Morpho Color
High Performance Inkjet Printing Engine for VDP

The Morpho Color series is available in 3 models - C108, C216, C108P - for full-color variable data printing (VDP) applications.

Featuring Kyocera KJ4 printhead, high-speed and high-resolution piezoelectric inkjet printhead technology, the Morpho Color series meets the growing and demanding needs for printing barcodes, serial numbers, dates, logos, images, times, and text on coated or uncoated substrates.

The Morpho Color series is suitable for web printing, sheet-fed printing, and both in-line and off-line targeted marking printing. The modular design offers greater flexibility to combine the Morpho Color with different technologies, such as feeding, UV curing, camera inspection or host PC. In addition, the different head modules of the Morpho Color series and the Morpho series can be combined to make a more complex printing system for different print widths and print positions.

Morpho Color series prints clear and sharp edges at high resolution of 600 × 600 DPI. Text as small as 4pt is perfectly legible.

Morpho Color Inkjet Printing Engine

Printing Control Cabinet

  • Automatic ink supply system with a large 3 liters ink reservoir
  • Ink Meniscus Pressure Control System with the digital display

Data Imaging Board

  • Installed on PC and connects to the PC motherboard via PCIe interface.
  • Supports sustained 240 MB/sec from 1 to 8 Kyocera KJ4 heads in grayscale mode.

Printhead Module

  • Head power management and head temperature controller
  • Intermediate ink tanks with ink level sensors
  • Sub-tank with anti-overflow function
As a digital add-on module, the Morpho Color series can be easily integrated into any existing press, turning it into a cost-effective color digital press.

Advanced Variable Droplet Size Control Technology

Enables 1 to 3 levels of grayscale ink drop size control to improve the print quality of gradations and color.

Integrated Control for UV Ink Pinning & Curing

Provides sharper, more vivid image print quality by "pinning" ink droplets to control dot gain.

FLEXIBLE MODULE COMBINATION

Based on modular design, this system flexibly combines multiple printhead modules (different models available) to create tailored printing solutions for varied needs. It supports customizable settings for print width, position, and color mode (monochrome/color). (See the example above.)

  • The patented, multi-angle printhead module adjustment mounting bracket enables the operator to adjust the angle of the X, Y, and Z-axis directions for each printhead module
  • Field upgradable firmware and system software
  • Automatic alarm signaling ink shortage
  • Online inspection and automatic rectification system ensures accurate printing position by monitoring and analyzing pre-printed marker in real time
  • Precise Active Meniscus Pressure Control
  • Proven ink system
