International OEM and provider of specialty printing solutions DTM Print has launched the DTM CLP2200e colour label printer. The company said the new model is designed for professional colour label production, with a focus on flexibility, system integration and reliable performance.

One of the key features of the CLP2200e, according to DTM, is its ink compatibility. The printer supports dye ink, pigment ink or mixed ink configurations, such as dye-based colour inks combined with pigment black. This allows users to select ink types based on application requirements, whether prioritising colour vibrancy or label durability.

The CLP2200e uses four separate ink cartridges for cyan, magenta, yellow and black, alongside a user-replaceable printhead. This design approach, previously used in the LX2000e colour label printer, enables users to manage ink consumption and maintenance according to their production needs, the company explained.

Built for industrial environments, the printer features a compact metal housing intended for integration into production lines or space-limited settings. Connectivity options include USB 2.0, Ethernet and a 24 V PLC interface, supporting integration into automated workflows.

Media handling is supported by a flat label feed path and modular access points for cleaning and servicing. An external label supply feed allows for larger roll diameters, supporting higher productivity. Printer operation and monitoring are managed through the CLP2200e Toolbox software and an integrated display.

According to Lea König, product manager at DTM Print, commented: ““With four large ink tanks we can offer a competitive cost per label while staying as flexible as possible with dye ink for superior quality prints and pigment ink for UV resistant labels. Add to that the multiple connection options, along with 210 mm (8.25”) print width and you’ve got everything most companies would ever need. With DTM CLP2200e, there are only benefits and no compromises.”

The CLP2200e is designed for a range of applications including product labels for beverages, food, gardening products, cosmetics, chemicals, GHS and supplements. DTM Print has developed multiple media modes compatible with its Genuine DTM Label Stock to support different label surfaces. The printer is also suited to private labelling, test marketing, pre-press proofing and retail labelling.

Printer drivers are provided for Windows, along with BarTender UltraLite DTM Edition and NiceLabel Free DTM Edition software. These tools support label design functions such as barcodes, QR codes and serialisation, and the printer is compatible with other common Windows-based graphic design applications.
