"West Warwick-based Astro-Med Inc.’s QuickLabel Systems product group has released a higher-speed version of a popular short-run digital color label printer that produces at 3 inches per second, a 50-percent increase over the previous model. The printer is an electrophotographic digital system that yields photo-quality color labels on roll-fed stock, allowing printing with content including photos, graphics and barcodes. In August of last year, Astro-Med received a patent on the mechanism it invented to allow printing on continuous rollstock."
