The LP350 is scheduled to be released in early 2022 to meet the growing demand for short-version, high-quality and variable content in major label markets. By combining the newly launched UV ink with a powerful inkjet printing engine, this new printer provides digital label printers with the best combination of productivity and quality available on the market. As the North American label market experiences unprecedented digital growth, the LP350 is positioned to help enterprising converters take advantage of these market opportunities.

In addition, dual white inkjet channels provide high levels of opacity for various label applications. The LP350 can print at a resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch (dpi), with 4-level grayscale and UV fixation between stations, so it has excellent print quality.
The LP350 also provides outstanding productivity, capable of printing at a speed of 164 feet per minute, regardless of the number of colors or the type of media required for the print job.

In addition, the setting time and process of changing the media type are simple and fast, and can be completed within a few minutes, which further maximizes user efficiency.
LP350 demonstrated its versatility, using newly launched UV inks that have a variety of resistances, including surface durability, light resistance, and water and chemical resistance specific to label applications. These inks also provide excellent print reproducibility, density and vividness, and can be used on a variety of commonly used label substrates, such as transparent supported and unsupported films, foils, metalized materials, and coated/uncoated paper.
Other key features include corona media handling, built-in static elimination equipment, media cleaning, fully variable printability, cooling rollers for shrinking applications, and post-press UV curing system.
