A compact digital label printer has been launched by Intec Printing Solutions at its office in Poole, Dorset. The Edge 850 is built by iSys Label in Canada and will cost £11,899 in the UK. Intec is the sole distributor for Europe and a range of other territories.
‘This new short run label printer is ideal for those wishing to print small quantities of their own labels and compliments the existing range of Intec on demand printers,’ said Ian Melville, managing director of Intec, adding: ‘The Edge 850 prints 2000 labels in just 19 minutes.’
It uses a toner based CMYK print engine running at 9.14 metres per minute, with a maximum print width of 209.3 mm on media up to 216 mm wide. It can run self-adhesive label stock, die-cut label stock, tag stock and films. and synthetics. The resolution is 1200 x 600 dpi. The printer’s footprint is 434mm x 546mm plus 502 mm for the rewinder and it weighs 49.9 kg.
Mark Hopkins, president of iSys, said: ‘Traditionally if you wanted 1000 labels you’d have to commit to a much larger number to make it worthwhile for the printer to do the job. Plus you’d typically have to wait two weeks before you could have them. This isn’t acceptable and this is where the new Edge 850 is so valuable. Now customers can print their own labels quickly and efficiently. It will handle both die cut and non-die-cut stock. The Edge also has change-out toner, easy to use software and sets up in just 15 minutes.’
The Mayor of Poole, Cllr Mrs Carol Evans, unveiled the Edge 850 at an that was also attended by Under Sheriff of Dorset Katharine Jones and guests from as far away as Zimbabwe, Slovakia, Turkey, Italy and France.
