OptiMedia Labs now offers the UniNet iColor 700 GHS Label Printer for businesses that need vibrant and compliant chemical labels that will make their products safer to handle. In addition to the other printers we sell for this purpose, the iColor 700 GHS Label Printer is a specialty option perfect for this use. It can make Glossy Polypropylene (BOPP) and Matte Polyester labels that are certified to meet the BS5609 standard.
This printer has the advantage of fast speed and high volume for particular label sizes: it prints 30 feet of labels per minute on rolls as wide as 8.5 inches. For ink, the printer includes CMYK color tanks and prints at a resolution of 1200 x 600 dpi.
While quality and clarity are always concerns for label makers, chemical containers need to be easy to read so users avoid hazards and make safe choices. Companies attempting to meet the requirements of the GHS will need to render the correct hazard pictograms in a way that leaves them recognizable.
Many of the pictograms involve the colors black, white and red, and some of the more complicated ones feature stripes or contrasting shades next to each other. Details are important, so handlers don’t confuse any of the black images with each other.
Along with clarity in the initial design, iColor 700-printed labels will also last throughout use and as they are exposed to the environment. The Glossy BOPP iColor 700 labels in particular can be immersed in salt or chemical water safely and can withstand damage that might make the contents of a label fade or be less vibrant.
