Vivo! High Speed Digital Color Label Printer
The Vivo! is the high-volume, photo-quality digital color label printer manufacturers and processors use  to print their own custom product labels in-house, in moderate to large quantities. Vivo! users print labels on-demand, according to sales and production requirements. Many companies require the high-speed, instant availability of the “right label at the right time” to label their products on-demand. The Vivo!’s plateless label printing is a quick and affordable way to make labels for every product, with the right graphics, text, and barcodes, and also to package products for private label sales, to label custom formulations, to make foreign language labels for sales to export markets, and to label special product versions.

More about the Vivo!:
 Vivo! Print Technology
The Vivo! is an electrophotographic printer, similar to a laser printer. The advantage of this label printing technology is that it quickly produces finished labels which are ready to be used. The Vivo! label printer digitally produces large quantities of custom labels fast, printing any label artwork on virtually any die-cut label shape. Vivo!-printed labels are colorfast and resist fading from UV light exposure, scratching due to abrasion, and bleeding due to exposure to water and some solvents.
The Vivo! printing process begins when a roll of blank label material is loaded onto its feeder. Then, the Vivo!’s four image drums transfer its cyan, magenta, yellow, and black colored toner onto the surface of the label material according to the pixels in the digital label file. The label material is continuously moved through the printer by its transfer belt. As the label material carrying the deposited toner reaches the Vivo!’s heated fuser, the toner is melted and fused to the label material, composing the printed label image. When printed labels emerge from the Vivo!, they are completely dry and finished.

How fast is the Vivo!? How many labels can it print?
The Vivo! prints labels in 600 dpi resolution at up to 3 linear inches per second. The number of labels the Vivo! can print per hour varies with the size of the label. For example, the Vivo! prints 39.6 labels per minute at the 3" x 4" (76mm x 102mm) size. That is 2,376 labels per hour. In an 8-hour shift, the Vivo! can print 19,008 labels.
Some Vivo! owners print labels throughout a multi-shift day, while others print labels only a few times a week. Whenever label printing takes place, the Vivo!’s high-speed digital label printing will keep pace with fast production lines and quick turnaround times.

How do manufacturers earn money with the Vivo!?
Manufacturers find they can make more money with the Vivo! by printing differentiated, photo-quality labels for each product, by making custom labels available to sell products under private label, by making custom labels to package custom-formulated products, by making personalized labels to sell products as gifts and promotional items, and by making foreign language labels to sell into export markets.
Vivo! owners save money by producing their labels in more efficient, smaller-quantity print runs, that correspond to actual product shipments. This allows them to avoid holding labels in inventory, and also gives them in-house control over production and quality.
With the Vivo!’s high-speed label printing, Vivo! owners can ship faster because they are never more than a few hours away from having labeled products.
For many businesses, Vivo!-printed labels will augment the purchase of labels from traditional label presses. In others, the Vivo! will be the only label printer necessary.

What kind of labels and inks does the Vivo! use?
The Vivo! prints on paper and synthetic label materials with that are capable of withstanding the Vivo!’s high fusing temperature. Vivo! labels may be glossy or matte, opaque or transparent. The Vivo! prints on die-cut label shapes as well as on continuous label material that can be die-cut in a secondary finishing process.
The Vivo! uses unique inks, which include high-temperature Vivo! toner ink, Vivo! image drums, Vivo! transfer belt, and Vivo! fuser. Vivo!-printed labels are among the most permanent printed labels on the market, even without lamination. Vivo! toner won't fade, scratch, or run when exposed to UV light, moisture, average abrasion, and many solvents.
Vivo! customers purchase printing supplies directly from their personal QuickLabel Media Product Specialist.

Vivo! Accessories
- QuickPeel Matrix Removal System:

|
Labels emerge from the Vivo! ready dry, colorfast, and ready to apply. Die-cut labels that are not printed “full-bleed” can be immediately loaded onto a label applicator.
In the case of “full-bleed labels” (labels that are printed from edge-to-edge on the label shape) the label matrix is left in place around the die-cut label shape in order to absorb stray toner that might harm the printer. The die-cut labels can be easily peeled away from this matrix by hand, or by using the QuickPeel System for fast, automated removal of this excess matrix.
The QuickPeel System is composed of two units, a “dual rewinder” unit that peels the matrix away from the die-cut labels while neatly winding the matrix onto a core for disposal, and a second “single rewinder” unit that simultaneously rewinds the finished labels onto a roll, ready for use on a label applicator
- Label Rewinder:
The Vivo! is used with a simple label rewinder that automatically rewinds labels onto a roll as they exit the Vivo!. Finished, printed label rolls are ready to be loaded onto a label applicator or label dispenser.
