The Afinia L901 Industrial Color Label Printer combines industrial design, exceptional image quality, and high production speeds with the ability to service and maintain the printhead “on-the-fly.” This makes the L901 powerful in both long roll-to-roll jobs and inline integration with label finishers, applicators, dispensers, and more.
Producing vibrant full-color prints at up to 1600 dpi resolution, the L901 delivers an ultra-low cost per label thanks to five high-capacity 250mL CMYKK ink cartridges. Its revolutionary print engine allows mid-job printhead cleaning — crucial for full inline operation — while industrial build quality supports all-day printing in a production environment.
The L901 Plus model adds Watershield™ for increased moisture resistance, ideal for labels exposed to moisture such as chilled beverages, foods, chemicals, or pharmaceutical products. An optional XL Unwind/Rewind System is available for high-capacity roll-to-roll production.
