Novexx XLP 604, XLP 605, XLP 606 - Heavy-Duty Label Printers
The Novexx XLP 604, XLP 605 and XLP 606 are heavy-duty, high-performance industrial label printers built for demanding, high-volume production environments. Printing at speeds of up to 400mm/s at 300 dpi, the XLP 600 series is designed for operations where throughput, reliability and print quality cannot be compromised.
Suitable for product labels, carton labels and pallet labels across food & beverage, logistics, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and manufacturing applications, the XLP 60x range handles barcodes (linear and 2D), text, graphics and logos on a wide range of materials including self-adhesive, card and synthetic substrates.
Available in 4" (106mm), 5" (127mm) and 6" (160mm) print widths and supplied with full UK support from ALS, the XLP 60x series can be configured with a range of optional accessories and applicator modules to suit your specific line requirements.
The XLP 60x series share many great features with their XLP51x cousins but they also differ significantly, so here is a quick comparison between them:
| XLP 514 / 516 | XLP 604 / 605 / 606 | |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Versatile all-rounder | Heavy-duty, high-throughput |
| Max Speed | 200mm/s | 400mm/s |
| Max Resolution | 600 dpi (514 only) | 300 dpi |
| Ribbon Capacity | Standard | Up to 600m |
| Print Head | Standard | Near-edge, high-performance |
| Buyer Profile | Broader range of applications | High-volume production environments |
Excellent Print Quality - Thermal transfer or direct thermal printing at 300 dpi delivers consistently sharp barcodes, text and graphics. Easy-to-use ribbon mandrels maintain stable ribbon tension throughout the roll for reliable print results across every job.
High-Speed Performance - The XLP 600 series prints at speeds of up to 400mm/s — significantly faster than comparable industrial label printers — making it the right choice for high-volume production lines where throughput cannot be compromised.
Maximum Uptime - A ribbon roll capacity of up to 600 metres reduces the frequency of roll changes and the downtime that goes with them. A large viewing window lets operators monitor label and ribbon levels at a glance, so roll changes are planned rather than reactive.
Ribbon-Save Function - The intelligent ribbon-save mechanism lifts the print head automatically in print-free areas, using ribbon only where it's needed. The result is significantly reduced ribbon consumption, lower running costs and less waste — with the added benefit of extended print head life.
Robust & Durable - Built around a sturdy metal frame with high-quality internal components, the XLP 600 series has been designed for the demands of industrial environments. Long service life is backed by Novexx's warranty programme, fulfilled by ALS in the UK.
Tool-Free Maintenance - The open print module design makes cleaning straightforward and all wear parts, including the print head, can be replaced without tools. This keeps maintenance fast, simple and accessible to any operator.
Automated Settings - Smart, continuous, ribbon tension and automatic setting of print head parameters, including pressure and contrast, remove the need for manual adjustment and help maintain consistent print quality without operator intervention.
Digital Interfaces & Industry 4.0 Ready - The XLP 600 series supports a multitude of connectivity options for modern production environments: LAN interface, USB, configurable M12 I/O connectors and a built-in web interface for remote monitoring, control and servicing from any device. Operating instructions are accessible via QR code directly on the machine.
Configurable to Your Requirements - Available in 4" (106mm), 5" (127mm) and 6" (160mm) print widths, with a choice of displays and a range of optional accessories such as; cutters, rewinders, dispensers and applicator modules, so the XLP 600 printers can be configured to suit product, carton or pallet labelling applications across a wide range of industries.
