What Our Customers Say
Customers across the world say that our professional equipment pays for itself by a number of means:
- Virtual elimination of label inventory and obsolete labels
- Label cost savings vs. outsourced, sheet-fed, or competitors’ inkjet printers
- Reducing time-to-market by avoiding lead-times and delays
Many customers purchase Afinia Label solutions to replace “less expensive” ones, reducing ink costs by up to 80%. Ink savings alone has many Afinia Label customers paying for a new printer within six months.
Be mindful not just of purchase price, but cost of ownership. “Less expensive” printers can become more costly when your printing volumes reach a certain point.
Retail Personalization
Custom-labeled products
Connect your brand to customers through personalized product packaging.
On-the-spot custom packaging takes a standard retail product and—with the help of a desktop label printer—relabels it in a way that gives it a personal touch. Typically, this is done by adding or replacing a prominent graphic element with a person’s name or an image. Design and color schemes can also be altered by customers as labels are created.
This type of on-demand custom packaging has presented itself as an opportunity for retail brands to maximize product interest and optimize the in-store buying experience.
Bottom-line benefits
- Longer retention of product with lasting branding effects
- Increase perceived value—over half of consumers see custom-packaged products as more valuable
- Enhance customer experiences—brand, product, and shopping
- Increase foot traffic in physical retail situations
- Combat online shopping by offering extra value in store
Memjet Technology
Providing remarkable simplicity, speed, and profitability in color printing
Memjet does not make printers. Instead, they make printers better by supplying innovative technologies and components to partners like Afinia Label. These printing technologies include blistering-fast printheads that are supported by Memjet controller chips, software, and ink.
Revolutionizing Label Printing
Memjet is changing the way businesses print. In some cases, the technology is even creating entirely new business opportunities. By enabling full-color printing at the speed of production, businesses are able to reduce or eliminate storage and shipping costs. Full-color labels can now be printed on-demand with variable data; and short runs can now be printed affordably, for a low total cost of ownership.
Waterfall Technology
Afinia Label printers feature “Waterfall” Technology. Our Memjet-powered Color Label Printers feature 70,400 jets per printhead that release an astounding 700 million ink drops per second.
It’s more energy efficient. It’s more mechanically sound. And, it’s up to eight times faster. Even faster than most black and white printers. The technology is a radical shift in printhead design. It literally changes everything and has a useful life of up to millions of inches of printed labels. Also, since the printhead is stationary with the paper moving underneath, there are less moving parts, for added speed and reliability.
Memjet & Afinia Label
Afinia Label emerged as a digital label printing system leader in 2012 when they collaborated with Memjet to co-develop a commercially-viable narrow web label printing solution. Afinia Label is now one of the largest distributors of Memjet-based label printers in the world.
Not only does Memjet technology make our L701, L801, and L901 Digital Color Label Printers—some of the fastest in their class—it also creates labels that cost up to 85% less that other inkjet label printers.

Watershield™ Technology
Enhanced durability for water-exposed labels
Watershield-printed labels are significantly more resistant to the effects of prolonged moisture exposure than conventional dye-based inkjet labels1. This makes the L801 Plus perfect for applications such as chilled beverages, foods, chemical or pharmaceutical products. This new technology also produces deeper and more neutral blacks.
Ideal for the top growing food and beverage categories2
Available in Afinia Label Printers
Watershield Technology is available in the L801 Plus and L901 Plus Color Label Printers
Enhanced Water Resistance Watershield-printed labels are much better at resisting the effects of moisture than those printed using traditional inkjet. | |
More Neutral Black Chroma Blacks and grays are more neutral in color, providing truer tones with less color tinting. | |
Safer Chemical Compositions Watershield inks carry much less severe chemical warnings than traditional inkjet, UV, solvent, or liquid toner inks. These inks are free from phthalate esters, benzophenone, bisphenol-A (BPA), HAPs – Hazardous Air Pollutants, SVHCs, heavy metals, and aromatic amines. |
