Built on AstroNova’s pioneering Kiaro! platform, the QL-120X is
a flexible, high-quality, efficient solution for on-demand digital
color label printing. The product features economical,
high-capacity ink cartridges and efficient, dye-based inks.
“The QL-120X combines vibrant color quality and exceptional
resolution producing sharp, crisp, clear images and fast print
speeds to deliver what we expect will be the best customer
experience on the market,” said AstroNova President and CEO Greg
Woods. “This next-generation printer is designed to operate for
extended periods in rigorous production environments, making it the
perfect color label printing solution for an array of industries
such as food and beverage, biomedical products, nutraceuticals,
hardware, and cosmetics.”
Equipped with next-generation printhead technology, the QL-120X
prints three times more labels (over the life of the printheads)
than the original QL-120 and beats competitive printers on the
market on several key performance parameters. Four individual,
snap-in, color printheads allow for rapid on-site changeover,
eliminating replacement downtime or costly printer refurbishment.
The printer and printhead technology are covered under an
industry-best two-year standard warranty. With these improvements,
the total cost of ownership is reduced by up to 35% compared with
competitive pigment-based labeling technologies, resulting in
significant savings over the lifetime of the printer.
The QL-120X enables customers to:
- Use one printer for all their label needs: Simple to
install and easy-to-use, the QL-120X enables users to print labels
as narrow as 0.5” or as wide as 4.2” on the same device, using a
wide variety of media types ranging from matte to high gloss paper
and synthetics, all using the same dye-based ink, delivering
unmatched durability in a wide range of applications.
- Streamline production labeling: Every QL-120X includes
one free license to CQL Pro, QuickLabel’s advanced
labeling software, which allows users to effortlessly design,
manage, and print labels.
- Save money on inks and other media: The QL-120X delivers
superb 1200 dpi print quality,unmatched by any printer in its class
while delivering printed labels at a savings of up to 35% over
competing pigment ink-based technologies.
- Ready for enterprise networks: The QL-120X features a
native printer driver and utility for Windows®, allowing the
printer to be seamlessly deployed in a wide variety of business
operating environments with its built-in network
functionality.
“The design and benefits of the QL-120X reflect our philosophy
of being a strategic partner to our customers by providing not
merely a printer but a complete color labeling solution,” Woods
said. “In terms of quality, speed, and cost efficiency, the QL-120X
raises the bar and sets a new standard for on-demand digital color
label printing.”
