From initial set-up to full operation, the LX500 is easy to use. Plus, everything you need to start printing labels is included in the box. Each LX500 ships with BarTender® UltraLite Primera Edition software, sample roll of high-gloss labels, ink cartridge and USB cable. You’ll be printing full-color labels within minutes of taking the printer out of the box. Need to make larger labels? Try the LX600, LX610, LX910 or LX2000. These printers have all the capabilities of our LX500, with the ability to print larger labels. They offer additional features and ink options for extra UV and water resistance.
LX500: the single cyan/magenta/yellow (CMY) cartridge is $59.95. LX600/LX610/LX910: the dye-based single, ultra-high capacity cyan/magenta/yellow
(CMY) cartridge is $76.95, and the
pigment-based single, ultra-high capacity CMY cartridge is $79.95. For increased water resistance and a
darker
black print, a new CMY+ Ultra Black dye cartridge is now available for $84.95. LX4000: Dye and Pigment print heads are $77.95 each. The three color ink tanks are
$66.95 each.
What are the main differences between the five label printers?
Label Width:
LX500 will print on a label from 0.75” (19mm) up to 4.25” (108mm)
wide LX600 will print on a label from .5” (13mm) to 5” (127mm) wide LX610 will print on a label from .5” (13mm) to 4.1” (104mm) - die-cutting and
.5” (13mm) to 5” (127mm) - pre-die cut LX910/LX4000 will print on a label from 0.50” (13mm) up to 8.25” (210mm) wide;
minimum liner width is 1.5” (38mm) and
can be up to 8.375” (213mm) wide
Label Length:
LX500 will print a label from 0.75” (19mm) up to 24” (610mm)
long LX600/LX610 will print on a label from 0.5” (13mm) up to 12” (305mm) long LX910/LX4000 will print a label from 0.50” (13mm) up to 24” (610mm) long
Ink Cartridges:
LX500 utilizes a single Cyan/Magenta/Yellow (CMY) ink cartridge that
combines colors to make a process black. LX600/LX610/LX910 use a single, ultra-high capacity CMY ink cartridge for dye for
vibrant prime labels, and one for pigment that possesses UV- and water-resistant qualities. LX4000 has separate CMY ink tanks in both dye and pigment inks. You also save money
on ink since only the tank that runs out of ink needs to be replaced.
Label Rolls:
LX500 have a 2” (51mm) core with label roll Outside Diameter (OD) of 5”
(127mm). LX600/LX610/LX910/LX4000 have a 3” (76mm) core with an OD of 6” (152mm).
Speed: (Expected throughput for an 8 hour work day.)
LX500 – 500 to 1000 4" (102mm) x 3" (76mm) prints per day LX600/LX610 – Up to 3000 4" (102mm) x 3" (76mm) prints per day LX910 – 3000 to 5000 4" (102mm) x 3" (76mm) prints per day LX4000 - 5000 to 7500 4" (102mm) x 3" (76mm) prints per day

Which printers offer a built-in label cutter?
LX500 has a guillotine-style cutter built-in, while LX600, LX910 and LX4000 all offer a built-in
“pizza-wheel” style
label cutter. LX610 has a built-in die-cutting knife blade for cutting labels into custom shapes and
sizes. LX610 also
has a built in “pizza-wheel” style cutter.
What operating systems do these printers support?
LX500: Windows 8/10/11 or MacOS 10.13 – MacOS 15 (Sequoia) LX600: Windows 8/10/11 or MacOS 10.13 – MacOS 15 (Sequoia) LX610: Windows 8/10/11 or MacOS 10.13 – MacOS 15 (Sequoia) LX910: Windows 8/10/11 or MacOS 10.13 – MacOS 15 (Sequoia) LX4000: Windows 8/10/11 or MacOS 10.13 – MacOS 15 (Sequoia)
What is the highest resolution each printer is capable of printing?
Native print resolution is 1200 dpi. All can print up to a maximum of 1200 x 4800 dpi, although 1200 x
1200 and 1200 x
2400 settings are usually preferred since they print faster.
Do the printers come with software to design my labels?
Yes, they come with a basic design program for Windows called BarTender UltraLite. LX610 does not
include this software,
but you can download Bartender for free on their website. It allows you to import graphics, logos, etc.
and add things
like bar codes. You can also design your labels in a full-featured design program, save them as
high-resolution .jpg,
.tiff, .bmp, .png or .pdf files and use our software to arrange them onto your label stock and print.
Or, you can print
directly out of your own graphic design software such Adobe® Illustrator® as long as that software
allows you to change
the page sizes to the sizes of your labels.
