Primera Technology launches LX4000 color label printer

Primera Technology has launched LX4000, a color label printer featuring the same print engine as the highly popular LX910 model but with the addition of large, individual ink tanks and a reusable thermal inkjet print head.

The printer offers a quality of 1,200 DPI resolution and a maximum print resolution of 1,200 DPI x 4,800 DPI. It can print labels up to 8in (203mm) wide x 24in (609mm) long at speeds of up to 4.5in (114mm) per second.

Each CMY tank holds 60ml of ink, and the pre-primed, reusable print heads contain another 42ml, totaling 222ml of ink right out of the box.

The Big Ink system on LX4000 uses dye and pigment inks optimized for brightness, durability and optical density. Its process black ink offers deep, rich tones that provide contrast and sharpness.

Compared to carbon black inks used in other color label printers, process black delivers several key advantages, including better water and chemical resistance, greater compatibility with a wider variety of specialty label media, and enhanced resistance to smearing.

LX4000 also features Primera’s innovative ClearView ink tank system, allowing users to monitor ink levels effortlessly without needing to open the printer’s cover.

Primera’s top-of-the-line color label printer, the LX4000, is ideal for users needing to print up to 7,500 labels daily. Other users with less volume will find the low operating costs advantageous.

LX4000 is compatible with Windows 10/11+ and the latest macOS operating systems. Data interfaces include Ethernet and USB 2.0 wired ports. Wireless connectivity is also available for Windows users with a low-cost Ethernet to wireless adapter.

‘With LX4000, we are excited to introduce such a highly capable desktop color label printer,’ said Mark D. Strobel, Primera’s sales and marketing vice president. ‘For companies needing higher volumes of labels with the very best print quality and a very low cost per label, the LX4000 is an outstanding choice.’

The LX4000 is available now in North America (United States, Canada and Mexico) and Latin America. It will begin shipping in Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and the rest of the world in November 2024.
