Would you ever have a need to print some form of thick media; such as
this 17 mil (.4317 mm) tags?

| Thick Inkjet Coated Tags |
Or this
0.423 mm or 16.6 mil RFID label from Avery: http://labelmatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/RFID_AD223_224_431_GB_0609.pdf
Even
this .07” (70 mil or 1.8 mm) RFID label from Fujitsu: https://www.fujitsu.com/global/documents/solutions/business-technology/intelligent-society/ait/tags/Fujitsu-RFID-and-Sensor-Solution-RFID-Integrated-Label.pdf
If
you do, you currently have limited options.
Yes; the C831 can print media up to 4.5 mm or 117 mil thick using the “anti-scraping
mode”.
But the C831 printer is the exception
in the color world. And yes; some
thermal transfer printers have the ability to print media up to 24 mil thick. https://www.satoamerica.com/Uploads/Files/Datasheets/TXPSX%20Series%20Datasheet.pdf
In
the color label printing world, media thickness is a limiting factor. For example, the Neuralabel 300x has a spec
at approximately 7 to 8 mils or .2 mm. The
TM-C3500 color label printer has the same spec at 7.5 mils or .19 mm thick: http://www.epson.com.au/pos/products/receiptprinters/DisplaySpecs.asp?id=TM-C3500
The
TM-C7500 color label printer has a spec at 9.3 mil or .236 mm (page 191): https://files.support.epson.com/docid/other/m00079105.pdf
The
LX2000 color label printer has a spec at 10 mils or .25 mm: https://www.primeralabel.com/lx2000_specs.html
And
the Memjet-based printers (TrojanOne, L801, VIP 700, etc.) have a spec of .3 mm
or 12 mils: http://afinialabel.com/equipment/l801-printer/
If you need to print thick media, both labels and tags, you’ve not had
an option; until now with the CMYK label printer.

| CMYK Print Engine |
With the CYMK print engine, you can print media on any thickness you
can roll. Watch us print labels in both
slow and fast mode:
Currently, we’re using a large winder system to print this thick
media. Shortly, however, we’ll launch a
more affordable media handing system with a conveyor for precise label
management:

Using
this same print engine, we can print on corrugated, both flat and folded. Learn more here: www.directtocorrugated.com
We demonstrated these printers at WestPack: http://colorlabelsondemand.blogspot.com/2016/02/cls-at-westpack-2016.html

If you need to print thick media such as RFID labels or tags in color,
contact us to learn more about this exciting new technology. And your feedback on the fit of this technology
would be appreciated.
