Pressdown Introduces Rapid X1 Label Printer

Pressdown Services (PDS) becomes the Canadian master distributor for the Rapid X1 label printer and the Eclipse finishing system.


The Rapid X1, which employs Memjet print-head technology, features a top printing speed of 60 feet per minute, while producing a 1,600 x 1,600-dpi resolution. The 5-colour roll-to-roll system has an 8.5-inch printing width and a 12-inch OD unwind and rewind capacity. It also includes an optical sensor for pre-cut and stripped labels.

PDS is now carrying the Eclipse finishing system, which can be integrated with the Rapid X1 printer. The Eclipse features lamination, contour cutting, waste removal and a slitter in a single device.
