Thermal transfer label printer

7 August 2013 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The K-Sun PEARLabel 360 printer with MaxiLabel Pro version 4.0 labelling software is Windows 7 and Mac compatible. It is a new 360 dpi, wide format, heat shrink tube, wire wrap and general industrial thermal transfer labelling system.

It prints on 126 different heat shrink tube and special labelling materials in sizes ranging from 4 to 36 mm for labelling tapes and 15 heat shrink tube sizes in various colours.

The printer uses durable thermal transfer printing technology on K-Sun LABELShop heat shrink tube, wire wrap, cable flag, adhesive tape, iron-on fabric, magnetic, reflective, photoluminescent and many more specialty supplies. The print cartridges are universally compatible with K-Sun printers.

The printer features PeelGuard, a revolutionary edge trimmer that rounds sharp corners to make labels stick better and at the same time reduce waste. A margin setting function allows users to reduce unwanted margin spaces down to 1 mm, saving tape cost and waste when printing multiple labels.

The printer offers auto cut, continuous printing and half-cut which makes tape liner removal fast and easy. Its easy to use software makes 15 different popular bar codes including the ability to custom design and print QR and DataMatrix two-dimensional bar codes. MaxiLabel Pro Ver. 4.0 has 839 built in symbols for creating safety signs and labels. PEARLabel 360 has mobile printing capability with the new K-Sun labelling app for iPhone and iPad devices.
