Brady launches BradyPrinter i7500 with LabelSense

Identification specialist Brady Corporation has launched a new BradyPrinter i7500 for 76mm core label rolls, which automatically adjusts all of its settings when new consumables are loaded.

According to the company, the approach in most industries to high-volume, high-precision thermal heat transfer 76mm core (3in core) label printing to date has been ‘set it up and don’t touch’. Crucial for traceability and compliance yet difficult to set up and calibrate, the 76mm core label printing experience has been a pain point for many manufacturing, electronics, electrical and laboratory industries.

Brady addressed those problems with a new proprietary printer model developed to redefine the 76mm core label experience.

 ‘The new BradyPrinter i7500 does not require users to adjust sensors, heat settings, define label dimensions or waste labels in calibration,’ said Ömer Adisen, product manager for benchtop printers and software at Brady Corporation. ‘We call it LabelSense. The technology reduces the frustrating trial and error of manual printer calibration to print readiness in just 40 seconds. That includes loading Brady consumables, designed so they can only be loaded the right way.’

The new BradyPrinter i7500 with LabelSense technology makes high-precision 76mm core label printing more intuitive, and efficient without the need to maintain multiple printers just to avoid the classic consumable and calibration hassle.

‘All optimal settings are already preloaded, and the printer automatically recognizes every Brady consumable. The i7500 offers considerable print flexibility by enabling users to switch from printed circuit board labels to rating plates, raised profile labels and cable sleeves or between relevant specialized laboratory labels in just 40 seconds. Even when loading the tiniest 3.18mm QR-coded labels, the i7500 prints the first label right, reducing waste and supporting sustainable label printing practices,’ added Adisen.

In addition to auto-calibration, the new device can print 76mm core labels from any manufacturer in manual mode.

When combined with Brady Workstation label design, the software instantly recognizes the dimensions of loaded Brady consumables for fast and intuitive label creation. In addition to label design protection, Brady Workstation also includes an easy scan-to-print app and a data automation app to print labels at the right time with the right ERP-system data. The BradyPrinter i7500 supports print languages like ZPL and can print labels via other label design software.

‘The new BradyPrinter i7500 defines a new premium high precision printing experience for 76mm core labels. Fully automated calibration enables printing on different consumables within 40 seconds. Supported by a clear user interface on a large on-board screen, the i7500 prints a wide range of labels without any hassle. We can provide a hands-on demo at your premises to show your teams just how intuitive label printing can be,’ concluded Adisen.
