Vivo! Touch Intelligent Color Label Printer

Watch a video about the Vivo! Touch

Back to Our Roots in Intelligent Label Printing:

When QuickLabel Systems introduced the world’s first in-house digital colour label printer in 1994, we offered an intelligent printer that could process and print variable information labels on the fly via our optimized printer protocol and our native labelling software. With the Vivo! Touch, QuickLabel is returning to our roots in intelligent label printer design.

Intelligent Colour Label Printing On the Fly:

With the Vivo! Touch intelligent label printer, you can print Full-Colour labels on the fly, in photographic quality, as an integrated part of your in-house production process. Thanks to the Vivo! Touch's 1.6 GHz processor and 2GB RAM, you can rapidly print variable information labels at speeds of up to 127 mm/s (7.6 m per minute). That gives you the flexibility to changeover lines whenever you need to, to instantly print color labels in short runs according to production demand, and to make custom labels for private labelling, export labelling, and prototype labelling.

Custom QuickLabel® Omni software, which comes included with the Vivo! Touch, allows you print labels directly from your ERP system, production database, or other host system so that you can automate your label printing.

Die-Cut Labels, Ready to Apply:

The Vivo! Touch prints on pre-die cut labels. It has the intelligence to start printing in the proper location on each die cut label, regardless of size and shape. So you can print on die-cut labels without a costly die-cutting system. It will be easy to print labels on your Vivo! Touch, rewind the roll with a label rewinder, and (if you're printing full-bleed labels) remove the excess label matrix with the QuickPeel™ matrix removal system. You'll have a finished, printed roll of die-cut labels ready to load onto a label applicator or label dispenser.

We’re Putting Colour Label Printing at Your Fingertips – Literally:

You can print colour labels at the touch of your fingers Vivo! Touch, from its colour LCD touchscreen display. It's easy and convenient to print labels from the touchscreen, where you can choose label formats, enter print quantity, select print management options such as building and scheduling a queue of different label print jobs, verify the number of labels printed, and re-print a previous label print job.

TouchPrint™ Standalone Label Printing:

With its TouchPrint™ standalone print mode, you can print colour labels from your Vivo! Touch without a computer. Simply load your label files into the Vivo! Touch via a USB memory stick or download label files via USB or Ethernet. Each label file can be stored in the Vivo! Touch’s on-board memory. Before you print you can preview a thumbnail image of your label on the touchscreen to verify that you've selected the right file.

Low-Cost Per Label with LED Label Printing:

If you are evaluating printing your own labels in-house, achieving the lowest cost-per-printed label is probably one of your top considerations. The Vivo! Touch makes colour labels at an extremely low cost-per-label by virtue of its toner ink, which costs less than inkjet ink. The result is that the running costs to print colour labels with the Vivo! Touch are lower than other photo-quality in-house label printers, on a per label basis. And that includes the cost of the blank label, each separate CMYK toner cartridge, and a proportionate amortization of the life of each printer supply, including imaging drums, transfer belt, and fuser! The cost-efficiency of LED label printing cannot be matched.

Photo-Quality, Vibrant Colour Label Printing:

With the Vivo! Touch, we've pushed the limits of LED printing technology to make crisp, beautiful photo-quality colour labels. We accomplished this by developing a unique CMYK toner system and a new halftone printing screen that optimizes colour label print quality.

There's no trade off between print quality and print speed with the Vivo! Touch. With its processing power and on-board RIP (raster image processing), there is no hesitation between labels even at its top speed. It simultaneously prints high-resolution artwork and variable text, barcodes, lot codes, colour codes, and other content.

We’re Giving You a Hand with Label Loading - Literally:

Manufacturers who print their own labels don’t usually enjoy the process of loading and re-loading their printers with blank labels. Why should they? Blank label rolls can weigh several pounds, and there’s no good place to rest the roll while you open up the printer. That’s why the new Vivo! Touch gives you a hand – a “Third Hand” mechanism that automatically holds, centers, and locks a blank roll of labels on a spindle so it's easy to load into the Vivo! Touch. Watch a video to see how to load labels into the Vivo! Touch.

