HR Series — High Resolution
This reliable, Videojet-engineered advancement offers up to 2”(50 mm) print height for high-resolution characters. The heart of the HR is the new Videojet-designed and manufactured piezo print engine that holds eight patents. 150 vertical DPI delivers fully-formed characters and improved legibility. This capability lets you print large, sharp text, serial numbers, logos, and barcodes. The HR Series’ compact size fits more production lines and allows for more applications. At 200 fpm (61 mpm), with a 1/4" (7 mm) throw, it’s fast, clear printing, and low-maintenance. Maintenance stays low, too, thanks to no moving parts and an orifice plate that resists scratches. And of course, it’s fully compatible with the standard PatrionPlus controller, data and power cables.

Valve Jet — Dot Matrix Flexibility
We can even “plus” your most basic printing needs with this truly reliable, large-character, dot matrix workhorse. Versatile, too, with two available types: 7-dot and 16-dot. Multiple fonts offer flexibility in your mark, with upper/lower case for better legibility. Easy to install and adjust with a simple tube-and-handle assembly. It even prints up to a full 200 fpm (61 mpm) for a fast, efficient line.
The Power of PatrionPlus
The PatrionPlus system builds on the innovation, reliability and flexibility of the original Patrion system. It’s strengths are clear: simplicity, versatility and durability.

The Most Flexible Controller Available
“Simple” is the keyword. A typewriter-style keyboard and pop-up menus make it easy to learn, easy to operate and easy to program. What’s more, this single controller operates both HR Series and Valve Jet printheads. The large, ergonomically-correct keyboard is simple to use and a large, easy-to-read LCD display reduces the chance of error.
Flexible? The PatrionPlus controller’s menu-driven programming comes standard in eight languages, with additional languages available. The PatrionPlus system drives up to sixteen printheads. Each printhead is capable of printing up to three lines of text. A NEMA 12/IP 51 cabinet is available to protect the controller and printhead power supplies.

Easy Installation
The PatrionPlus system features data and power daisy-chaining for a simpler installation. Both the printheads and controller go from the carton to the conveyor line in minutes. A simple bracket system can mount them in several locations on your line. Even the ink systems are a snap to install.

Excellent Value
In addition to offering more features than the competition, the Marsh PatrionPlus system is built tough to work long hours on the production line. With its superior design, the PatrionPlus model provides better print quality with fewer moving parts, and less downtime.


The Right Inks For The Right Job

Series 2000:
Ingenious, Foolproof


This new Videojet innovation is specifically formulated for smooth operation with our HR Series high-resolution printhead. Once again, the beauty is in the simplicity. A patented, color-keyed cap system reduces the chance of replacing the 17 oz. (500 ml) bottle with the wrong ink. Mistakes are eliminated and ink changeover is easier than ever.

The Versatile Marsh ADS System
This ink system is designed exclusively for our VJ printheads. At its heart are trouble-free inks for both porous and non-porous substrates, so you can print on both corrugated and plastic wrap. To deliver it, a flexible, 5-gallon, air-driven system, using plant-supplied air, offers the reliability and simplicity that the PatrionPlus system is known for.
