Original Press Release:
Matthews Introduces New High-End IP 7000 System For Porous Material, Marking & Coding Applications
Pittsburgh, PA, August 6, 2006 - Matthews Marking Products announces a new ink-jet system for high-resolution printing directly on porous materials, such as paper and cardboard: the IP 7000. This product will be demonstrated for the first time at PMMI's Pack Expo show in Chicago (Matthews booth # S-2174, October 29 -November 2.)
High-resolution IP 7000 eliminates need for labels
Matthews new high-end non-contact printer, the IP 7000, can print up to 32 lines of text (7 dots/line), logos, scannable bar codes and other symbols at 200 dpi horizontal/187 dpi vertical, operating at line speeds up to 1.4m (4.6 ft)/sec. Using piezo-electric element technology, the new printer is rugged enough to operate in challenging industrial environments. The printheads carry a 3 year warranty.
Designed to print on all types of porous packaging material, as well as on fabric, wood, pulp, concrete and other building products, the IP 7000 has a minimum print height of 2 mm and maximum print height of 100 mm ( 3.94" in.) per printhead - one of the highest in the industry.
Thanks to a re-circulating auto prime (RAP(TM)) feature, the IP 7000 consumes 35% less ink than competing printers. This also eliminates the need for messy daily maintenance and use of solvents
With the IP 7000's Ethernet capability, networking is as simple as installing a typical, office printer. Users can upload changes via laptop by connecting directly to the printer controller, on the line; or transmit messages from their office pc through a LAN. The software also determines how many times a particular message can be printed with one 500 cc ink bottle - giving the user the ability to modify the print message to achieve a higher print quantity or ink savings.
