Core label printing reimagined with new printer

Brady Corporation’s new BradyPrinter i7500 for 76mm core label rolls automatically adjust all its settings when new consumables are loaded. Ready to print in just 40 seconds, the printer removes all calibration waste by correctly printing the first label.

The approach in most industries to high volume, high precision thermal heat transfer 76mm core (3’’ core) label printing has almost always been “set it up and don’t touch”. Crucial for traceability and compliance yet excruciating to set up and calibrate, the 76mm core label printing experience has been a notorious pain point for many manufacturing, electronics, electrical and laboratory industries.

The company removed all label printing hassle in a new proprietary printer model to redefine the 76mm core label experience. Ömer continued: “The new BradyPrinter i7500 does not require users to adjust sensors, heat settings, define label dimensions or waste labels in calibration”, says Ömer Adisen, product manager of benchtop printers and software at Brady Corporation. “We call it LabelSense. The technology reduces the frustrating trial and error of manual printer calibration to print readiness in just 40 seconds. That includes loading Brady consumables, designed so they can only be loaded the right way.”

The new printer with LabelSense technology makes high-precision 76mm core label printing much more intuitive and efficient. Maintaining multiple printers is not required just to avoid the classic consumable and calibration hassle. “All optimal settings are already preloaded, and the printer automatically recognises every Brady consumable. The i7500 offers considerable print flexibility by enabling users to switch from printed circuit board labels to rating plates, raised profile labels and cable sleeves or between relevant specialised laboratory labels in just 40 seconds. Even when loading the tiniest 3.18mm QR-coded labels, the i7500 prints the first label right, reducing waste and supporting sustainable label printing practices,” Ömer stated.

In addition to auto-calibration, the device can manually print 76mm core labels from any manufacturer. Ömer offered: “When considering a switch to the new label printing experience provided by the BradyPrinter i7500, there is no need to devalue current label stock. The BradyPrinter i7500 can print any 76mm core labels from any manufacturer with great speed and precision.”

When combined with Brady Workstation label design, the software instantly recognises the dimensions of loaded consumables for fast and intuitive label creation. Next, to label design protection, Brady Workstation also includes an easy scan-to-print app and a data automation app to print labels at the right time with the right ERP-system data. The printer supports print languages like ZPL and can print labels using other label design software.

“The new BradyPrinter i7500 defines a new premium high precision printing experience for 76mm core labels,” Ömer says. “Fully automated calibration enables printing on different consumables within 40 seconds. Supported by a clear user interface on a large on-board screen, the i7500 prints a wide range of labels without any hassle. We can provide a hands-on demo at your premises to show your teams just how intuitive label printing can be.”
