Key features of the system include:
- Print Anywhere – Whether on the office network or without any Internet access, the Leitz Icon app will always connect the Leitz Icon printer with a Wi-Fi-enabled device. Software is currently available for Mac, Windows and iPad with apps for the iPhone and Android coming soon.
- Load Cartridges with a Click – The Leitz Icon Smart Labeling System uses convenient, drop-in labeling cartridges. This eliminates the need to feed labels into the printer and allows users to quickly switch between sizes and materials to perform complicated tasks quickly. The cartridge’s smart technology relays the critical information about its material, color, width or how many labels remain so users can print without even being near the printer.
- Print Responsibly – Leitz Icon Intelligent Label Cartridges are made out of sustainable materials – the largest component is made of recycled paper pulp – making them fully recyclable by dropping in a standard blue bin. This solution, in particular, exemplifies how a smart solution can create both technical and sustainable benefits for users.
- Printing Options – With speeds up to 200 labels per minute, the Leitz Icon Smart Labeling System is the fastest label printer on the market. The Leitz Icon printer will not sacrifice quality for speed printing high-quality text and images up to 300 x 600 dpi on white, yellow or red material stock. Users can print labels from .5 inches to 3 feet long using continuous material cartridges or print high-speed on die cut label cartridges. An automatic cutter allows users to create custom-sized labels and signage.
- The Continuous Difference – Users no longer have to change the cartridge to print different types of labels. With the 3.5” Continuous Leitz Intelligent Label Cartridge, the label system can print 8 standard labels and hundreds of unique and custom sizes.
- On The Go - At just 2 lbs., the Leitz Icon printer can easily be taken anywhere by adding the Leitz Icon Battery Pack (sold separately). Print up to 500 Labels or for four hours per charge with 8 hours of standby, the Leitz Icon Smart Labeling System is ready when you need it.
