Incredibly versatile: AP 5.4 - the new thermal and thermal transfer printer from Avery Dennison

Be it card, paper or plastic, type plates or barcodes; when materials and fields of application vary, some printers just can't keep up. Versatility is the name of the game. With its new thermal and thermal transfer printer, the AP 5.4, Avery Dennison now presents a real all-rounder that operates with speed, precision and reliability in all kinds of applications.

Type plates, self-adhesive labels, barcodes, VDE symbols, serial numbers, and all this on paper, card or plastics such as PE, PP, PVC or PA - the new AP 5.4 makes a lasting impression. The result is a consistent, high-quality printed image that above all is abrasion-resistant and not susceptible to environmental influences and chemicals. Thus, life-long identification of product and trace ability on the basis of serial numbers printed on type plates is guaranteed- one of the specialisms of the AP 5.4.

These requirements in particular mean that the new printer is also in high demand in the automotive industry. After all, labels must make supplied parts identifiable quickly and permanently. Tracking individual parts such as wiring looms and interior door panels can be guaranteed thanks to reliable labeling.

One of the new printer's greatest strengths is its fast and straightforward operation, which makes for an efficient workflow. Labels and foils can be changed very easily, since the material feed opens at the side. No tools or special accessories are required to change print heads or print drums. An adjustment screw facilitates variation of the print pressure; a graphical display shows status messages and menu guidance in a user-friendly manner. Intelligent detail solutions including the pull-out print module for material feed and print head maintenance, as well as the adjustable label sensor, robust design and the integrated real-time clock make the AP 5.4 a reliable partner for everyday use.

An Ethernet connection, fitted as standard, makes it easy to integrate the printer into existing systems. Alternatively, it can be used offline, using a keyboard. The numerous accessories include cutters, re-winders and dispensers.

AP 4.4 - A basic version of the new AP 5.4 is also available - perfect for those who need only a print application. It prints on the most diverse of materials to meet your requirements reliably.
