A 5-inch integrated touchscreen gives operators direct access to stored jobs, thumbnail previews, printer information, and maintenance features.
Resolution up to 1600 × 1600 dpi produces sharp text and barcodes, detailed graphics, and rich color. Five 250 mL CMYKK cartridges provide 1.25 liters of total ink capacity for longer production runs and low ink costs per label.

Minimize ongoing ink costs
Cost per label can be as important as printer cost when investing in a label printer. The L801 Pro helps minimize ongoing costs with efficient ink use and 1.25 liters of onboard ink capacity. Easy-access doors simplify media and ink replacement, while an optional powered rewinder supports roll-to-roll production.
Integrated Unwinder
The L801 Pro includes an integrated unwinder that accepts rolls up to 8 inches (203 mm) in outside diameter. Its steel cover helps protect media from dust and debris, and the unwinder feeds roll media consistently into the printer.
Touchscreen control and job storage
The 5-inch integrated touchscreen provides direct access to printer status, print information, stored jobs, and maintenance features. Operators can store and recall up to 30 print jobs, with thumbnail previews that make jobs easier to identify.
Easier maintenance access
Improved access to the rollers makes routine cleaning and maintenance more convenient.
Roll-to-roll label printing
A compatible rewinder allows the L801 Pro to produce finished rolls continuously. It handles label media up to 8.5 inches wide and rolls up to 8 inches in outside diameter, with face-in or face-out winding.

Memjet Waterfall Technology
The L801 Pro uses Memjet Waterfall Printhead Technology to produce full-color labels at speeds up to 60 ft/min (18 m/min). The stationary, page-wide printhead allows media to move quickly through the printer while maintaining detailed print quality.
High quality & resolution
Print resolution up to 1600 × 1600 dpi supports crisp text and barcodes, detailed graphics, and vivid color. The CMYKK ink configuration includes two black cartridges for additional capacity, strong contrast, and rich blacks.
Low cost of ownership
The L801 Pro combines high print speed, large ink capacity, and low ink costs for economical in-house label production. Request a printed sample and ink-cost analysis to evaluate print quality, material compatibility, and estimated cost per label.
