New color label printer offers industry-leading performance at a breakthrough price.

PLYMOUTH, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Primera Technology, Inc., one of the world’s leading manufacturers of specialty printers, today announced shipping of their new CX1000 Color Label Printer.

Designed for in-house production of professional-quality product labels, CX1000 is ideal for producing short- to medium-run jobs from 50 to 5,000 labels per roll in various sizes. With 2400 dpi print resolution and print speed of 16.25 feet per minute (5 meters/minute), CX1000 delivers professional full-color print quality along with high-speed production.

CX1000 prints onto many different laser-qualified label materials including pressure-sensitive plain papers, white and clear polyesters and more. A wide range of approved matte, semi-gloss, high-gloss and specialty food and beverage label materials are available. Primera has also qualified an all-new selection of eco-friendly substrates that are made of up to 100% post-consumer waste.

Printed labels are waterproof, highly scratch, smudge and tear-resistant. Ink is also highly UV-resistant so printed labels can be used indoors or outside. Many of the most popular pre-die cut sizes are in-stock and ready for immediate shipment. Custom sizes are also readily available.
