Primera Introduces LX2000 Color Label Printer
Primera Technology has rolled out the LX2000, its fastest ever color label printer.
Able to produce labels at speeds of up to 6”/ second – about 25 percent faster than Primera’s best-selling LX900 Color Label Printer, it uses large, separate ink cartridges for cyan, magenta, yellow and black to control cost per label. Other features include pigment-based ink for stronger resistance to UV light, chemicals and water, built in “pizza-wheel” cutter, viewing window to see label stock levels and wired Ethernet or USB 2.0 and wireless connection options.
According to Primera, large ink tanks offer an extremely competitive cost per label, and pigment ink has greater resistance to water, chemicals and UV light. Print quality is superb. Intended for private labeling, test marketing, pre-press proofing and retail labeling, applications include product labels for coffee, wine, water, bakery, confectionary, meat, cheese and hundreds of other specialty and gourmet foods.
Primera also says the LX2000 is a good choice for companies needing a GHS compliant label solution. Its pigment ink and Primera’s Tuffcoat Extreme PolyJet material have already passed GHS Section 3, BS5609 testing. The testing included removal of print by adhesive tape, abrasion resistance and permanence of print evaluations under extreme conditions, including exposure to UV light and repeated salt spray and immersion. The material and printed images from LX2000 passed in all three categories.
Qualified substrates include many different inkjet label materials, including Primera’s exclusive Tuffcoat Extreme white and clear polyester and white BOPP, as well as the new Tuffcoat Extreme PolyJet. Paper labels are also available in high-gloss, semi-gloss and matte finishes.
LX2000 is available now from Primera’s resellers and distributors worldwide.
