We are happy to provide you with the answers to the most frequently asked questions here.
The essential components of the PrintoLUX® process are, on the one hand, the PrintoLUX® labelling system and, on the other hand, our certified labelling materials, the water-based special ink, the pre-treatment agent and the thermosetting unit.
The following advantages are offered by working with the PrintoLUX® process:
Cost-effective production:
Small and large series can be produced cost-effectively.
Wide choice of materials:
Choice of 11 different materials (metals, foils, plastics).
Flexibility in design:
Variable content possible (e.g. text, colours, photos, graphics, barcodes, 2D codes).
Highly resistant labelling:
Industry-compatible results due to extreme chemical resistance & high abrasion resist.
Easy mounting:
The PrintoLUX® sign holder systems offer all options for label mounting (screwing, riveting, gluing or clipping).
Eco-friendly:
Water-based inks without solvents, plus no hazardous waste is produced.
As a service, we can offer formats up to 1,400 x 1,600 x 20 mm.
Our PrintoLUX® labelling systems, it looks as follows:
Our materials receive a special surface finish and are precisely matched to production with the PrintoLUX® process. Our constant quality controls ensure consistent results in terms of durability and print image.
A total of 11 materials made of metals, plastics and foils:
In addition, PA (polyamide) and PC (polycarbonate) materials from common manufacturers of control cabinet labels can be printed, e.g. Phoenix Contact, Weidmüller, Murrplastik.
The durability that can be achieved with these materials is at least as high as when the labels are printed with the original devices of the respective manufacturer.
In general, this is possible.
However, when using our own materials, we can neither guarantee a qualitative print image nor its durability. We only assume this responsibility for our certified materials.
Yes. Yes, click herefor our material data sheets.

No.
Any Windows-based software with the function to control a labelling system can access the PrintoLUX® labelling system.
We offer standard software in form of the "BarTender®-Professional-PLX-Edition" software. This is ideal for creating print data and linking databases.
Each installation of a PrintoLUX® labelling system also includes an introduction to the printing software.
Serial printing is a standard function with all PrintoLUX® labelling systems.
By using our software, information can be retrieved from databases and printed continuously.
We will be happy to discuss with you how this works for you in detail. In addition, connecting to databases is an integral part of our user training, which takes place after the system installation.
On the one hand, we can distinguish between the health risks that arise for the user when using the processes. UV-curable inks are demonstrably hazardous to health and therefore questionable as a working material. PrintoLUX® uses water-based inks, which pose no risk to users or the environment.
PrintoLUX® setzt auf wasserbasierte Tinte, die weder für Anwender noch für die Umwelt eine Gefahr darstellt.On the other hand, the processes also differ in terms of industrial durability, which can only be offered to a limited extent with UV-curing inks.
Please do not use warm or hot water as cleaning attempt. As PrintoLUX® works with water-soluble, environmentally friendly ink, spots can be washed out under running cold water. Hot water acts like a thermal hardener and sets the ink in the clothing.
In total, it performs three tasks:
If stored properly (dry, dust- and grease-free), several months.
In practice, pre-treatment is usually carried out shortly before printing.
Yes for all labels that are printed exclusively with black ink.
Yes for all labels that are printed in colour and are only exposed to sunlight (UV light) (see our corresponding tests).
No for the use of coloured labels that are exposed to UV light and moisture (rain, dew). For this situation we offer a special weathering protective foil (PrintoLUX® UVplus protective foil) which provides the necessary durability.
We offer quick solutions through:
Yes. We are already represented with our products on all continents and in over 30 countries.
Serial printing is a standard function with all PrintoLUX® labelling systems.
By using our software, information can be retrieved from databases and printed continuously.
We will be happy to discuss with you how this works for you in detail. In addition, connecting to databases is an integral part of our user training, which takes place after the system installation.
Our digital printing process is absolutely suitable for this. Codes can be generated via our software as well as printed in high resolution.
