QuickLabel Systems expands Kiaro! family of in-house color label
printers with the Kiaro! 50, a narrow format label printer for various
applications
WEST WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2014--
QuickLabel Systems, an Astro-Med, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT) business unit, has
launched a narrow format label printer specifically designed for
customers with small labeling applications: the Kiaro! 50 digital color
label printer. The Kiaro! 50 inkjet label printer is available now from
QuickLabel Systems and is being featured in the U.S. at the Pack Expo
International trade show, in Chicago, IL from November 2-5, 2014.
The Kiaro! 50 is a miniature color label printer designed for printing
small, high quality labels in moderate volumes (1” – 2.16” in width).
Highlighting its capacity for printing quickly while maintaining a small
footprint, the Kiaro! 50 weighs under 10 pounds and stands just over 10”
tall.
“The new Kiaro! 50 responds to our customers’ requests for a smaller
color label printer,” said QuickLabel Systems Vice President and General
Manager Eric Pizzuti. “This exciting new product fits easily in any
workspace, while delivering the speed and print quality QuickLabel
Systems is known for.”
The Kiaro! 50 is ideal for printing high quality, professional labels
for many applications including: gourmet food labels, beverage labels,
dietary supplement labels, personal care and cosmetics labels, and other
primary display labeling applications that require printed labels to be
glossy or matte, with color accuracy and long-lasting print.
The Kiaro! 50 stays true to its larger predecessor, the Kiaro! digital
color label printer, by printing quickly and reliably, in high quality
in 1200 dpi, and up to 4.8 ips, which is enough to print 68 labels per
minute, based on a label that is 2” wide x 4” long. Like other Kiaro!
label printers, the Kiaro! 50 does not waste labels when printing, and
requires little user maintenance.
The Kiaro! 50 is best suited for applications in which on-demand label
printing can lessen the costs of labeling multiple SKUs and buying and
storing pre-printed labels, and in which it can increase opportunities
to sell custom-labeled products. The Kiaro! 50 digitally prints on blank
stock, from 4 individual CMYK dye ink cartridges, which allows long
print jobs with minimal user intervention.
Consistent Color Label Printing
The original standard-width Kiaro! label printer has laid the groundwork
for the narrow Kiaro! 50 to provide consistent operation, and
repeatable, high-quality performance. The Kiaro! 50 automatically
detects when cleaning is necessary and performs automatic cleanings
without wasting a label.
The Kiaro! 50 prints on an impressive array of substrates, including
gloss paper and polypropylene, yielding labels that are ready to use as
they exit the label printer.
Designed for Ease of Use
The Kiaro! 50 is easy to use, operate and set up. The fully-integrated
design is user-friendly, allowing operators to quickly load labels and
inks and begin printing their labels in-house.
The print drivers of the Kiaro! 50 are compatible with all major
labeling software including QuickLabel’s own included Custom
QuickLabel®, as well as third-party software such as NiceLabel® and
Bartender®.
