The I-Mark EZ Touch V80 controller is the newest addition to the Matthews
I-Mark family of intelligent coding solutions. This system is comprised of a full color, easy-to-use touch screen interface and has the ability to independently control up to 8 printheads or 64 valves.

Built on the powerful Windows CE platform, programming messages into the V80 is extremely simple with WYSIWYG representation of the printed mark displayed on screen. Printer setup and message editing can be achieved in less than a minute, reducing operator
stress on the production line. Additionally,
the V80 will revolutionize ink-jet coding as it sets a new standard.

Instead of global settings that typical ink-jet coders offer today, the V80 provides individual control of the attributes of each connected print head. This powerful feature allows for independent setting adjustments of each head’s dot size, print width, print delays, height (tilt) and more. This type of control is new to the industry and presents an innovative realm of flexibility for ink-jet coding applications.

Remote PC connection to the V80 is very simple using the popular Microsoft® ActiveSync software. The V80 supports other communication protocols including Ethernet, RS232 and RS485.
