WEST WARWICK, RI, Jul 11, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --QuickLabel Systems, a brand of Astro-Med, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT),
announces the introduction of the new Kiaro! color inkjet label
printer, the latest and fastest label printer in the QuickLabel
family of digital color label printers, designed for businesses who
choose to print their own labels as an alternative to purchasing
pre-printed labels.
"We believe that the new Kiaro! is the most advanced, flexible and
user-friendly in-house full color label printer under $10,000 on the
market," said Eric E. Pizzuti, Vice President and General Manager.
"With its 1200 dpi print quality, 8 ips fast label print speed,
roll-to-roll label printing, on-demand print mode, and
easy-to-integrate compact size, the Kiaro! is the right choice for
printing color product labels in medium-to-high quantities."
In response to customer demand for lower-cost inkjet label printing,
the high-speed Kiaro! inkjet label printer was designed with four
separate, high capacity ink cartridges, one each for the cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black ink colors. The Kiaro! also offers an
Economy print mode which allows users to further reduce total
cost-per-label by approximately 15%. "I'm proud of the lengths to
which we have gone in addressing users' priorities and preferences
with this printer," said Kevin S. Brisson, Product Manager. "With so
many automated functions, the Kiaro! requires very little user
intervention in order to print your own labels."
According to the Company, users in the Kiaro! beta testing program
proved out the suitability of printing a variety of food labels with
the Kiaro!, printing dietary supplement labels with the Kiaro!, and
printing electrical and industrial labels with the Kiaro!. "Based on
our feedback, the Kiaro! inkjet label printer helps users to manage
label costs and to manage the availability of printed labels for
diverse product lines, including printing labels for private label
products and other customized products," said Pizzuti.
The Kiaro! inkjet label printer system includes one set of Custom
QuickLabel(R) Omni labeling software, a printer driver for Windows(R)
7/Vista/XP (32 and 64 bit), a USB 2.0 cable, a starter set of CMYK
Kiaro! ink cartridges, a starter roll of labels and a one year
limited warranty.
The Kiaro! joins the company's other high-speed, high-resolution
label printer, the Vivo! Touch intelligent digital color label
printer, in offering an in-house label printing solution to
businesses who need high productivity and high label throughput.
