QuickLabel Introduces Kiaro! 200 Color Label Printer for Wide Labels

West Warwick, RI (PRWEB) September 23, 2013 -- QuickLabel Systems is announcing the worldwide release of its newest wide-width inkjet color label printer, the Kiaro! 200. The new color label printer is on exhibit, printing labels at major packaging and labeling tradeshows in North America and Europe this week. QuickLabel Systems is a business unit of Astro-Med, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT).

According to the Company, the Kiaro! 200 is capable of printing gorgeous labels that measure up to 8 inches wide by more than 17 inches long, at speeds of 8 inches per second, and is intended to satisfy the short-run labeling needs of manufacturers of large-size products within the chemical, dietary supplement, and food industries, among others.

The Kiaro! 200 joins the standard Kiaro! label printer, which enables manufacturers to print labels from 1-4 inches in width.

“Based on feedback we have received from hundreds of our Kiaro! customers around the world, we believe that the Kiaro! is the most reliable high-speed in-house label printer technology on the market,” said Eric E. Pizzuti, General Manager. “With the invention of our wide-width Kiaro! 200 color label printer, we can now serve new manufacturers with larger products and wider label widths who need to print color labels on demand, in-house.”

The Kiaro! 200 inkjet label printer is being featured in the USA at the Pack Expo show in Las Vegas, NV from September 23-25, in Belgium at Label Expo in Brussels from September 24-27, and in Germany at FachPack in Nuremberg from September 24-26.

Consistent Color Label Printing

QuickLabel says that the original standard-width Kiaro! label printer has laid the groundwork for the wider Kiaro! 200 to provide consistent operation, and repeatable, high-quality performance. The Kiaro! 200 automatically detects when cleaning is necessary and performs automatic cleanings without wasting any excess labels.

The Kiaro! 200 prints highly detailed images on labels from 4-8 inches in width, and up to more than 17 inches in length. QuickLabel says the quality is consistent, and the operation is easily repeatable as the printer consistently prints labels at 8 inches per second, in 1200 dpi high resolution.

According to the Company, the Kiaro! 200 prints on an impressive array of substrates including gloss paper and polypropylene, yielding durable labels that are ready to use as they exit the label printer.

Designed for Ease of Use

According to QuickLabel, the Kiaro! 200 is easy to use, operate and set up. The fully-integrated design is user-friendly, allowing operators to quickly load labels and inks.

The print drivers of the Kiaro! 200 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®.
