Comments

• The Primera LX2000 offer best value for high resolution GHS label printer in the market at only $3495 for 6 inches per minute speed and 4800 dpi printing resolution.
• VIPColor VP495 uses very old version of the HP Pigment ink cartridges and provides the lowest print resolution and the lowest speed. Overal printer is not extremely reliable. Has many label jam issues.
• If you need to print very large quantity of GHS labels, then the Neauralab 300x at 20 inches per second will get you jobs completed pretty fast. This is the faster GHS Chemical Label printer in the market, even when compared to laser based printers.
• Price of the NeuraLabel 300x is an estimate only. It has not yet been announced.
