CognitiveTPG's most popular desktop label printer, the Advantage LX (formerly known as the Blaster or Blazer), is still the preferred industry choice for mission-critical desktop printer applications. It remains a much beloved printer by both its users and our resellers.
Metal vs. Plastic
One touch will tell you that
this is not a plastic
component printer. We
understand the environment
and workload these printers
endure, which is why we use
solid metal framing, a metal
print mechanism and
components to give this
printer rugged and industrial
strength to stand up to
some of the most
challenging environments.
See why they call it the
"Printer You can Stand on."
Easy to Use, Large
Capacity, Small Footprint
CognitiveTPG’s advanced
command language (CPL) is
so easy to use that
programming it into any
application is a snap. The
printer has significant
memory to hold plenty of
fonts, graphics and other
programming. Best yet, this
rugged printer takes up very
little space.
Fits Your Needs
Advantage LX is ideal for retail, healthcare, field service, and manufacturing industries.
Rugged & Reliable
Our "Wanted Alive Contest" was held to find the oldest, operational Advantage LX printer because we know these printers have the strength to withstand the harshest environments.
