The CX86e colour label printer from DTM Print uses the latest digital LED technology. As LED print heads have no moving parts, unlike classic laser technology, significantly fewer raw materials are consumed in the manufacturing process and a space-saving design and much longer service life are achieved.
The further development of label printers has focussed in particular on the issue of sustainability. An important technological advance was the reduction in the space requirements of toner-based printers through the use of LED-based print heads. One example of this is the DTM CX86e colour label printer.
The CX86e from DTM Print is, according to the company, the world's smallest LED dry toner colour label printer and uses the latest digital LED technology. As LED printheads have no moving parts, unlike classic laser technology, the manufacturing process does not involve any moving parts. significantly fewer raw materials and a space-saving design as well as a significantly longer service life. achieved. With a size of 198x195x380 mm (WxHxD) and a weight of 9.5 kg, the CX86e is more compact, robust and reliable than other printers in its class, according to DTM Print. This also means that it can be used almost anywhere and is easy to transport.
Printing systems from DTM Print run on low energy
In terms of sustainability, it is an urgently needed development that printers are manufactured in a resource-saving manner and that the printing process itself consumes less electricity. Another development in this printing technology is the new polymer-based toner, which allows more flexibility in the use of different media and lowers the fusing temperature, which in turn saves energy during printing.
The topic of sustainability still offers great potential. How can the machines consume less energy? How can resources be saved and recyclable materials used in their manufacture? What (new) environmentally friendly adhesives are available? How can labels be recycled and fed back into the production process?
„There is still a lot of room for improvement and we have already made good progress here,“ explains Katrin Hoffmann, press officer at the DTM Print GmbH. „All of our inkjet-based printing systems run with extremely low energy and can even be operated from the 12-volt socket in the car. With 35 years of experience, we have confidence in the longevity of our products and offer a three-year guarantee and a further five-year repair guarantee. This covers eight years of the product life cycle, which in our experience averages around ten years of use. The discarded printers can be easily separated into the basic materials plastic, metal and electronics and can thus be fed into the recycling process.“
