Afinia LT5C CMYK + White Color Laser Label Roll Printer and Digital Label Press
Professional 5-Color Laser Label Printing for Canadian Businesses
The Afinia LT5C is a commercial-grade color laser label printer and compact digital label press that delivers premium, durable labels on demand. Its 5-color engine (CMYK + White) produces vivid graphics, fine text, and opaque spot white on a wide range of substrates, including glossy, matte, clear, metallic, and dark label stocks. Whether you’re printing short runs for new SKUs or steady production jobs, the LT5C combines high resolution, fast output, and low maintenance to keep your labelling operation moving.
Print with White Toner: Standard, Clear, and Black Labels
Unlike inkjet printers that only use CMYK, the LT5C adds a dedicated White toner. This lets you print White on standard media for highlights, White on clear labels for backfilling and opacity, and White on black labels for striking contrast and legibility. With CMYK + White, you can execute premium branding effects—spot white, underflood/overprint techniques, and legible barcodes on dark substrates—beyond the capability of CMYK-only devices.
Why Laser Toner Beats Water-Based Inkjet for Durability
- Built-in toughness: Toner fuses to the substrate, producing labels that are water-resistant, smudge-resistant, and UV-stable—ideal for retail, GHS/industrial, cosmetics, and refrigerated goods.
- Consistent quality: Laser engines are not prone to nozzle clogs, so you avoid the maintenance cycles that can impact inkjet devices (e.g., certain Epson ColorWorks, Primera, or VIPColor/Memjet models).
- No banding: The LT5C’s electrophotographic process delivers smooth tonal gradations without horizontal banding, helping reduce waste and reprints.
What Is “Banding” and Why Does It Waste Labels?
Banding is the appearance of unwanted horizontal white (or light) lines across a print. In many inkjet workflows, banding occurs when printhead nozzles clog and stop ejecting ink consistently—an issue reported with some Epson ColorWorks, VIPColor, and Primera inkjet label printers. The result is visible white streaks, wasted labels, and potential replacement printhead costs. The LT5C’s laser electrophotographic imaging avoids this failure mode, delivering uniform fills and sharp details job after job.
Media Handling Made Easy
Engineered for production flexibility, the LT5C accepts label rolls from 1″ to 5.1″ wide, up to 8″ OD on a 3″ core. Dual sensors—Black Mark and Gap—ensure accurate registration on both continuous and die-cut media. An automatic cutter provides clean end-of-job cuts, so you can efficiently produce single labels or long runs without manual trimming.
