QuickLabel Systems Intros Vivo! Touch
By Canadian Packaging Staff
General Astro-Med QuickLabel Systems Vivo! TouchQuickLabel Systems, an Astro-Med Inc. brand, has introduced its new Vivo! Touch, a full-color digital label printer developed for dynamic color label printing in-house, on-demand.
According to the company, the Vivo! Touch is the first high-resolution, high-speed intelligent color label printer that is capable of printing color labels on the fly, in extremely high print quality, for in-house label printing by end-user manufacturers.
The color label maker utilizes a 1.6 GHz internal computer to efficiently process large amounts of variable label data and coordinate label jobs, printing color labels in high-speeds of 5 inches per second. The Vivo! Touch extensively leverages a new version of QuickLabel’s Custom QuickLabel labeling software to print color labels in breathtaking fidelity.
“The Vivo! Touch is an amazing digital color label printer that does two things that have never been done before in the same system: it makes color labels in excellent print quality and also dynamically prints color labels on the fly, at high speeds that keep up with most packaging lines. And it does it all at a low-cost per label that makes it affordable for manufacturers to print your own labels,” says Eric E. Pizzuti, QuickLabel Systems vice-president and worldwide sales director.
“Whether your packaging process requires you to dynamically print color labels with data from your ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, or whether you simply want the capacity to changeover your line quickly and instantly custom print your own color labels in photo-quality, the Vivo! Touch represents a great advancement in digital color label print quality, print speed, and in the user-friendliness of digital color label presses.”
The on-board color label printer intelligence and high speed label printing will benefit end-user manufacturers who require flexibility in their labeling process, both for printing photographic-quality labels used in private label and primary display label packaging, and also for printing data-intense variable information labels in color from ERP systems and production databases, labels with batch-specific and product specific label information such as batch codes, lot codes, expiration dates, ingredients, product descriptions, color codes, and other variable fields.
Pizzuti states: “Our new Vivo! Touch full-color label printer will satisfy the needs of manufacturers and processors who have asked for a digital color label printer that matches the print quality of conventional label printing presses and can make color labels on the fly, in-house. Manufacturers will be able to use the Vivo! Touch to increase profits and cut labels costs, especially in the food and beverage, chemical processing, dietary supplement, electronics, medical, and cosmetics and personal care industries. They will be able to make custom labels for private label customers in beautiful, photo-quality with label content that changes from label-to-label and batch-to-batch.”
Described as its next generation of printing technology, the new Vivo! Touch comes with an LCD touchscreen control panel and a new platform that will replace the previous Vivo! model. The Vivo! Touch color label printing process is regarded to be extremely cost-effective because it uses toner very efficiently, precisely depositing toner only when each dot of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black is required in a printed image.
