With the continuous improvement of the ecosystem of digital printing consumables and the increasing affordability of prices, the demand for water-based digital label printers in large, medium, and small printing enterprises for sampling and small-scale production is constantly increasing. UP Group - Shanghai UPG Digital Technology Co., Ltd. has launched a more industrialized and cost-effective LQ-MD 230 digital label printer based on its digital printing technology accumulation since 2015, as well as its experience in collaborating with American Memjet in the development of its first generation Northstar and second generation Duralink technologies with the production advantages of its member enterprises.
Combined with a 214mm A4 page width thermal printhead, the LQ-MD 230 digital label printer can achieve a printing speed of 9m/min at a maximum resolution of 1200 * 1200dpi in efficiency mode, as well as 18m/min at a resolution of 1200 * 600dpi in fast production mode.
The LQ-MD 230 digital label printer has received very positive market feedback since its launch. With its simple operation and printing cost as low as 0.05 USD/square meter, the product has achieved annual sales of 50+ sets in the European and American markets.

In order to further enhance the exquisite quality of printed products and reduce debugging requirements, LQ-MD 230B double row printheads equipment was launched in 2023. Its double nozzle redundancy greatly reduces the maintenance evaluation rate in production, while the misalignment alignment and feathering technology of the dual row printheads have made breakthroughs in solving the printing difficulties of splicing seams and color blocks in straight out digital printers.
In addition, with more RIP options and customized ICC color curves, the printing performance of these two digital devices has greater room for improvement to meet most label printing needs.
Finally, the latest LQ-MD 330M A3 size digital label printer with new ink system and larger printing format will be launched at the 2024 Druba exhibition, stay tuned.
