Printing & finishing

Print your own color labels, off a roll

Ordering labels outside means waiting for them, buying more than you need, and finding the color is not quite what you approved. Printing them yourself means the run is as long as the job and the color is what you saw on the last one.

The ColorMaxLP prints full color onto label stock from a roll, fast enough that a morning's labels take minutes. We supply the label stock and the ink with it, and our own technicians service it.

Questions we get asked

How fast is it, really?

Up to 60 feet of labels a minute at up to 1600 × 1600 dpi. The Memjet print head has no moving parts, which is where the speed comes from and why there is less to maintain.

How wide can the labels be?

Full bleed on media up to 8.5 inches wide, on a variety of label stocks and styles. Send us a sample of the label you use now and we will tell you whether it runs.

Can it finish a roll without an operator?

In roll-to-roll mode with the optional automatic rewinder, yes. Roll-to-cut uses the built-in cutter, and print-and-hold is for short jobs you take off by hand.
