PRESSRELEASE

The L801 Label Printer has proven itself to be a very fast and cost-effective printer. How does it stack-up against 1600C, which is also a Memjet-powered label printer.

The Bottom Line: The Afinia L801 Label Printer is less expensive to acquire and is more capable than the 1600C.

Both printers are powered by Memjet print engines, the fastest desktop printer engine available. They both print at between 30′ and 60′ per minute and produce vibrant labels using proprietary Memjet dye-based ink.

Depending upon where you get your 1600C price quote, the Afinia Label L801 may be many thousands of dollars less. Also, the L801 comes with an enclosed label roll unwinder. It also has three cutting modes: Roll-to-Cut, Print-and-Present, Cut-to-Stack.

Conclusion: Both label printers are based upon the same print engine technology and will deliver high-quality results. The Afinia Label L801 will cost thousands of dollars less to acquire, which will decrease the amount of time in which you will experience positive ROI.

This is especially important if you will cost-justify your label printer purchase by printing your labels in-house, which can be a really good idea because you can:

  • Print as many labels as you need, when you need them
  • Avoid buying more labels than necessary, to meet minimum label purchase requirements
  • Avoid discarding labels made obsolete by changes in governmental regulations or ingredients
