PRODUCT LAUNCH Brother TJ-6421TN and TJ-6521TN

Brother enters six-inch label market

Brother UK has launched its first six-inch industrial label printers to help resellers meet demand for wider-format labelling across the logistics, warehousing and manufacturing sectors.

Labels are playing an ever-more crucial role in the logistics and warehousing sector, carrying more data than ever to help speed goods through to their destination at an ever-faster pace. With more information being desired on labels, businesses want flexibility to print larger labels to accommodate this. As a result, demand for six-inch label printers is increasing, which has led Brother to enter the market for the first time with two new devices. Brother’s new TJ-6421TN and TJ-6521TN models support a range of labelling applications such as pallet identification, outer-case logistics labels, chemical safety labelling and product ID tags used in automotive and heavy manufacturing. Built for durability and performance, the new TJ-6 models feature robust metal

construction and a touchscreen display for easy operation in fast-paced settings. High ribbon capacity of 450m means that less time is spent replacing label rolls, while fast print speeds of up to 12ips and optional internal rewinders to further streamline batch labelling boost labelling efficiency. The TJ-6421TN offers thermal transfer and direct thermal printing technology and prints up to 203dpi print resolution and a speed of up to 12 inches/second. Meanwhile the TJ-6521TN also offers thermal transfer and direct thermal printing technology, but at a print resolution of up to 300dpi and speed of up to 10 inches/second. Both offer a maximum print width up to 168mm (6.61 inches), so the pair can cover a range of applications.
