BIXOLON XT5-40 Series

The BIXOLON XT5-40 series is a 4-inch midrange thermal transfer label printer family for warehouses, manufacturing, laboratories and chemical labelling where a desktop printer can no longer keep up. It is available in 203, 300 and 600 dpi, includes Ethernet, USB and RS232 as standard, and is also offered with a built-in RFID encoder. It prints durable product, carton, compliance and GHS labels from a compact frame that takes larger media rolls than a desktop unit.

Choosing an XT5

Model	Means
XT5-40	203 dpi — shipping, carton and pallet labels with standard barcodes

Desktop, XT5 or industrial?

For a few hundred labels a day, the desktop SLP-TX420 is enough. The XT5 series suits steady daily volume and adds 600 dpi and RFID options that desktop printers don't offer. For multi-shift production, step up to an industrial printer such as the Zebra ZT411.

All XT5 printers below are CE certified and covered by manufacturer warranty. Match the ribbon to the label material — see our ribbons and labels.
