Meteor is used in printers producing narrow labels. Full-colour or monochrome systems can be supported. The key advantages of using Meteor include:
- High memory capacity to store many label backgrounds.
- High data rate to send variable data to be superimposed at any X,Y coordinate on each label
- Easily expandable to 6, 12, 18, 24, 48 or more printheads
- Meteor never limits the performance (e.g. speed) of the printheads
- Meteor can measure head temperature, switch UV lamps on/off and provide many other control functions direct to/from a PC
- Meteor user-configurable I/O can be used to select which pre-stored image is to be printed
- Print is triggered by a label detect signal and controlled by a user-scalable encoder signal
- Up to 64 different labels can be under the printhead array simultaneously as Meteor stores each label detect position using it to synchronize the image on each label
- Meteor interfaces seamlessly with IxPressia label printer management software
- Meteor components for most head types are available ex-stock and the software API is easy to connect to, helping you get to market much faster!
