L801 Plus with Water-Resistant Watershield™ inks

Ask for the L801 Plus for increased water resistance

The Plus model offers greater resistance to water and moisture1.

Labels printed with Watershield are significantly more resistant to the effects of prolonged exposure to moisture than inkjet labels based on conventional dyes. This makes the L801 Plus perfect for applications such as chilled beverages, food, chemicals or pharmaceuticals.

This new technology also produces more neutral grays and uses inks from more responsible sources2.

1 Water resistance may depend on the support used. Always test the printed label to ensure that it meets the requirements.
2 Watershield™ inks contain no chemicals considered harmful to humans or the environment

• High-capacity printing
• Fast print speed (≤ 12 IPS)
• Very low ink costs
• Best seller

The L801's combination of high print quality, speed, and ink costs makes it a popular choice for high-impact, full-color labels. In addition, the Plus model offers greater resistance to water and humidity, making it ideal for applications where labels are exposed to wet or humid conditions for an extended period.

L801/L801 Plus Details

Minimize ongoing ink costs

The cost per label should be just as important as the cost of the printer when investing in a label printer. Ongoing costs are minimized by the L801's industry-leading ink cost, which can be easily calculated using the included software. It can hold 1.25 liters of ink to support large runs and has easy-to-access ports for quick and easy replacement of media and ink. An optional powered winder simplifies printing on finished rolls.

Integrated winder

The L801 includes an integrated winder that accepts rollers up to 8 inches (203 mm) in diameter. The steel cover protects the substrate from dust and debris, reducing the potential for printing problems and extending the life of the printhead. The roller support is constantly and evenly fed to the printer.

Roll to roll label printing

The optional wrapper matches the L801 perfectly to allow the continuous production of roll-to-roll labels. Easily handle rollers up to 8 inches in outside diameter for high-intensity work and reduced media costs. It's a recommended addition for businesses that experience high usage or heavy duty work.

Like the L801, the wrapper can handle label sizes up to 8.5" wide and rolls with an outer diameter of up to 8.0". It offers you the option to choose the direction of rotation to position the labels to face inwards or outwards.

Once the wrap is complete, simply remove the core holder and the completed roller.
