BIXOLON has launched the XT6-60N, a new 6-inch industrial label printer built for manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and retail labeling needs. The model adds wider media support, faster print speeds and multiple connectivity options as large-format labels become more common.

Why it matters: - Large-format labels are becoming more important in industrial settings that need more information on each label. - The XT6-60N is aimed at high-volume label printing where speed, precision and integration into existing systems matter. - The printer expands BIXOLON’s XT6 Series with a dedicated 6-inch model for wider media applications.
