The UNINET® IColor® 250 is a compact, full-color inkjet label printer with a built-in digital die cutter, designed for on-demand, short-run label production. Combining printing and cutting in one desktop machine, it allows businesses to create custom-shaped, professional-quality labels without purchasing a separate cutting device.
Powered by IColor® CustomCUT™ Software, the IColor® 250 supports standard label shapes, contour cutting, and a variety of design and layout tools. It offers flexible Print Only, Cut Only, and Print & Cut modes, making it suitable for producing labels, stickers, photos, cards, banners, and other customized print applications.
The printer uses a high-capacity, all-in-one ink cartridge with an integrated printhead, available in dye-based and pigment ink options. Dye-based ink delivers vibrant, full-color results, while pigment ink is designed for more durable, long-lasting, and water-resistant labels. With the ability to produce up to 3,000 labels per day, the IColor® 250 is a versatile solution for small and mid-sized businesses.
