Two-Color Printer

Thermal label printers that lay down black plus a second highlight color in a single pass. Built for retail receipts, price markdowns, expiry labels, and delivery notices where one color has to stand out from the rest of the page.

Why Two-Color, Why Now

A second color is not decoration. It is the difference between a printed line item and a printed instruction that actually gets followed.

Black-and-white receipts get thrown away unread

Warning text, care instructions, and allergy notes look identical to every other line on a mono receipt, so customers skim past them.

Fix: print the one line that matters in the highlight color — it gets read.

Markdown stickers tie up working capital

Clearance and short-date labels usually mean pre-printed rolls for “50% off”, “reduced” and “quick sale” — ordered in advance, stored, and thrown away when the design changes.

Fix: one two-color roll replaces the whole shelf of pre-printed stickers, generated on demand.

Delivery and kitchen tickets get misread

Allergen alerts and time-window instructions printed in plain black are easy to miss during a rush.

Fix: urgent notes print in the highlight color on the same ticket, no extra label needed.

What Two-Color Printing Changes

The JNX612 lays down black plus one highlight color in a single pass on 2-inch (56 mm) media at 300 dpi. The value is not the extra color by itself — it is that the one line a customer has to act on stops looking like every other line.

Retail receipts and shelf-edge marks

A highlighted total, return window or promotion line stays legible after the receipt has been folded into a pocket. No new terminal, no new software — only the roll changes.

Markdown and short-date labels

Clearance pricing and date codes no longer need a shelf of pre-printed rolls. One two-color roll covers the whole markdown cycle, generated on demand at 300 dpi, which keeps working capital off the sticker shelf.

Kitchen, delivery and care labels

Allergen alerts, time windows and care instructions print in the highlight color on the same ticket. No second label, no extra pass, no additional device on the counter.

Common Questions

Does two-color printing change the media we buy?

Two-color output comes from the printer's direct thermal engine, so it is worth confirming the matching two-color media before you commit to a roll. Send us the labels or receipts you run today and we will specify the stock.

How fast does it run compared with a mono 2-inch printer?

The second color is laid down in the same pass, at up to 6 ips (150 mm/s). Throughput and roll handling stay in the same class as a single-color 2-inch desktop printer.

Can one device print both receipts and labels?

The 120 mm media bin and automatic peeling handle label paper, continuous paper, black-mark media and wristbands, so counter and back-of-house output can share the same printer.

What do I need to change in our existing setup?

The JNX612 supports ZPL, TSPL and ESC programming over USB or USB plus Ethernet, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi optional. Existing label layouts usually carry across without a redevelopment project.
