Industrial colour label printing continues to evolve as manufacturers seek greater flexibility, lower operating costs and easier integration into automated production environments. Modern label printers must not only deliver high quality output but also adapt to a wide range of materials, applications and production workflows.

With the DTM CLP2200e Colour Label Printer DTM Print provides a versatile device for professional colour label production. Designed for industrial applications the printer combines flexible ink configurations, industrial connectivity and reliable performance in a compact, easy to maintain design.



A major highlight of this new printer is its broad ink compatibility. The DTM CLP2200e supports dye ink, pigment ink or mixed ink configurations, for example dye-based colour inks in combination with pigment black. This enables users to choose between vivid colour output or enhanced durability depending on the label application.

In addition, it features four separate ink cartridges for cyan, magenta, yellow and black combined with a user replaceable printhead, a concept already proven with the LX2000e Color Label Printer. This configuration allows users to adapt ink usage and maintenance to their specific production requirements while keeping operating costs under control.

Designed with industrial use in mind, the DTM CLP2200e comes in a compact metal case that can be easily integrated into production lines or space critical environments. Connectivity options include USB 2.0, Ethernet and a 24 V PLC interface, allowing straightforward integration into automated systems. 

For reliable media handling and simplified maintenance, the printer offers a flat label feed path as well as modular access points for cleaning and service. An external label supply feed for larger roll outer diameters increases the productivity. Operation and status monitoring are managed via the DTM CLP2200e Toolbox software and an integrated display on the printer. 

“We’re glad that true black is back at DTM Print,” says Lea König, Product Manager of DTM Print. “With four large ink tanks we can offer a competitive cost per label while staying as flexible as possible with dye ink for superior quality prints and pigment ink for UV resistant labels. Add to that the multiple connection options, along with 210 mm (8.25”) print width and you’ve got everything most companies would ever need. With DTM CLP2200e, there are only benefits and no compromises.”

To meet the typical applications including product labels for beverages, speciality and gourmet foods, gardening, cosmetics, chemical, GHS or supplement labels, DTM Print has developed several media modes, compatible with all different surfaces of the Genuine DTM Label Stock, which brings out the best of this label printer in terms of durability and print quality. DTM CLP2200e is also ideal for private labelling, test marketing, pre-press proofing and retail labelling. 

For customers requiring an even higher level of automation, DTM Print also offers the DTM CLP2200ep Colour Label Printer. This new model adds an integrated peel function specifically engineered for seamless integration into industrial environments such as automated production lines, conveyor systems, automated setups with robotic arms, machine integration projects and print-and-apply systems.

Its mechanically optimised peel position ensures labels are dispensed only after printing has been fully completed, delivering stable, jam free operation in automated and synchronised production environments. The controlled dispensing behaviour is highly tolerant of variations in label material, adhesive properties and print speed, reducing downtime while minimising manual intervention during long production runs.

Key advantages include:
• Optimised peel position for automation
• Jam free, continuous operation across varying materials and print speeds
• High resolution output with fast print speed
• Low total cost of ownership

Built on the same robust industrial printer platform as the CLP2200e, the CLP2200ep combines media flexibility, easy maintenance and automation readiness into a cohesive solution for demanding industrial production environments. Together, both models enable users to select the ideal configuration - whether for standalone colour label production or fully integrated print and apply applications.

Printer drivers are included for Windows along with BarTender UltraLite DTM Edition and NiceLabel Free DTM Edition Software to create label designs, add barcodes, QR codes and serialisation. Most other popular graphic design programs for Windows can be used to design and print labels.
