Labels and Thermal Transfer Ribbons for the QLS-3001 Xe:

The QLS-3001 Xe offers some label printing advantages due to its unique thermal transfer printer technology: the ability to print long-lasting, durable labels and the ability print labels in the colour white, and in special, dedicated colours including metallic gold and silver. This is possible because, instead of using inkjet ink or laser toner, the QLS-3001 Xe uses colour thermal transfer ribbons as printing ink. With the largest inventory of colored thermal transfer ribbons in the world, QuickLabel sells over 70 different formulations of thermal transfer ribbons in a rainbow of colours. Request a quote on thermal transfer ribbon.

Labels printed by the QLS-3001 Xe are finished, dry, and need no additional finishing. Users can printed directly on pre-die cut label materials, producing a range of label shapes and sizes. Request a quote on labels to supply a QLS-3001 Xe label printer.

Compatibility with a wide range of thermal transfer labels and tag materials, including both pressure sensitive paper label materials and synthetic label materials that are not compatible with other printing technologies, is another advantage of colour thermal transfer printing. Many rollstock packaging films are compatible with the QLS-3001 Xe label printer.

Software & Accessories for the QLS-3001 Xe:

The QLS-3001 Xe comes included with a Windows®-compatible driver that allows you to print labels from virtually any Windows-compatible software. Custom QuickLabel Omni® barcode and label creation software is optional.

Custom QuickLabel® Omni software was developed to extend the performance of the QLS-3001 Xe. This software makes it easy to print labels in a production facility, with its Create module giving you the ability to edit labels in the office, and its Print-Only module allowing operators on the production floor to pull up read-only access to the labels. Label formats can also be partially locked, with only prompted fields available to the production operator. This protects the label against accidental edits, and allows production staff to input batch-specific data.

Custom QuickLabel software provides a simple interface to create label designs, including graphics, barcodes, lot codes, nutrition facts panels, and more, as well as variable fields. This labelling software performs all basic calculations needed for label printing, such as automatically calculating and printing a label with a “best before date” based on the production date. It also gives you advanced Print Manager options to handle printing of multiple label files and multiple print jobs.

QuickLabel offers many options and accessory devices for the QLS-3001 Xe, including:

• RW-2 Label Rewinder: This compact, robust label rewinder winds printed label material onto a roll as the material exits the QLS-3001 Xe. These rolls are then ready to be loaded onto an automatic label applicator or print and apply system.
  
  
• Tag Cutter: The Tag Cutter automatically cuts non-adhesive tag material to your desired length as continuous, printed tag material exits the QLS-3001 Xe.
  
  
• Label Cutter-Stacker: The Label Cutter-Stacker cuts printed tag material as it exits the QLS-3001 Xe and conveniently stacks each individual tag onto a tray, adding a flag to separate batches.
