MPERIA L-Series TIJ Printers

Our thermal inkjet printers give you the flexible options you require while producing precise marks at extraordinary speeds; keeping your products in compliance while ensuring your brand puts its best foot forward.

Print variable data, QR and 2D codes, graphics, or simple text at unprecedented speeds on a variety of substrates with the L-Series thermal inkjet  printers. Excellent applications include case coding on corrugate boxes, barcodes on coated/uncoated wood, lot codes on pre-printed chipboard, and expiry dates on glossy labels.

Overcoming Challenges of Legacy Printers

As technology continues to advance, printing or marking your products and packages can pose challenges and limitations for both legacy and even new systems.  Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and thermal transfer printing (TTO), in particular, have inherent limitations due to age, brand, ink, and configuration. CIJ printers may experience problems with ink smudging, substrate compatibility, frequent maintenance and printhead cleaning, and inconsistent print quality. Meanwhile, thermal transfer systems may struggle with ribbon cost, limited print durability, slow printing speeds, and frequent maintenance.

Industrial TIJ Systems You Can Count On

Fortunately, the L-Series overcomes these challenges. With our industrial printers, you can achieve consistent, high-quality prints without the headaches associated with other printing technologies. TIJ printing offers faster ink changeovers, a much lower maintenance burden, faster installation, easier operation, greater system flexibility, and extremely reliable marking and coding in contrast with CIJ and thermal transfer printing systems.
