Canon U.S.A., Inc. has announced a new full-color label printer, the LG-P800. The company says it’s a versatile printer designed to help users create high-quality 8″ wide labels.

Because business needs are diversifying and product cycles are accelerating, companies must respond with greater flexibility and speed. In this environment, clear product labels can be an essential component for in company efforts to quickly communicate a product’s appeal, while adaptable management of labels in manufacturing and logistics are needed to help support frequent product updates, process changes, and strong inventory control.

Canon’s LG-P800 printer features a pigment ink system that is designed to deliver high-definition, high-quality output. Built for versatility, the LG-P800 printer can adapt to a wide range of labeling tasks – from product and inventory labels to shipping labels, retail applications and certain food packaging labels. Its specialized pigment inks are designed to help provide long-lasting durability, to help preserve label integrity. The printer also creates professional-looking labels with edge-to-edge printing on various media types from 2” to 8.5” wide.

According to Canon, “Users will appreciate the easy-to-use 4.3-inch LCD touch panel and automatic media detection, which help simplify setup and helps provide consistent print quality. Printing at resolutions up to 1200 × 1200 dpi, the LG-P800 printer is designed to help users produce crisp text and graphics across a wide range of media, including glossy film and synthetic poly, offering extensive creative flexibility.

“Additionally, the Sub-Ink Tank System allows virtually all the available ink in the tank to be used before having to replace it, helping to limit wasted ink. The empty tanks can also be replaced on the fly, without stopping the printer. This is extremely useful during long label runs.”
