The BC400P is a high-resolution inkjet label printer designed for businesses that require precise, full-colour product identification and durable water-based pigment ink labels. This compact unit serves manufacturers and retailers who need to produce professional-grade labels in-house, eliminating the lead times associated with external print services. By utilizing a specialized inkjet technology, the device ensures that graphics remain sharp and legible even on smaller formats, making it a reliable choice for pharmaceutical, chemical, and retail applications where fine detail is mandatory.
Print resolution on this model reaches 1200 dpi, a specific technical capability that allows for the reproduction of dense graphics and miniature text that lower-resolution printers often blur. This 1200 dpi output is particularly effective when printing on supported media types such as matte coated paper, gloss coated paper, and Polypropylene. The system manages a maximum print width of 106 mm and can handle a maximum print length of 497 mm, providing flexibility for various container sizes. Because it uses water-based pigment ink, the resulting labels offer enhanced durability compared to standard dye-based alternatives, ensuring that information remains intact during handling and storage.
Production efficiency is driven by a print speed of 300 mm per second, allowing for rapid batch processing without sacrificing the integrity of the 1200 dpi imagery. The hardware supports a media width range of 25.4 mm to 120.0 mm and accommodates media thickness between 0.145 mm and 0.255 mm. These specifications ensure the printer can transition between narrow decorative stickers and thicker, more robust industrial tags. The physical footprint measures 386 x 570 x 394 mm and the unit weighs 25.5 kg, providing a stable platform for high-speed operation while remaining portable enough for mobile deployment within a facility.
Connectivity options integrated into the chassis include USB 2.0 Hi-speed, LAN 10/100/1000 Base, and RS232C, ensuring the printer integrates into existing network architectures. Support for IPv6 provides modern networking compatibility for secure environments. The user interface consists of an 8x LED display and a 4x key control panel, which simplifies status monitoring and basic configuration tasks. To maintain consistent print quality, the device is rated for an operating temperature between 5 and 35 degrees Celsius and an operating humidity range of 10% to 90% non-condensing.
The BC400P is the ideal solution for small to medium-sized enterprises that need to print high-density barcodes and vibrant colour logos on demand. It is specifically suited for users who work with Polypropylene or coated paper stocks and require the smudge resistance of pigment-based inks. Organizations that exclusively require high-volume monochrome thermal transfer printing for shipping labels may find a dedicated industrial thermal printer more aligned with their specific workflow.
