In today’s fast-paced business environment, efficient labelling solutions are paramount, and DTM Print has once again raised the bar with the introduction of two innovative products: the LX4000e Color Label Printer and the PL400e Pouch Labeller. Both machines are designed to meet the diverse needs of businesses, whether they require high-quality labels for products or rapid labelling of pouches and bags.
The LX4000e Color Label Printer represents the next generation of desktop label printers, offering exceptional print quality, unmatched efficiency, and low costs per label. Manufactured by Primera Technology, Inc., this printer is the latest addition to the acclaimed LX-Series, known for its reliable inkjet colour label printing. Built upon the established print engine used in previous LX-Series models like the LX910e and LX3000e, the LX4000e promises to deliver impressive performance.
One of the standout features of the LX4000e is its large, individual ink tanks combined with a reusable thermal inkjet printhead. This design not only contributes to its exceptional print quality but also ensures that users can produce vibrant labels at a native resolution of 1200 dpi and a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi x 4800 dpi. The printer’s capability to handle labels up to 210 mm (8.25”) wide and 610 mm (24”) long, with a print speed of up to 114 mm (4.5”) per second, makes it a versatile option for various labelling needs.
The LX4000e employs the robust Big Ink system, utilising both dye and pigment inks that are optimised for brightness, durability and optical density. Its process black ink offers deep, rich tones that enhance contrast and sharpness, surpassing traditional carbon black inks. This innovative ink formulation provides several advantages, including better water and chemical resistance, compatibility with a wider variety of speciality label media and enhanced resistance to smearing. This ensures that labels remain crisp and legible, even under various environmental conditions.
Another key feature of the LX4000e is the innovative ClearView Ink Tank system. This user-friendly design enables operators to effortlessly monitor ink levels without needing to open the printer’s cover. By merely glancing at the external, clear ink tanks, users can easily determine when ink replenishment is necessary, reducing downtime and maximising productivity. With the capacity to print up to 7,500 labels per day, the LX4000e is engineered for high-volume printing while still offering cost efficiencies for businesses with lower printing demands. The durable powder-coated steel cover and all-steel frame provide reliable protection across various settings, including offices, warehouses and factories.
In addition to its impressive features, the LX4000e is compatible with both Windows 10/11 and the latest macOS operating systems, equipped with data interfaces such as Ethernet and USB 2.0 wired ports. Furthermore, Windows users can access wireless connectivity through an affordable Ethernet to Wireless adapter, enhancing the printer’s versatility. DTM Print backs the LX4000e with significant customer benefits, including free label design software for Windows and Mac, support and service through local partners and a large variety of approved label substrates under the brand ‘Genuine DTM Label Stock’.
The second new product to the portfolio of DTM Print is the PL400e Pouch Labeller, an advanced semi-automatic labelling machine designed to cater to the needs of businesses that require quick and precise labelling solutions for unfilled pouches, envelopes and flat bags. With its user-friendly design, the PL400e streamlines the labelling process, allowing operators to set up and operate the machine quickly and easily. Capable of labelling up to 1,300 items per hour, it boosts productivity without compromising on accuracy.
The PL400e excels in precision labelling capability, ensuring a consistently professional finish for every product. It applies labels to both the front and back of pouches with customisable position, thus guaranteeing consistent and professional results. The LED display comes with a built-in counter and memory capability for up to nine label offsets that makes it easy to process recurring jobs.
The intuitive setup and operation allow for quick training and minimal downtime, providing a hassle-free labelling experience. The inclusion of a label liner rewinder optimises operations by keeping waste liner material off the floor and winding it into a roll for easy disposal, contributing to a cleaner workspace during high-usage periods.
The PL400e is engineered for flexibility, accepting pouches of various sizes and materials, including those with zippers, euro holes and degassing/aroma valves. Its ultra-reliable mechanical sensor allows for accurate labelling of even clear bags without any adjustments to the machine, making it an incredibly versatile addition to any production line.
In summary, both the LX4000e Color Label Printer and the PL400e Pouch Labeller exemplify DTM Print’s dedication to providing innovative, efficient and reliable labelling solutions. Whether businesses require high-quality colour labels or speedy pouch labelling, DTM Print has the technology to meet their needs while ensuring exceptional performance and ease of use.
