They also boast the same fast print speed of up to 220 millimeters (8.7 inches) per second, ideal for efficient label production.

The Key Difference: Linerless Labels

The CT-S601IIR is specifically designed to work with linerless labels. Unlike traditional labels with a backing paper, linerless labels are self-adhesive and don’t require a separate liner. This offers several advantages:

• Reduced Waste: No need to discard liner waste, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
• Lower Costs: Linerless labels can be more economical in the long run due to less material usage.
• Space-Saving: Linerless labels allow for tighter roll cores, enabling more labels to fit on a single roll, minimizing media changes.

Who should consider the CT-S601IIR?

• Retail Stores: Ideal for printing shelf labels, product tags, and pricing labels with self-adhesive backing.
• Food Service and Catering: Perfect for printing labels for pre-packaged food items, containers, and take-out orders, eliminating the need for separate labels and adhesive tape.
• Applications Requiring Eco-Friendly Solutions: Businesses prioritizing sustainability can benefit from the reduced waste footprint of linerless labels.
