Direct Thermal Printer (D43)
The D43 is a compact industrial label printer designed for automated print and apply labelling where direct thermal labels are required. It is suited to production and packaging environments where clear, consistent print quality and straightforward integration are essential, particularly where space is limited. Speak to our team about integrating D43 direct thermal printers into your print and apply labelling system.
Direct Thermal Printing for Automated Labelling
- Direct thermal print capability: Supports applications where ribbon is not required, simplifying media handling.
- Compact industrial construction: The printer’s size supports integration into a wide range of production lines and packaging machines.
- Flexible orientation: Available in standard and clockwise configurations, allowing the printer to be positioned to suit line layout, access and installation constraints.
- Centralised paper path: The label path allows the full printable area of each label to be used and supports changeover between different label widths.
- Automatic label positioning: Each time the print mechanism is opened, the label sensor adjusts automatically to maintain correct label position.
- Service accessible design: When the print head is opened, the attached applicator moves away automatically, providing clear access for media changes and cleaning.
- System integration support: Communication via the Evolabel protocol enables straightforward integration with production and line control systems.
Suitable Applications for D43 Printing
The D43 is typically selected for automated labelling applications where consistent label placement is required and direct thermal printing is appropriate.
Packaging operations: Printing and applying labels as part of automated packing processes.
Manufacturing environments: Producing variable data labels for products, cases or packs.
Logistics and distribution: Printing labels used for internal handling and identification.
Designed for Print and Apply Integration
The D43 is designed to operate as part of a complete print and apply labelling system. Its communication interfaces support connection to production control systems and its mechanical design allows it to be paired with a range of applicators to suit different labelling requirements.
