Canon Labelstream 4000 series is the first Pantone capable certified inkjet label press
he Canon LabelStream 4000 series is the first UV inkjet press to have been certified ‘PANTONE Capable’ by PANTONE LLC, having assessed the press’s colour gamut relative to the full range of PANTONE colours. The certificate confirms that, with the LabelStream 4000, customers can reliably and consistently produce an exceptionally wide range of PANTONE colours. The PANTONE Capable certificate acknowledges that the LabelStream 4000 series, a four to six-colour, industrial-scale, UV inkjet label press can cover 1,740 (81.3%) of the 2,140 PANTONE Solid Formula Guide coated colours, using the 5-colour CMYKO ink set, by adopting a Delta E 2000 < 1.5 absolute tolerance. Applying a Delta E of 2, enables label converters to extend the PANTONE colour coverage to 96% with only five on-press colours.

Using Xaar 2001 printhead technology, the LabelStream 4000 series deploys a highly pigmented ink set to enlarge the colour
gamut and deliver an improved level of colour vibrancy and saturation. Thanks to the recently introduced orange ink channel, customers can further extend the CMYK gamut in the yellow, red and orange areas without compromising print speed or reliability and achieve consistent high-quality output. The certification verifies that converters can now accurately simulate and digitally print an extensive number of colours on the LabelStream 4000, confidently meeting
customer demands for consistency and quality, and opening up new application opportunities. Such accurately matched colours will also support the ongoing transition from conventional to digital production by eliminating the need for lengthy set-up processes to replicate colours that may have previously been out of scope. Canon Production Printing VP and head of digital packaging, Crit Driessen comments: “When we introduced the LabelStream 4000, we were confident that the press surpassed the capabilities of many conventional and digital presses to accurately depict a large range of spot colours. With this Pantone Capable certificate, our customers can have the same confidence that, with its achievable colour gamut and performance, the LabelStream will reliably deliver the print quality and productivity needed for a sustainable digital label business.”

LX3000e Color Label Printer With ‘Big Ink’ D
TM Print, international OEM and solution provider for specialty printing systems, introduces the new LX3000e Color Label Printer. LX3000e, manufactured by Primera Technology, Inc., is the latest addition to the well-known LX-Series of desktop full-colour label printers and uses the same proven and reliable platform as the popular LX910e Color Label Printer, but with the addition of large, individual ink tanks and a reusable thermal inkjet printhead. The ink system is being called ‘Big Ink’ to differentiate it from other Primera models. Print quality is exceptional with native 1200 dpi resolution with a maximum print resolution of 1200 dpi x 4800 dpi. Labels up to 210 mm (8.25inch) wide and 610 mm (24inch) long can be printed. Print speed is up to 114 mm (4.5inch) per second. Each separate CMY tank holds 60 ml of ink. Pre-primed, user-replaceable printheads have another 42 ml of ink, for a total of 222 ml ‘out of the box’ ink. Both dye and pigment models are available. Replacement ink tanks are easy to install without further
priming for uninterrupted printing. The Big Ink system on LX3000e uses latest technology dye and pigment inks optimised for brightness, durability, and optical density. The latter is particularly high for LX3000e’s process black, resulting in the blackest black ever released by Primera in a CMY printer. Process black has many advantages for labels over the separate carbon black inks used by other colour label printers, including better water resistance, compatibility with a broader range of speciality label media, and more resistance
to smearing on high gloss media. The LX3000e is ideal for users that need to print up to 10,000 labels per day. Other users will find the very low operating costs to be just as advantageous. The rugged, powder- coated steel cover and all-steel frame helps to protect the printer in most office, warehouse, and factory environments. LX3000e is compatible with Windows 7, 8x, and 10. A macOS printer driver will be available for download in the third quarter of 2021. Interfaces include Ethernet and USB 2.0 wired ports.
“The LX3000e is a desktop label printer that expands perfectly our portfolio of printing solutions,” says DTM Print managing director, Andreas Hoffmann. “It combines the latest in ink technology, excellent print quality and exceptional low cost per label.” He continues: “Besides label printers for different production volumes our product range includes label finishing solutions, applicators and metallic foil imprinters.”
