Color Thermal Printing — BarcodeFactory Blog

Are there other options for two color thermal transfer printing? Yes. CAB printers, designed and manufactured in Germany, offer a two color thermal transfer printer that will high speed print two color labels in one pass, using two unique ribbon drive mechanisms’ that operate together. CAB makes the only true two-color thermal transfer printer currently on the market.  Each ribbon also has its own take-up spool, all enclosed in an industrial case, with multiple accessory add-ons.  See the CAB XC4 See the CAB XC6

One of the driving forces for this printer was the adoption of the GHS or Global Harmonized System mandatory for creating red and black warning labels. CAB printers are compliant to the GHS regulations for classification and labeling. CAB offers two industrial models that print 4 inch or 6 inch labels on 3 inch core rolls labels. The XC4 and XC6 two-color thermal printers each have ribbon-saver technology on one of the ribbon spindles. Because the color areas on most labels are less than the black text area, the ribbon-saver mechanism automatically adjusts the color ribbon to save space between each print area, thus using the least amount of color thermal ribbon with little waste. Any colored thermal ribbon can be used in to create label that easily identify their product.
