Dimatix Print Systems
Dimatix Print Systems (www.dimatix.com) describes its Merlin D2 as a general- purpose, console-style, industrial inkjet print controller that supports a wide variety of configured printhead clusters. The controller is capable of driving a total of 48 Spectra 256-jet printheads configured in one- to four-printhead clusters. Each head cluster can be one to four colors. Merlin D2 also can be configured to support various jetting fluids, including those formulated for food applications. Fluid and electrical umbilicals up to 35 ft (10.7 m) connect the controller to the printhead clusters. The controller may be operated in a standalone, distributed-networked mode or via standard industrial-line-control interfaces. An optional user-interface monitor and keyboard allows for the local access and control of functional parameters through a graphical user interface based on the Windows XP operating system.
