Primera Announces LX4000 Color Label Printer. “Big Ink™ ”System Delivers Low Costs Per Label With Outstanding Speed & Print Quality – CoffeeTalk
Primera Technology, Inc. (“Primera”), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of specialized digital printing equipment, today announced its new LX4000 Color Label Printer.
LX4000 uses the same proven and reliable print engine as Primera’s highly popular LX910 Color Label Printer, but with the addition of large, individual ink tanks and a reusable thermal inkjet print head. Print quality is exceptional with native 1200 dpi resolution and a maximum print resolution of 1200 dpi x 4800 dpi. Labels up to 8” (203mm) wide x 24” (609mm) long can be printed. Print speed is up to 4.5” (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. Both dye and pigment models are available as separate SKUs. Replacement ink tanks are easy to install and self-priming.
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 superior contrast and sharpness, setting a new standard for Primera’s color label printers. Compared to carbon black inks used in other color label printers, process black delivers several key advantages: better water and chemicals resistance, greater compatibility with a wider variety of specialty label media, and enhanced resistance to smearing, ensuring labels remain crisp and legible under various environmental conditions.
New ClearView™ Ink Tanks
LX4000 also features Primera’s innovative ClearView™ ink tank system, which allows users to monitor ink levels effortlessly without ever needing to open the printer’s cover. With ClearView, you can easily gauge when ink replenishment is required just by glancing at the external, clear ink tanks, providing a faster and more convenient way to ensure that your printing process runs smoothly. This convenient new feature reduces downtime, ensures maximum productivity, and gives users more control over their printing operations. ClearView ink tanks are an ideal solution for businesses focused on efficiency and convenience.
As Primera’s top-of-the-line color label printer, LX4000 is ideal for users that need to print up to 7,500 labels per day. Other users with less volume will find the very low operating costs to be just as advantageous. The rugged, powder-coated steel cover and all-steel frame help protect the printer in most office, warehouse, and factory environments.
LX4000 is compatible with Windows® 10/11+, and the latest macOS® operating systems. Data interfaces include Ethernet & USB 2.0 wired ports. Wireless connectivity is also available for Windows users with a low-cost Ethernet to Wireless adapter. Primera maintains a list of tested and recommended third-party wireless adapters for use in various countries and regions.
“With LX4000, we are excited to introduce such a highly capable desktop color label printer,” said Mark D. Strobel, Primera’s vice president of sales and marketing. “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.”
Printer drivers and manuals are available online, along with free, easy-to-use label design and printing software from Seagull Scientific® called BarTender® UltraLite, Primera Edition, which is compatible with Windows PCs. Other brands of Windows label printing software can also be used. Mac users can use virtually any software that includes a printing function.
