4 Remarkable Features of the 4-Inch PEX-2000 Print Engine You Should Know About

Rising demand for automation and complex labeling applications has made automatic labeling grow in importance across various industries. Increasing customization, labeling requirements, and technological advances have led many businesses to search for solutions that help them cope with these growing demands while improving productivity and efficiency.

Automated print and apply systems are now widely used in high-volume applications. The 4-inch label size is commonly used for 4-inch by 6-inch shipping labels, high-resolution markings, electronics labels, and more. We also see the increased use of item-level RFID tagging in fashion, smaller labels used in electronics, surging demand in e-commerce, and the rise of environmental awareness across industries.

How can you upgrade your print and apply systems to accommodate growing complexity and reduce environmental impact? TSC Printronix Auto ID makes it easy for you.

Simplify Automatic Labeling Applications with Ultimate Performance

Our PEX-2000 Print Engine is designed for diverse applications, automating labeling in the logistics, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage sectors. This print engine integrates easily with any label applicator, guaranteeing compatibility, reliability, and versatility. The 4-inch PEX-2000 Print Engine has numerous advanced features tailored to specific applications and removes integration headaches.

  1. High imprint accuracy for small labels: With printing deviation within ±0.4mm, the 4-inch PEX-2000 Print Engine is ideal for electronic component and pharmaceutical label printing. Its 600 dpi resolution and support for a minimum 5mm label length make it suitable for small-size label printing without compromising quality.
  2. Industry-leading print speed delivers fast one-cycle performance: The 4-inch PEX-2000 print speed is up to 18 inches per second (ips) and can complete a 4-inch by 2.5-inch label in 0.56 seconds per cycle.
  3. Automated RFID tagging to realize smart track and trace: The optional RFID encoding module supports emerging applications, such as item-level RFID tagging in apparel or food. Long-distance back-feed also enables overstriking bad RFID labels.
  4. Patented ribbon saver prevents waste while saving costs: The ribbon saving function allows fewer ribbons to be used and more labels to be printed while reducing environmental waste. It works well with pre-printed labels, especially when special color ribbons, such as gold or silver, are used. Our patented ribbon saver's advanced, stable design ensures print quality.
