Canon introduces LX-P5510 label printer

Canon has introduced the LX-P5510 label printer, a pigment-based machine capable of printing 4-inch wide labels at high speed.

The printer employs pigment-based inks to ensure excellent durability and long-lasting results. Pigment inks are resistant to running, smudging or fading when used with inkjet-compatible media. This color label printer can boost productivity and help businesses reduce costs, as on-demand printing eliminates the need for preprinted labels and outsourcing production.

With the launch of the LX-P5510, Canon now provides both pigment and dye versions of 4-inch and 2-inch label printing products, supporting various applications best suited for one technology over the other.

Industries that can benefit from the LX-P5510 include:

Chemical manufacturing

Companies requiring warning labels on hazardous chemical containers to comply with standards like the globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals (GHS) can utilize the LX-P5510 label printer.

Printing these labels with a traditional monochrome printer can be challenging, as government-mandated pictograms need red color and can vary by product and destination. However, using the LX-P5510 to print these labels on-demand and in color helps address changing requirements efficiently and effortlessly.

Food and beverage manufacturing

Bakeries, breweries, wineries and other food and beverage manufacturers can greatly benefit from the LX-P5510 label printer. Businesses can eliminate preprinted labels for their packaging and easily make design changes in-house on short notice. The color labels printed on the LX-P5510 can visually attract in-aisle shoppers and convey branding, nutritional information, size, flavor type, potential allergies and warnings.

Healthcare

Healthcare companies, including medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical producers and pharmacies, can take advantage of the LX-P5510 label printer's strengths. The printer's versatility is particularly suited for labels requiring accurate and vibrant production of unique data components, such as pictures, small but readable text and color-coded shades.

Retail/wholesale trade

For businesses aiming to increase in-store shelf appeal or consolidate large quantities of products, the LX-P5510 label printer can be a valuable asset. The printer helps meet the need for sharp, full-color images on shelf tags, signs and secondary packaging labels in damp or refrigerated environments.

Transportation and warehousing

Companies in transportation and warehousing can enhance operational efficiencies, better manage inventory and improve shipping activities by utilizing the LX-P5510.

'Canon is proud to offer this new solution for businesses wanting to print their own durable, eye-catching labels on-site for increased agility and a lower total cost of ownership,' states Shuji 'Steve' Suda, vice president and general manager of Canon. 'We are confident this color label printer will improve companies' efficiency and productivity, allowing for printing anytime and almost anywhere.'

Key features of the LX-P5510 include:

Efficient and flexible

This compact label printer from Canon fits on a desk or table, promoting a more productive work environment. The printer supports both matte and gloss media, eliminating the need to switch printers and making it an excellent choice for labeling various products. Users can add a detachable roll holder for faster label changes, an optional rewinder for rewinding printed label output, and a non-stop printing auto cutter. These options make the LX-P5510 ideal for high-volume label printing environments.

Users can choose from nine speed options and customize the number of labels printed. The printer can even print very small labels, down to 0.2-1 inch at high quality.

Connectivity and compatibility

The LX-P5510 is compatible with various third-party label printing software products, such as Seagull Scientific BarTender barcode labeling software. The printer is also compatible with Microsoft Windows 11 (64 bit) and Windows 10 (64/32 bit), and easily connects with a USB or ethernet cable.
