition printing of alphanumeric characters and graphics. The LC2 can print characters and graphics at speeds up to 1,000 ft/min. For applications requiring scannable bar codes, the IP 9000 controller must be matched with any of the three other printheads.
"We think the low cost LC2 will appeal to the widest range of customers," explains product manager Antonio Cortes del Valle. "This system competes with continuous ink-jet and DOD printers at a price that is 20% under most DOD printers."
