Thermal printer for linerless labels

1 October 2008 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Custom Engineering has announced an enhancement to its Plus MKII thermal panel printer which enables it to print directly on linerless labels.

Thanks to the inclusion of an anti-stick roller and enhancements to the print head, the printer now enables users to print labels, and tear and stick them directly to their products.

Linerless labels are a new concept in printing where the roll of label paper contains the glue on the back, thereby avoiding the need for complex black mark settings to determine where the label needs to line up in the printer. The user simply sends the data to the printer and tears off the label.

The MKII version provides easier loading of paper with the press of a button and is redesigned for better aesthetics. It is 100% compatible with the current model Plus printer and operates from 3,3 to 7 V supply. Typical applications include measurement and analysis instruments, sterilisation equipment, portable terminals, PDAs for order entering, weighing systems, access control, industrial systems and truck tachographs.
