Please note: There are TWO types of black ink cartridges available for the LX800/LX810 Color Label Printer: (1) dye-based black for printing on virtually all types of gloss and semi-gloss label and tag stocks, and (2) pigment-based black for superior bar code scanning and a generally higher level of water/UV resistance. Pigment-based black does not work on all brands of gloss label stock. Dye-based color ink cartridges are suitable for use on all types of media except some matte-finish plain papers label stocks. Customer testing is highly recommended before purchasing a large amount of stock or ink cartridges.

How many labels per cartridge can I print? Six example graphics of various sizes. (LX Printers)

Below are sample graphics with a table below each showing the number of labels printed from each cartridge for various popular label sizes. These values apply to LX400 / LX800 / LX810. The graphics represent a range of 40% to 95% ink coverage. You'll notice that ink consumption will vary greatly depending on the coverage percentage and the colors used. As you can see a smartly designed label such as the Coffee, Sunscreen or Wine label can use very little ink and look great.
