DTM Print introduces new optional ink cartridge

CMY+ Ultra Black is a single tri-colour ink cartridge. The LX-Series printers use cyan, magenta and yellow inks to produce process black, which has many advantages over the carbon black inks used by other colour label printers. These include better water resistance, compatibility with a broader range of specialty label media and more resistance to smearing.

As an optional upgrade to the standard CMY ink cartridges, CMY+ Ultra Black has several unique features that make it an excellent choice for certain users:

• Blacker Blacks. Some customers need a “true” black due to the design of their labels. CMY+ Ultra Black delivers just that: One of the darkest, most consistent blacks you’ll find on desktop inkjet colour label printers in this class.
• Sharper Black Text. Because CMY+ Ultra Black uses dye-based cyan, magenta and yellow that prints at 1200 dpi, the printer’s black text also prints at 1200 dpi. Most comparable colour label printers print black text at 600 dpi due to their black inks’ carbon black or pigment components. Especially on small text, the superior print resolution with CMY+ Ultra Black is very noticeable.
• Superior Water Resistance. CMY+ Ultra Black, when used with tested and approved substrates, is the most water-resistant ink ever offered by Primera. DTM Print offers a large variety of label substrates under the brand “Genuine DTM Label Stock” and will help users to find the best material for their application.

"CMY+ Ultra Black delivers the darkest, most consistent blacks ever, which is perfect for label designs that uses a lot of black," said Andreas Hoffmann, managing director of DTM Print. "An added plus is the higher water resistance compared to other standard dye ink formulas."

DTM Print offers a range of different colour label printers, including all models of the mentioned LX-Series. The LX610e Pro Color Label Printer is an entry-level desktop printer with the unique feature to print and cut any label shape with just one device in seconds. It combines colour inkjet label printing with a built-in digital die-cutting mechanism. The LX610e Pro comes with the easy-to-use Windows and Mac compatible software PTCreate Pro. The auto-trace cut function in PTCreate Pro will automatically find the edges of the artwork and is especially useful for printing and cutting label outlines and designs regardless of the complexity, shape or size.

Besides an intuitive software LX610e Pro features colour inkjet printing at up to 4800 dpi without horizontal banding, interchangeable dye or pigment inks and low maintenance by utilising an ultra-high capacity single CMY ink cartridge. In addition, LX610e Pro is eco-friendly and sustainable with very low energy consumption, low weight by using less material, non-toxic ink supplies as well as 100% recyclable components. 

All DTM Print units within the EU (including the UK and EFTA countries) get up to three years warranty: 12 months provided with the purchase and the option of extra 24 months for free after registering the product on the company website (register.dtm-print.eu) within the first six months of purchase.
