Striking Print Quality

One of the best things about CX1000 is its incredible 2400 dpi print quality. Compared to 1200 or 1600 dpi machines, you’ll notice a striking difference in overall quality. CX1000 output has much deeper and far more vibrant colors. Dot patterns are virtually imperceptible. And for the most precise color control, Pantone® -approved spot color support is included.

Impressive Performance

Print speed is 16.25 feet per minute (5 meters per minute). You can print up to 500 feet (152.4 meters) at a time which nominally equals an 8″ (204mm) diameter roll. Once a job is started, it can be left unattended. A built-in cutter automatically cuts the web once the job is completed and a sensor turns off the printer and rewinder. You’ll come back to a roll of finished labels ready to be applied to your products manually, semi-automatically or by an automated applicator. It really doesn’t get much easier or enjoyable to produce your own labels in-house!

Many Substrates CX1000 prints onto many different laser-qualified label materials, from pressure-sensitive plain papers to white and clear polyesters and more. A wide range of approved matte, semi-gloss, high-gloss and specialty food and beverage label materials are available. We’ve even qualified an all-new range of eco-friendly materials that are 100% recyclable. Printed labels are waterproof, as well as highly scratch, smudgeand tear-resistant. They’ve been specifically engineered for best-in-class performance with the toner used in Primera’s CX-Series Color Label Printers. Dozens of popular pre-die cut sizes are in-stock and ready for immediate shipment. Custom sizes are also available. Easy Setup and Simple Operation From initial set-up through running big jobs, you’ll find that CX1000 is as simple to use as any desktop office printer. There’s no proprietary operating system or inflexible built-in computer, either. If you’d like additional help getting started, we offer free technical support for the life of your unit.

Advanced Inks and Cartridges

Primera’s micro-fine dry toner-based inks have been formulated for substrate flexibility, robustness and low running costs. Primera’s toner is, in fact, one of the best in the industry for waterproof performance and for long-term UV and abrasion resistance. The four extra high-capacity toner cartridges are easily replaced in just seconds from the front of the unit. An integrated memory chip assigns each cartridge with a serial number and keeps track of precisely how much toner remains. This lets you to select exactly the right cartridges for the number of labels and the ink coverage you need to print. This helps to prevent running out of ink in the middle of a job. You’ll also utilize all of the toner in each cartridge, saving you even more money.
