DTM Print has released the DTM CX86e Colour Tag Printer, which the German company has described as the smallest dry toner colour label printer in the world.
The printer, which uses digital LED technology, has been designed to help companies produce versatile and professional colour labels and tags. This includes vouchers, coupons, value-added receipts, photo ID tags, visitor badges, price and promotion stickers, pasted labels, sleeves, loop ribbons or labels for cardboards and boxes.
During the LED printing process the image is developed on a light sensitive drum, it is then transferred by electrostatic charge via an image transfer belt and fused by heat to the media. The labels produced that way are waterproof and UV-resistant.
‘As LED print heads have no moving parts significantly less raw materials are consumed in the manufacturing process,’ explained managing director Andreas Hoffmann. ‘This means a space-saving design and a significantly longer service life are achieved.
‘With a size of 198 x 195 x 380mm and a weight of 9.5kg, the CX86e is more compact, robust and reliable than other printers in its class. This means it can be used almost anywhere and is easy to transport.’
The external material feed of dry toner approved labels and tags is possible via roll, continuous feed paper in zigzag folding or single sheet. Single sheets must have a size of 25 – 86mm in width and 53 – 551mm in length.
