PRODUCT LAUNCH BROTHER TD-2D RANGE

A new label Brother has refreshed its compact labelling lineup, which now include linerless labelling capabilities for the first time and are aimed at customers in a broad range of sectors.

The new TD-2D range, which replaces the TD-2 series of devices, comprises 11 new two-inch thermal label printers, and includes models with the ability to print on linerless labels for the first time. Two new models in the range are linerless compatible, the TD-2320DFC and TD-2350DFC. By removing the non- recyclable backing paper typically used to deliver the labels, businesses can reduce waste and improve productivity, saving time by going straight from print to application.

No need for external connection Ease of use was a priority for Brother, and this can be seen in how users can create and print labels from a 3.5” colour touch screen and keyboard, eliminating the need to connect to laptops and external tablets. This feature is available for the TD-2D DSA models, offering customers a standalone solution and the option to create shortcuts to frequently printed labels. It should be especially useful for those working in hospitality and catering businesses, where it can help improve efficiencies with quick categorisation and easier selection, while maintaining compliance.
