VIPColor Technologies launches inkjet label printer

Newark, USA-based VIPColor Technologies, a division of Venture Corporation, will introduce its VP485 inkjet label printer to the German packaging market at Verpackung Nord, Hamburg. The VP485 is the latest in the company’s range of digital solutions for label production and enables fast desktop printing in widths from 51mm (2”) to 216mm (8.5”) at up to 101.6mm/sec (4inches/sec) from the roll.

Jules Farkas, European reseller director, said: ‘Unlike many units currently available, the VP485 is designed with large separate ink tanks. Each separate ink color can be changed discretely and is operated in conjunction with long-life print heads. This greatly reduces the frequency of replacements as well as the waste and costs associated with today’s tri-color ink cartridges. In addition, this system prints five times faster than any currently on the market and redefines the desktop color label printer market with its speed and quality, expanding the range of applications that can be served with this type of equipment.’

The VP485 enables color labels to be produced in-house, exactly when and where they are needed with the exact content and quantity required. It is suited to the production of labels with variable color, images, text and barcode content and can generate customized product and package labels for events, special occasions or private branding. It is also suited to the regional use required for products sold within foreign markets and for gourmet food, beverage, sauces, food supplements, medical devices, hardware/DIY in-store, colored shoe box labels and apparel price tags.

With high resolution print quality and full bleed printing capability, the VP485 produces labels from rolls or fan folded material in lengths up to 1219mm (48”) depending on width with gap, black mark and continuous format. It is equipped with an adjustable label position sensor and with additional features such as the automatic media loading for user-friendly operation.
