Label printers
XD4T
For double-sided printing
It prints on both sides of textile tapes, cardboard labels, pressed tubes continuous or ready-for-use, as well as on endless materials made of plastic, paper or cardboard. The ribbon separates from the materials with the help of a draw roller that also improves the accuracy of the imprint.
No print head adjustment necessary with different material widths. Print rollers provided for slim and thin materials.
For single-sided printing with centered material positioning and drawing roller please go to label printer SQUIX 4 MT.

- Double-sided printing, for example textile labels, shrink tubes and continuous materials

Accessories for label printer XD4T

Cutter CU4
Paper labels, self-adhesive labels, cardboard, textile and plastic materials as well as shrink tubes can be cut.
Perforation cutter PCU4
In addition, the materials can be perforated before they are manually separated.

Stacker ST4 M with cutter
The printed materials are cut and stacked. If the maximum stack height is reached, printing is interrupted. Even stiff or curved materials can be processed. We recommend to have these applications tested at our premise.
High print image with cab ribbons.
The software, which was developed by cab, opens the full potential of cab devices during label design.

1 Large graphic display
White backlight for optimum readability.
2 Ribbon holder
The three-part tightening axles enable the ribbon to be easily inserted. A preprinted ruler simplifies the adjustment.
3 Plungers
The print head is pressed on by two plungers. As the materials are centre-guided in the device, no print head setting or adjustment is necessary.
4 Antistatic brush
Particularly with plastic materials the electrostatic charge is discharged after printing.
5 Material guide
The material guide just in front of the print roller provides ac curate imprint. The material width is adjusted with a spindle.
6 Periphery connection
Additional modules are quick and easy to connect. All peripheral devices are plugged to the printer with the help of two pins and are fixed with a screw.
7 Separator
primarily if continuous or textile materials as well as shrink t ubes are processed. At high heat energy the ribbon can stick with the textile tape. A roller reliably separates the material from the ribbon.
8 Rugged metal chassis
made of cast aluminum. Basis to assemble all the units
9 Roll holder
picking up core diameters of at least 38 mm (76 mm adapters for a better label winding are included in the delivery). The material roll automatically centers when setting the margin stop. In case of core diameter 100 mm, an adapter is recommended.
DR4-M30
DR4-M60
DR4-M80
DR4S

In order to achieve an accurate imprint with slim materials and ribbons, also slim print rollers are needed. These prevent from print roller wear, print head contamination and errors during material feed.
Coating: synthetic rubber
11 Print roller DRS
It has an extra long service life at a higher imprint tolerance. Coating: silicone
