DTM Print, an international OEM and solution provider for specialty printing systems, has launched a new DTM CLP2200e color label printer. The DTM CLP2200e has been developed to provide high flexibility, easy system integration and reliable performance for professional color label production.
A major highlight of this new printer is its broad ink compatibility. The DTM CLP2200e supports dye ink, pigment ink or mixed ink configurations, for example dye-based color inks in combination with pigment black. This enables users to choose between vivid color output or enhanced durability depending on the label application.
In addition, it features four separate ink cartridges for cyan, magenta, yellow and black combined with a user-replaceable print-head, a concept already used in the LX2000e color label printer. This configuration allows users to adapt ink usage and maintenance to their specific production requirements while keeping operating costs under control.
Designed with industrial use in mind, the DTM CLP2200e comes in a compact metal case that can be integrated into production lines or space-critical environments. Connectivity options include USB 2.0, Ethernet and a 24 V PLC interface, allowing integration into automated systems.
For reliable media handling and simplified maintenance, the printer offers a flat label feed path as well as modular access points for cleaning and service. An external label supply feed for larger roll outer diameters increases the productivity. Operation and status monitoring are managed via the DTM CLP2200e Toolbox software and an integrated display on the printer.
“We’re glad that true black is back at DTM Print,” said Lea König, product manager of DTM Print. “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.”
To meet the typical applications including product labels for beverages, specialty and gourmet foods, gardening, cosmetics, chemical, GHS or supplement labels, DTM Print has developed several media modes, compatible with all different surfaces of the Genuine DTM Label Stock. DTM CLP2200e is also ideal for private labeling, test marketing, pre-press proofing and retail labeling, the company stated.
Printer drivers are included for Windows along with BarTender UltraLite DTM Edition and NiceLabel Free DTM Edition Software to create label designs, add bar-codes, QR codes and serialization. Most other popular graphic design programs for Windows can be used to design and print labels.
