Versatile new Desktop Printers

To enable businesses to future-proof their increasingly diverse labelling needs, TSC Printronix Auto ID has just launched its new generation of desktop printers; the TH DH Series. Effortless to integrate and use, and with enhanced security, these devices will produce high-quality labels on a wide variety of media.

Suitable for applications in retail, food and drink, clothing, healthcare and logistics, the TH DH Series will precision print anything from card swing tags and fabric care labels to specimen labels and shrink tubes. “This new range easily conquers most label printing challenges, be they thick, tiny, long or application-specific like vehicle registration plates,” says Bob Vines, UK, Ireland & Nordics country manager for TSC Printronix Auto ID. “It can do this with minimal intervention by IT managers, just simple adjustments to the DPI algorithm, heater line and TPH pressure.“

Optional extras like wireless connectivity, cutter and peeler modules enable companies to scale up applications without having to replace the whole printer, thereby prolonging product life-cycles. The TH DH Series is available in 2-inch and 4-inch models, with 203 dpi or 300 dpi print options in each. They can print up to 7,000† labels a day. A healthcare version is also available, featuring an antibacterial exterior to perform in medical environments.

Integration and deployment of the TH DH Series is seamless, label templates stay the same even when switching from other printer brands. Remote real-time monitoring and management, and self-diagnostic TPH Care means fast trouble- shooting and maximum uptime. Enhanced security helps protect networks from cyber attacks and any subsequent downtime.

In line with TSC’s commitment to sustainability, the TH DH Series is its first range to incorporate practices that reduce environmental impact. Both the packaging and printer’s plastic casing are 100% recyclable, and over 90% of the devices‘ components are recyclable too. The printers‘ casing is made from 30% recycled plastic. The TH DH Series supports linerless media, which, apart from benefits like printing labels of any length, helps reduce waste, and reinforces the devices‘ sustainability credentials.

Smaller, Faster, Greener Automatic Labelling

To meet the growing demand for accurate, high-speed and easy to use industrial automatic labelling systems, TSC Printronix Auto ID has just launched a popular-sized 4-inch version of its PEX-2000 Series print engine. This powerful device promises to save time, money and resources in logistics operations, the pharmaceutical industry and manufacturing, especially food and drink.

Print engines perform an essential role in print and apply operations and design of the new 4-inch PEX-2000 has been carefully considered for both system integrators and users. Its compact full-metal chassis is 14% smaller at the rear than its mainstream peers and the device can easily be integrated into just about any automatic labelling system supporting DB15 and DB 25 connectors. Its adjustable peel-off module gives systems integrators greater design flexibility by setting label feed-out to their preferred angle (-3º to -18º).

“Furthermore, the PEX-2000 offers 55mm wide media handling space for simpler installation or parts changes, and a quick release mechanism for printhead and roller change. Any repairs or maintenance are significantly expedited by the rear chassis simply being lifted and pulled out,” says Bob Vines, UK, Ireland & Nordics country manager for TSC Printronix Auto ID. One of the most interesting developments of the new 4-inch PEX-2000 is the option for enterprises to reduce their environmental impact and costs by saving ribbon waste by 30% to 80%, especially special colour ribbons like gold or silver. The patented ribbon-saving function minimises large, wasteful non-printed areas, displaying percentages saved on the LCD monitor.

“The 4-inch PEX-2000 Series has been designed to meet diverse applications, including RFID encoding capability,“ suggests Bob. “Its high label registration supports label printing as small as 5mm high, with print deviation of ±0.4mm. Its super-fast print speed of up to 18 inches per second (ips) will scale up any print and apply label application and enable enterprises to meet one cycle time with high stability.”

TSC Printronix Auto ID offers value-added software tools like SOTI Connect and TSC Console to enable system integrators and/or end customers to manage and monitor their print engines through the internet or intranet, depending on users‘ needs. Both tools enable quick deployment, configuration, and updates from any location.

Linerless Industrial Printer Improves Productivity

In response to the growing demand for linerless labelling, TSC Printronix Auto ID has just launched its first linerless industrial printer to add to its range of mobile and desktop linerless printers. The MB240 can print up to 10,000 labels a day with a tear-off kit or robust cutter. It is ideally suited to fast-paced sectors such as e-commerce, logistics, and food and drink.

The MB240 is compact and its all-metal construction will deliver trouble-free printing in the toughest and most demanding of environments. It can print up to 12 ips, has a heavy-duty cycle, and can handle 8-inch outer diameter (OD) label rolls. It has been tested for compatibility with the majority of linerless labels with permanent, removable or freezer-grade adhesives. Its special anti-adhesive linerless kit reduces residue from label adhesive and prevents paper jams. Worker safety has also been considered in its design with a cutter lock sensor and upper blade protector.

The global linerless label market is developing fast and is expected to reach USD 3.09 million* by 2032. The growth is driven, in part, by the need for more sustainable packaging as well as a requirement for more information to be included on labels.

“The MB240 linerless delivers on all fronts,” says Bob Vines, UK, Ireland & Nordics country manager for TSC Printronix Auto ID. “Linerless labeling can reduce raw material consumption by 15%, can add 40% more paper length per roll, and halve operational costs in transport, warehousing and material handling. It can also lower carbon emissions and reduce waste by 50%.“

Offers versatility to print up to 10,000 different length labels per day

Being able to print labels of any length from just one roll means that not only can comprehensive information be included but productivity can also be increased as operators don’t have to keep switching between rolls of different sized self-adhesive labels. Another much heralded advantage of linerless labelling is employee safety as the slip hazards of conventional liner backings are eliminated.

“The MB240 linerless Series simultaneously improves both your productivity and sustainability so, if you’re new to linerless labelling, or need to replace a device, it could be just the asset you’re looking for,“ suggests Bob.
