Print Crisp, High-Quality Colour Labels at High Speed with Canon’s New Label Printers
BRAMPTON, ON., JULY 24, 2023 – Businesses looking to print vibrant, long-lasting labels quickly or on demand for their products, look no further. Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce the addition of two inkjet label printers to its lineup of business products: the LX-P5510 and LX-D5500. These colour label printers can help increase productivity and reduce costs for businesses, as on-demand printing eliminates the need to inventory preprinted labels and/or otherwise outsource production. With the introduction of these devices, Canon Canada will offer both pigment and dye versions of 4” label printing products to support a variety of applications best suited for one technology versus the other.
The LX-P5510 Label Printer utilizes pigment-based inks to provide extensive durability and long-lasting results. Pigment inks do not run, smudge, or fade away when used with inkjet compatible media. The LX-D5500 Label Printer is a dye-based device that delivers clear and vibrant labels ideal for short-term, indoor use.
Examples of industries that can benefit from the LX-P5510 and LX-D5500 label printers include:
Chemical Manufacturing
Companies that need to put warning labels on containers for hazardous chemicals, complying with standards including the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), can benefit from either printer. Printing these types of labels with a traditional monochrome printer can be problematic, as government-mandated pictograms require red colour, and can vary by product and by destination. Using a Canon label printer to print these types of labels on demand and in colour helps deal with changing requirements quickly and easily.
Food and Beverage Manufacturing
Bakeries, breweries, wineries, and other food and beverage manufacturing companies can make great use out of the LX-P5510 and LX-P5510 label printers. Businesses can do away with preprinted labels for their packaging and can easily make design changes in-house on short notice. The colour labels can be used to visually grab in-aisle shoppers and convey branding, nutritional information, size, flavour type, potential allergies, and warnings.
Healthcare
Companies in the healthcare arena – including medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical producers, and pharmacies – can leverage the strengths of these inkjet label printers. Their versatility is particularly suited for printing labels pertaining to medical disclosures that require accurate and vibrant production of various unique data components, such as pictures, small but readable text, and colour-coded shades.
Retail/Wholesale Trade
For businesses that need to increase in-store shelf-appeal, or companies that consolidate large quantities of product together, a Canon label printer can be a real asset. It can help companies meet the need for sharp, full-colour pictures on shelf tags, signs, and secondary packaging labels in damp and/or refrigerated environments.
Transportation and Warehousing
Both the LX-P5510 and LX-D5500 will help companies involved in transportation and warehousing enhance operational efficiencies, better manage inventory, and improve shipping activities.
“Canon Canada is incredibly excited to be entering this new market,” says Gary Hansra, Senior Director, Marketing & Finance, Business Information Communications Group, Canon Canada. “Customers are increasingly looking to bring more work in-house, and these label printers allow them to produce high-resolution, full-colour labels on demand. By offering both a pigment-based and dye-based option, we can provide customers from myriad industries an easy and intuitive solution to improve their productivity at a low cost of total ownership.”
Core features of the LX-P5510 and LX-D5500 include:
Efficient and Flexible
Perfect for a desk or table, these compact label printers help provide a more productive work environment. The printers support both matte and gloss media, eliminating the need to switch printers and making them great choices for labelling a wide variety of products. Users have the option of adding a detachable roll holder, enabling operators to change labels quickly; a rewinder, allowing users to rewind printed label output from the printer for later use; as well as a non-stop printing auto cutter. These options make the LX-P5510 and LX-D5500 printers ideal for higher-volume label printing environments.
High Quality and High Speed
The LX-P5510 and LX-D5500 produce high-quality images with crisp colours, fonts, and barcode symbols at print speeds of up to 11.8 inches per second and 7.9 inches per second for 1200 x 1200 DPI print resolution, respectively. Users can choose from nine speed options and customize the number of labels printed. The printers can even print very small labels, down to .2”-1” at high quality.
Connectivity and Compatibility
The LX-P5510 and LX-D5500 are compatible with a variety of third-party label-printing software products, such as Seagull Scientific BarTender barcode labelling software. The LX-P5510 is also compatible with Microsoft Windows 11 (64 bit) and Windows 10 (64/32 bit); the LX-D5500 with Microsoft Windows 10 (64/32 bit). Both easily connect with a USB or Ethernet cable.
