AstroNova introduces new digital printing products

AstroNova has introduced new digital printers under its QuickLabel and TrojanLabel product brands.  

QuickLabel QL-900 is a rugged desktop inkjet label printer designed for full-color labeling applications. Manufactured at the company’s newly acquired facility in Chicago using inkjet technology, the QL-900 enhances AstroNova’s offerings including supplies such as exclusive supply purchase programs, ongoing technical support, and a variety of label materials and substrates.  

The QL-900 features a built-in touchscreen interface, which includes a built-in job library, support for external RIP solution, and visual status of the printer locally (without needing an additional s/w utility installed on the host). The stand-alone capabilities offered through its touchscreen interface and internal job library enable users to easily manage printer setup and print operation.  

TrojanLabel T2-Pro is the company’s latest addition to its TrojanLabel brand of compact digital label presses targeted toward industrial and professional printing segments. It incorporates Memjet’s Duraflex technology to offer a print width of 12.75in (324mm) with a high print resolution of 1600x1600 DPI using durable aqueous CMYK pigment inks. 

It offers compact footprint (under 40in wide and 59in long). It can print on a continuous or pre-die-cut media and handle industrial-size label rolls (330mm wide with 600mm OD). The printer offers easy set up, a short media path and long-lasting printheads. A high-capacity data pipeline supports real-time variable data printing to support serialization and customization needs.  

TrojanLabel T3-Pro is a compact CMYK digital print module directed toward OEMs looking to integrate a print station into conveyors or transports to offer full-color digital printing for envelopes, corrugated or paperboard printing segments. Using Memjet’s DuraFlex inkjet technology, it provides the capability to print as wide as 12.75in (324mm) in full color at a top speed of 30ips (46m/min).  

VF-280 Commercial Vacuum Feeder is a high-speed commercial vacuum friction feeder designed to handle a variety of materials such as bags, envelopes, heavy card stocks, corrugated cardboard, jewel cases, calendars, and sheet stocks. The VF-280, integrated with the TrojanLabel T3-OPX, offers a modular direct-to-package post-printing system that enables high-quality, full-color printing directly onto materials with ink-receptive surfaces.
