Following her appointment as President of Microplex Printware Corporation (USA) in June, Julie Royon visited Microplex’s headquarters in Varel, Germany, for a productive week of strategic planning and collaboration. The focus was on aligning our joint sales and marketing strategies, strengthening partnerships across the US and South America, and identifying new opportunities for growth. The visit also marked an important milestone with the first Board meetings, helping to shape the next chapter of Microplex’s development. A valuable week of shared perspectives, clear priorities, and a common vision for the future. One team. Shared goals. New opportunities. Looking forward to continued […]…continue

This week we welcomed two service engineers from our UK partner Precision Peripherals Ltd for an in-depth technical training on the Microplex SOLID 45ET. The goal: building comprehensive, hands-on knowledge of the printer – from initial installation to troubleshooting, maintenance and service. Installation System configuration roubleshooting & diagnostics Maintenance & service procedures Practical hands-on training on the SOLID 45ET By strengthening our partners’ technical expertise, we help ensure reliable support, efficient service and smooth operation for customers in the field. Strong partnerships. Strong technical expertise. Reliable solutions Request now!…continue

Keep Your Applications. Replace Your Printer. Automotive production environments rarely rely on a single printer language. Over the years, production lines have grown, suppliers have changed, and new applications have been added – resulting in a mix of PCL5, IGP, Labelpoint, line printer languages, and other legacy data streams that must continue to run reliably in validated production processes. Replacing a printer should never require changing proven applications. The Microplex SOLID 52A4 was designed for exactly these environments. Multi-Emulation Support Use multiple printer languages on a single device and select the required emulation individually for each print job via a […]…continue

In automotive manufacturing, success is not about new features. It is about maintaining stable, validated, and reliable processes. The SOLID T4-3 supports exactly that with the emulations that matter. IGP and PCL5 Emulation Native processing of existing automotive label streams — no application changes and no revalidation required. Labelpoint Emulation Accurate reproduction of proven layouts and positioning, especially for small labels with tight tolerances. PJL support for PCL5 and IGP Emulation Microplex printers support PJL in combination with both PCL5 and IGP — enabling print job control and configuration directly from the existing data stream. The benefit: greater compatibility with […]…continue

Keep Your Applications. Replace Your Printer. Many logiJET 40 and SOLID 40 printers have been running reliably in production for years. But every product reaches the point where long-term support becomes increasingly difficult. Maintenance kits for the logiJET 40 / SOLID 40 are no longer available. While refurbished toner cartridges can still be sourced, maintaining maximum operational reliability becomes more challenging over time. For production, logistics and automotive environments, this means one thing: Now is the right time to plan a controlled migration — before an unexpected failure forces one. The good news: The SOLID 52A4 was developed as the […]…continue

Most thermal printers are designed to understand thermal printer languages. The Microplex SOLID 45ET-1 goes much further. It is one of the very few continuous thermal printers featuring a tractor feed with encoder technology. Instead of relying on black marks or die-cut gaps for media synchronization, the integrated encoder ensures precise positioning throughout the entire print process. The result is the same accurate media control known from continuous laser printers—ideal for synchronized industrial production and logistics environments. But the real difference is hidden inside the controller. While most thermal printers only support thermal printer languages, the SOLID 45ET-1 also processes […]…continue

Loads of companies out there still decide upon GHS labelling using the old method of buying pre-printed red diamond stock and then using a plain old thermal transfer printer to put the labels together. The required hazard pictograms get printed in black, and often the unused red diamonds get covered up with a black ink overprint. Even though thats a pretty common practice its not always the best idea. According to the ECHA Guidance on Labelling and Packaging, having empty boxes on your label can confuse people because it looks like a hazard pictogram got accidentally left off. So the […]…continue

We recently welcomed Matthew Armstrong, our new Sales Engineer for North and South America, to our headquarters in Germany for an intensive application training program. The goal was not simply to learn our products, but to gain a deep understanding of the challenges our customers face in logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, automotive production, and other industrial environments. From printer integration and automation interfaces to emulations, mobile printing, and application-specific solutions, Matthew received hands-on training across the entire Microplex portfolio. This knowledge enables him to support customers in selecting the right printing technology for their processes — helping them improve efficiency, simplify […]…continue

What if the best position for the operator panel is not where the manufacturer decided it should be? In industrial environments, printers are rarely installed in ideal conditions. They are integrated into: conveyor systems packaging lines logistics workstations automated production processes That’s why the Microplex SOLID 60A3 allows the operator panel to be mounted in different positions depending on the installation layout and operator requirements. (A special Operator Panel Relocation Kit is available.) The panel can be installed at the front right side or at the rear left side of the printer, allowing optimal accessibility based on: printer orientation document […]…continue

That’s where true integration makes the difference. Conveyors, scanners, sorters – everything runs in sync. With Microplex printing solutions, your print process becomes part of that synchronization. The optional GPIO interface is fully integrated into the printer control system and managed directly by the Microplex Print Controller. Thanks to this, Microplex printers evolve from simple output devices into an active element of your automation. What makes this different with Microplex? Direct PLC communication: Microplex printers exchange signals in real time with your conveyor systems – no complex integration layers needed. Print exactly when the process requires it – for higher […]…continue