For Mac, we don’t include software since most Mac users prefer to print directly from programs such as
Adobe Illustrator
or Photoshop. If you are not a designer, an easy to use software package we recommend for Mac is Label
LIVE software.
You can download a free trial on our website.Does any software come with the printers?Yes. LX610 comes with Primera’s PTCreate Standard software for Windows. PTCreate Standard allows you
to import images
and cut a variety of label shapes. PTCreate Pro is available for an additional purchase and works with
both Mac and PC.
PTCreate Pro allows printing and cutting of contour shapes. All other Primera inkjet desktop label
printers come with
Windows software called BarTender UltraLite. It’s an easy to use, very helpful tool that helps you to
layout your
designs onto the correct label sizes and then print them.
Can the printers also print bar codes?
Yes, for Windows users they come with BarTender UltraLite software, which includes just about every
type of bar code
used in business and industry worldwide, including 2D bar codes. LX610 does not include this software,
but you can
download Bartender for free on their website.
Are the labels waterproof?
We hesitate to use the word “waterproof,” but several of our label substrates, when printed onto by LX600,
LX610, LX910 and LX4000 with dye ink, are highly water-resistant. The LX4000 dye ink and 053013 Ultra Dye
ink, when paired with our white gloss BOPP material, is extremely water-resistant. We do not recommend
LX500 for labels that will be exposed to water. The black on LX500 is made by mixing cyan,
magenta and yellow. That much ink saturation can smear when it gets wet no matter which label stock you
use.
It is important to match the right substrate for your particular application. This is especially true
for
water-resistance. Before ordering a large quantity of blank labels you should try out some printed
labels on your
products in the environment in which they’ll be used. In general, we suggest a synthetic substrate for
high-humidity or
wet environments. Vinyl, BOPP and polyester label stocks are ideal.
The most water-resistant substrate we sell is the clear and white polyester labels. However, they are
also the most
expensive. Vinyl and BOPP are great alternatives but again should be tested before ordering a large
quantity of blank
labels. Vinyl is also ideal for very small or irregularly-shaped containers since it is very soft and
conformable. For
applications where water isn’t a concern, our TuffCoat Gloss White paper labels perform exceptionally
well and are
affordable, too.
How long will my images last?
All inks, whether dye or pigment, will begin to fade over time. Dye ink generally is recommended for
indoor use on
products that will be consumed in less than a year. If exposed daily to direct sunlight or bright indoor
lights, dye
inks can start to fade in a number of months. Dye inks deliver the best range of bright, vibrant colors
so they are
usually preferred over pigment ink for products that go onto food, wine and other consumable products.
Pigment ink has superior UV resistance. Primera’s pigment inks have been tested outdoors for more than a
year with
little noticeable fading. Pigment ink is usually selected if many years indoor or up to two years
outdoor life is
required with little fading. Labels printed with pigment ink will be slightly less vibrant, so are
usually selected for
more industrial-types of projects such as GHS labels, tags, photo ID badges, bin labels and much
more.
Do I have to buy my labels and ink from you?
Continuous label stock for LX610 (used for digital die-cutting) must be purchased from Primera or one
of its resellers.
This material is chipped and perfectly matched with the printer for digital die-cutting. Any inkjet
coated label
material for pre-die cut labels may be used. For all other Primera desktop label printers, you are free
to purchase them
from anyone you choose. Labels just need to be coated for aqueous inkjet printing. For non-Primera
labels, you’ll see
varying levels of water-resistance, gloss and other characteristics. Remember to always test first! Our
ink carts are
designed specifically for our printers. So, you won’t generally find them at brick-and-mortar retail
stores. However,
thousands of online resellers have them in stock, as does Primera’s e-commerce site
www.primera.com.
Are your ink cartridges refillable?
No, they are not. They are designed and manufactured for one-time-only use.
Are any of your printers wireless?
LX4000 does not have built-in wireless but can be made into a wireless printer with a low-cost to
Ethernet to Wireless
adapter. Customer Care reps can email you a list of currently-supported 3rd-party adapters.
Do you offer any financing?
Yes! We have relationships with both PayPal and Credit Key. Ask your sales representative for more details
on
these programs.
Printer driver assumes 2 mm gap. However, this is adjustable via the left margin offset.
* The Reflective/Black Mark should be opaque to infrared light. The mark should be between the labels. The end of the mark should correspond with the beginning of the label.
** This is the recommended maximum. There are two factors that determine whether the printer will accept any particular stock thickness.
