Thermal Transfer Printers

XL5000 Thermal Transfer Printer

Our entry level Thermal Transfer Printer, the XL5000, allows you to label products flexibly. It easily copes with regular changes in the message format and the rapid changeover in production. One of its strengths is the large ink ribbon capacity, which means very little downtime. With its attractive price, the XL5000 offers coding and marking for a small budget. It's a replacement for the previous entry level, analogue technology (hot stamping) pioneered by our forefathers.

If you want to print on a smooth material such as packaging film, a label or paper, the prerequisites for using a thermal transfer printer are met. The XL5000 is suitable for printing fixed data such as logos, text and barcodes, but also for variable data such as expiry dates and batch numbers.

Why the XL5000?

20% of functions in thermal transfer printers are unused in the majority of cases. The XL5000 was introduced with the functionality required to meet 80% of market requirements.

Print Area

53 x 300mm

Large 300mm print length and up to this model is fixed as a 53mm print height only option as this is by far the most widely used size in the marketplace.

Intermittent or Continuous Operation

Ultimate flexibility in meeting today's needs and future changes to production or simply to move between different lines.

Large Ribbon Capacity 900m

A whopping 900m long ribbon extends your changeover period This reduces downtime in production. Therefore increasing product output.

Full Range Functions,
With Low Price

Providing you with full functionality required in those 80% of applications meaning that you are not paying for unrequired functions

Low Downtimes

Intelligent printhead is designed to only heat the pins that are required to lay down the message. This saves energy and prolongs the printhead life as lower wear is achieved.

Low Installation Height

Easily fits into existing frames particularly its forefather the Compact/Hot Stamp's frame. Saving on the cost of a new frame and reduced installation costs and production line downtime.

Flexible Pressure Angle

Specifically designed air pressure cyclinder ensuring correct and evenly distributed pressure is applied to the ribbon, ensuring consistently high print quality time after time.

Thermal Transfer Printers

Seeing is believing. 

Take full control of your marking and coding.

Sometimes a lot of information needs to be printed on a label. For example: ingredients and hazard warnings in several different languages. The user friendly interface and software follows the same DNA as its bigger brothers in the NGT range, enabling you to have a hybrid of thermal transfer equipment types from i-mark. Whilst ensuring cost controls by having the right printer for the right application.
