Pigment and Dye-based Labels
DuraPrime™ Duo Ink TechnologyPigment-based prints are highly resistant to the challenges of moisture, abrasion, sun-fading, and extreme temperature. This makes the F502 perfect for packaging requiring GHS compliance, as well as those with high exposure to moisture, such as beverages and bath products.
The F502’s dye-based prints are high-impact, colorful, and vibrant, making them ideal for prime labeling applications, such as in retail environments.
Enjoy the durability of pigment and the vibrancy of dye inks in the same printer. The F502’s ink interchangeability offers a level of versatility never before experienced in the label printing world.
BS5609 Certified for Durable Labels
Print BS 5609-compliant and GHS labels with the Afinia Label L502
The F502 has been tested and certified to produce BS 5609-compliant and GHS (Globally Harmonized System) labels, which helps keep chemical manufacturers in compliance with packaging and transportation requirements. This testing evaluates the permanence of the print through abrasion and submersion in salt water for a period of 90 days.
The F502 is perfect for chemical drum label applications, and for those looking to replace their legacy pin-fed systems.
Built for Industrial Use
The heavy-duty construction of the F502 color label printer includes an all-steel industrial cover, with a window for print bed visibility and status monitoring. It also includes improved sensors which allow for greater compatibility with specialty media, such as reflective metallic material. In addition to the standard roll-fed model, the F502 is also available in a roll-compatible version (L502) with the same build quality and basic feature set.
Improvements extend to the F502 Color Label Printer toolbox, allowing for increased control, including ‘Pause’ and ‘Cut’ functions. Firmware upgrades can also now be more easily performed.
Versatility Meets Economy
Not only is the F502 one of the most versatile desktop fanfold label printers on the market, it offers great value for small to mid-sized label applications. Separate CMYK ink cartridges contribute to a lower cost per label, since only colors that are empty need to be replaced.