What kind of labels and inks does the Vivo! Touch use?

Vivo! Touch Labels:

The Vivo! Touch prints on die-cut labels. If you prefer, it can also print on continuous label material that can be die-cut and laminated in a secondary finishing process.

The Vivo! Touch prints on both paper and synthetic labels that are capable of withstanding the printer’s high fusing temperature. Vivo! Touch labels can be glossy, matte or textured. QuickLabel Systems manufactures Vivo! Touch labels from a wide range of materials that offer water-resistance, abrasion-resistance, solvent-resistance, and meet various regulatory requirements.

Request a quote for Vivo! Touch labels online or buy Vivo! Touch labels by calling 01628 668836 and speaking with QuickLabel Customer Service. Discounted prices are available under the Vivo! Touch MRC program.

Vivo! Touch Toner:

The Vivo! Touch uses a unique CMYK toner ink which is manufactured in extremely fine particles to ensure that each particle is uniform in size and shape. These precise, fine toner particles allow the Vivo! Touch to make colour labels with excellent clarity, colour accuracy, and smooth gradients. 
Vivo! Touch toner is fused at a very high temperature and bonds directly with the label substrate, resulting in highly durable printed labels that are scratch-resistant, fade-resistant, and solvent resistant, even without lamination. 

Order Vivo! Touch toner cartridges by calling 01628 668836 to speak with QuickLabel Customer Service. Discounted toner prices are available under the Vivo! Touch MRC program.

Vivo! Touch Wear Parts:

In addition to toner and labels, the Vivo! Touch uses Vivo! Touch image drums, Vivo! Touch transfer belt, and Vivo! Touch fuser to transfer images and print labels. Each time the Vivo! Touch prints labels, it uses a fraction of the life of each of these wear parts, requiring them to be replaced periodically, depending on use. 

Vivo! Touch customers can re-order wear parts by calling 01628 668836 to speak with QuickLabel Customer Service. Discounted prices are available under the Vivo! Touch MRC program.

 

Software for the Vivo! Touch:

The Vivo! Touch comes included with Custom QuickLabel® Omni software. Custom QuickLabel® Omni allows you to layout simple label designs, generate barcodes, create variable fields to that connect your label to a database, and automate label printing by connecting to your ERP system via its QuickCommand™ module. You can download a demonstration version of this software here.

The Vivo! Touch is also the first intelligent colour label printer to be compatible with NiceLabel software. We recommend NiceLabel software for advanced label design and connectivity with external databases, powerful print management, and enterprise label printing. NiceLabel is also the right labeling software to choose when connecting to external devices such as weigh scales and barcode scanners

The Vivo! Touch also comes included with a Windows®-compatible driver that allows users to print labels directly from their favorite graphic design software, such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®, as well as from virtually any other 3rd party Windows-compatible software.

Label Rewinder:

The Vivo! Touch prints directly onto die-cut labels. As soon as they are printed, labels are ready to be applied to your products. If you use an automatic label applicator, you will first need to rewind your labels.

The Vivo! Touch is used with a simple external label rewinder that sits in front of the printer and automatically rewinds printed labels onto a roll as they exit the Vivo! Touch. The rewound rolls of printed labels are ready to be loaded onto an automatic label applicator or label dispenser.

QuickPeel Matrix Removal System:

Die-cut labels that are not printed “full-bleed” can be immediately rewound.

Watch the QuickPeel™ Video

If you want to print “full bleed” labels (printing from edge to edge on the die-cut label shape), you will need to use a “matrix-in” label construction in which the matrix is left in place around the die-cut label shape in order to absorb stray toner that might harm the printer.

The die-cut labels can be easily peeled away from this matrix by hand, or by using the QuickPeel Label Matrix Removal System for fast, automated removal of this excess matrix. The QuickPeel System is composed of two units, a “dual rewinder” unit that peels the matrix away from the die-cut labels and neatly winds the matrix onto a core for disposal, and second “single rewinder” unit that simultaneously rewinds the finished labels onto a roll, ready for use on a label applicator.
