Watch How to Print Labels with the Kiaro! label printer

Cut Label Costs:

Get rid of your costly inventory of pre-printed labels! Instead of storing labels in the stockroom until they are obsolete, digitally print your own labels in short-run batches as you need them and achieve greater production efficiency. Unlike lower-priced inkjet label printers, the Kiaro! prints at a low cost per label. You’ll find that the real savings is in the low cost of ownership, and you’ll save plenty of money when you choose the Kiaro! digital color label printer.

Quit Wasting Labels:

The Kiaro! is unique among all digital color label printers because it prints on the first label out, without a wasteful blank “leader” of labels before or after labels are printed. Watch as a new batch is printed adjacent to a previous batch, with no blank labels in between. The Kiaro! prints labels consistently, printing full rolls of “useable” labels without stopping, cutting, and splicing the label material thanks to its reliable operation and “in job” cleaning process. No other high-speed inkjet label printer can say that!

Quick Label Printing:

Unlike other inkjet color label printers, the Kiaro! prints color labels at speeds that keep up with production lines, up to 40 feet per minute (from 2 - 8 ips, or 50 - 200 mm/s). With the additional ability to print one label and tear it off, the Kiaro! also operates at the perfect speed for manually applying labels.

Color Label Printing:

The rich colors, 1200 dpi high resolution, and tight registration of Kiaro!-printed labels rival the print quality of flexographic label printing presses. You can digitally print labels that are picture-perfect labels without tweaking any artwork or buying printing plates. Request a printed sample label to see for yourself!

View La Crema Coffee Company's Case Study

Melissa Flohn, owner of La Crema Coffee Company, a specialty coffee roaster in Cincinnati, OH, did something different in 2012: she bought the Kiaro! inkjet label printer to make seasonal coffee labels printed with whimsical artwork created by Lula Bell Art & Designs. The idea was a hit: La Crema Coffee roasted and sold over 500,000 lbs. of coffee bag gifts in 2012. After 7 months of printing coffee labels with the Kiaro! label printer, Flohn says “We love the Kiaro!.” “We went with the Kiaro! because of the color it could achieve,” says Flohn. “When I do a trade show, the first thing I hear from my customers when they walk into my booth is, “Oh my goodness, I love all the color – and look at the beautiful labels on that package.”
