New label printer with 'Big Ink'

LX3000e is the latest addition to the LX-Series of desktop full-colour label printers and uses the same platform as the LX910e Color Label Printer, but with the addition of large, individual ink tanks and a reusable thermal inkjet printhead. Print quality is said to be exceptional with native 1200 dpi resolution with a maximum print resolution of 1200 dpi x 4800 dpi. Labels to 210mm (8.25in) wide and 610mm (24in) long can be printed. Print speed is to 114mm (4.5in) per second.

Each separate CMY tank holds 60ml of ink. Pre-primed, user-replaceable printheads have another 42ml of ink, for a total of 222ml ‘out of the box’ ink. Both dye and pigment models are available. Replacement ink tanks are easy to install without further priming for uninterrupted printing. 

The Big Ink system on LX3000e uses latest technology dye and pigment inks optimised for brightness, durability, and optical density. The latter is particularly high for LX3000e’s process black resulting, says DTM Print, in the blackest black ever released in a CMY printer. The company says process black has advantages for labels, including better water resistance, compatibility with a broader range of speciality label media, and more resistance to smearing on high gloss media. 

The LX3000e is suitable for users who need to print up to 10,000 labels per day. The rugged, powder-coated steel cover and all-steel frame helps to protect the printer in most office, warehouse, and factory environments.

LX3000e is compatible with Windows 7, 8x, and 10. A macOS printer driver will be available for download in the third quarter of 2021. Interfaces include Ethernet and USB 2.0 wired ports. 

Andreas Hoffmann, managing director of DTM Print, comments: “The LX3000e is a desktop label printer that expands perfectly our portfolio of printing solutions. It combines the latest in ink technology, excellent print quality and exceptional low cost per label.”

DTM Print offers additional benefits with all its products such as free label design software (BarTender 2021 UltraLite and NiceLabel Free 2019 DTM Version), three years warranty, support and service through local partners, and a large variety of approved label substrates under the brand ‘Genuine DTM Label Stock’. 

“Besides label printers for different production volumes our product range includes label finishing solutions, applicators and metallic foil imprinters, providing installations ‘tailored’ to the end-user’s needs,” adds Hoffmann.

LX3000e is available directly from DTM Print or through authorised DTM Print partners in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Shipping is set to start in late summer 2021.
