Matthews Marking Valve Jet Printing
Matthews’ DOD printers are suitable for many different large character applications, including packaging and industrial, as well as the harshest environments. Our DOD systems feature the longest life and most reliable print head in the industry. The exclusive micro-valve technology dramatically lowers ink consumption while maintaining impressive quality and speed. Our robust 8000+ series print heads produce a high resolution mark by overlapping a series of smaller dots, allowing for a range in character height of 3/32” to 5”. Simple to operate and with minimal maintenance, our DOD ink jet systems typically have lower capital and operational costs than other inkjet technologies.

Matthews offers many options when it comes to ink and ink delivery systems for large character drop on demand systems. For low-volume users, there is a compact, 1-liter ink supply unit. For larger-volume users we offer 4-liter, 5-gallon, and 55-gallon large capacity ink supply systems. For pigmented applications a recirculating ink supply keeps ink pigments from settling.
MPERIA™ , Matthews’ universal print platform operates the VIAjet™ V-Series and allows customers to control multiple production lines, integrate order processing, populate production data from order processing files and interface with new or existing databases- all from a single controller. Matthews’ DOD print heads are the fastest in the industry, marking up to 244 meters/min (800 fpm) with the longest life – over 6 billion firings per head.
