Morpho
Inkjet Printing Engine for VDP

The Morpho series is available in 6 models – 108/ 108D/ 216/ 216D/ 324/ 432 – providing print widths of 108 mm (4.25 in), 216 mm (8.5 in), 324 mm (12.75 in) or 432 mm (17 in) at standard or double speeds, respectively. All Morpho models are monochrome inkjet printing systems for variable data printing (VDP) applications.

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

The Morpho series is suitable for web, sheet-fed, and both in-line and off-line targeted marking printing. The modular design offers greater flexibility to combine the Morpho with different technologies, such as feeding, UV curing, camera inspection, or host PC.

Moreover, the different printhead modules of Morpho and Morpho Color can be combined to make a more complex printing system for different print widths and print positions.

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