The noon problem

A new SKU ships at noon. Its colour label shouldn’t take days.

01
The new SKU ships at noon.
It needs its own label, in colour.
02
The pre-printed stock is already obsolete.
Last quarter’s labels don’t match today’s spec, so they get written off.
03
Outsourced colour takes days.
Days the line doesn’t have.

So, bring it in-house.

How it works

From roll to label in five steps.

From loading the media to reprinting tomorrow’s run, everything happens at the printer.

Questions, answered.

What is the Canon LG-P800?

The Canon LG-P800 is an 8 inch, pigment-based colour inkjet label printer. It prints up to 1200 x 1200 dpi on roll or fanfold media from 2 to 8.5 in wide, lets you swap ink tanks without stopping the printer, and reprints stored jobs from its 500 GB HDD.

What media and label sizes does the LG-P800 support?

Inkjet coated matte or glossy media, on a roll with the roll holder or as fanfold. Width is 2.0 to 8.5 in (50.9 to 216.0 mm) including liner, length is 1.5 to 53.0 in, and thickness is 5.0 to 8.5 mil. Results vary depending on media used.

What resolution does the Canon LG-P800 print at?

The LG-P800 prints at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, for clear variable data, barcodes, QR codes and graphics on matte and gloss inkjet-compatible media. Results vary depending on media used.

Can you change ink on the LG-P800 without stopping the printer?

Yes. Canon’s Sub-Ink Tank System lets you replace an ink tank on the fly, without stopping the printer, and uses virtually all the ink in a tank before you replace it.

Can the LG-P800 reprint labels without a computer?

Yes. Jobs are stored on the 500 GB HDD, so you can reprint them from the 4.3 in touch panel without going back to a PC.

Does the LG-P800 print white ink or spot colours?

No. The LG-P800 uses four pigment inks only: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. It has no white or spot colour ink.

Is the LG-P800 suitable for food packaging labels?

Yes, for the non-food-contact surfaces of food packaging. Canon designs the inks to comply with the applicable FDA safety requirements under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21, Parts 170 to 199, for printing inks used on the non-food-contact surfaces of food packaging. You are responsible for verifying regulatory compliance for your specific application.
