Label printers SQUIX 4 MT
Particularly for textile materials

  • innovative technology
  • easy operation
  • accurate imprint
  • reliable and fast printing
  • compact, appealing design
  • highest quality standards

The SQUIX 4 MT are the further development of A4+T. The professional SQUIX label printers fit with a wide range of industrial applications. They have been developed with focus on easy and convenient operation and high reliability.

The print mechanics and the chassis are made of high-quality materials and perfectly match in terms of shape and function. A large number of peripherals and software enable customer-specific solutions.

Whether they are operated in stand-alone mode, in a PC application or within a network - the rugged SQUIX printers are always up to the mark. The high-speed processor ensures fast job processing and immediately provides the required label.

The textile printer

It is also possible to print on labels or continuous materials that are wound on rolls or reels.

As regards the label width, no adjustment of the plungers is needed.

Width-adapted print rollers are provided for slim materials.

SQUIX 4 MT details
Label printer SQUIX 4 MT

Technical details

Differences compared to a left-aligned material guide

1 Ribbon holder
Easy insertion of the ribbons is enabled with the three-part tightening axles. A preprinted ruler simplifies the adjustment.

2 Roll holder
When setting the margin stop, the material roll is automatically centered. If rolls with 100 mm core diameter are processed, an adapter is recommended.

3 Plungers
Both plungers are fixed for all material widths. No print head settings or adjustments are necessary.

4 Antistatic brush
Particularly with plastic materials the electrostatic charge is discharged after printing.

5 Separator
At high heat energy the ribbon can stick with the textile tape. A roller reliably separates the material from the ribbon.

6 Material guide
The material guide just in front of the print roller provides accurate imprint. The material width is adjusted with a spindle.

7 Print rollers' coating
Synthetic rubber is standard for accurate imprint; silicone is available as an option for an extra long service life at a higher imprint tolerance

DR4-M25     DR4-M25

DR4-M50     DR4-M50

DR4-M80     DR4-M80

8 Slim print rollers
In order to achieve accurate imprint with slim materials and ribbons slim print rollers are needed. These prevent from print roller wear, print head contamination and errors during material feed.

Coating: synthetic rubber

Technical data SQUIX  with SQUIX M and SQUIX MP by comparison (PDF)

  1. The material specifications are standard values. Applications with small labels, thin, slim, thick and stiff materials as well as strongly adherent labels have to be tested.
  2. in cases of tearing off, cutting, rewinding
  3. The ribbon should at least correspond with the width of the liner material.
