Matthews Marking Systems, a leading manufacturer of marking and coding products, announces the VIAjet™ L1, one of the fastest thermal ink jet printers in the industry, and its most compact printhead in the VIAjet™ L-Series product line.

Designed for applications where space is restricted or high speeds are required, the L1 is ideal for primary coding, web applications, and OEM machinery integration. A single VIAjet™ L1 prints a high-resolution, 0.5” mark, and multiple L1’s can be stitched together for larger messages. Combine the L1 with Matthews’ upcoming Commercial Printing License (due to be released by the end of 2016), and produce marks up to four times as fast as competitors. This level of speed meets applications such as serialization, lottery and promotional coding, and mailings.
