Canon has used the recent Labelexpo Americas tradeshow in Chicago as a platform to showcase its LabelStream LS2000 – Canon’s first water-based inkjet label press.

Based on innovative Canon technologies and designed for industrial-scale label printing, the LabelStream LS2000 was announced in October 2023.

The device prints CMYK plus white on self-adhesive substrates, with a new ink set designed to comply with food safety standards.

It also prints on a variety of media types such as coated and uncoated paper, and synthetic PVE, PET and PPE.

“It is ideal for any type of labels for your specific needs,” Canon USA’s Jason Koyama said at the event.

Visitors to Canon’s booth at the tradeshow also saw live label production on paper and film media on the LabelStream LS2000.
