The Soabar DTQ 2-colour double sided thermal transfer label printer is our high end, industrial label printing solution.
The DTQ series benefits from having two printheads, one located on each side of the label to allow printing of shorter labels with more information.
The DTQ comes in two different models- one boasting a 4″ print width at 300dpi. Speeds of up to 150mm per second are reached.
The other option is our DTQ 2″ width for narrower label printing, where the print resolution is a high 600dpi and speeds of 100mm/s are reached.
Both DTQ printers offer an impressive 10″ material roll diameter and up to 450m ink ribbon capacity, therefore reducing downtime caused by changing the materials.
Labels on both printers are guided through in a centred position, which results in precise print images.
Ribbon saving is automated which significantly reduces running costs, as does the function to heat specific print heads in isolation.
The DTQ series printer also offers a range of attachments including a cutter, cutter stacker or rewind unit. The cutter stacker allows the cutting of your material into a single label, making for a smooth and efficient application.

We supply all of our printers with a basic labelling software so you can design and print labels. Additional software is available if you require database linking or a label management solution.
On site installation and training to any UK address. For our international customers we offer a remote installation and training session.
With 12 months on-site warranty as standard you can be sure your printer will be running when you need it the most.
Our technical support team are here to help with any queries or questions you may have throughout the life of your printer.

You should consider the size of the labels that you want to print, how many of them you will be printing each week and the end use of the label. We have created a handy blog post and table that will help to point you in the right direction, or you could try and use our Quote Calculator to give you an idea too.
Yes you can! However, how many colours depends on the type of printer that you have. Most printers that we sell are single colour (for example the 1Pro Series and the 2S Series), so you can swap the colour of the ink each time a different colour is desired. Or there are two fixed-colour printers (e.g. the DCQ and the DTQ) which work on the same principle. If you are looking for full colour printing, then choose one of our inkjet printers such as the Epson CW8000e.
At Soabar we don’t just sell you a label printing machine. Unlike most other companies, we provide you with the whole package to not only get you up and running, but to also ensure that you can keep on printing labels for years to come. All of our machines come inclusive of set-up and installation costs, in-person training (if desired) on how to use the machine and a full year’s warranty. You can see what this includes here. For most of our new customers, their experience of fixing, servicing and maintaining a label printer is limited. Therefore, having us on hand to be able to resolve any problem that might arise is crucial to their business operating smoothly on a day to day basis.
The average lifespan of a machine varies depending on the condition that it is kept in, how regularly it is serviced and the materials being ran through it. Many of our customers have had their Soabar Label Printer for way over 10 years before they even need to think about replacing it for a new one! However, the standard measure that we say is that after around 30,000m of labels printed, it’s worth thinking about getting a new one.
Most of our printers come with basic label printing software, however this might not be suitable for all your business needs. Additionally, there are some printers that will require software to be purchased at an extra cost. Navigate to each printer page to find out the information specific to the printer you are looking at.
This will largely depend on the quantity of labels that you require and complexity of your label design. If you are going to be printing high volumes of labels and require full colour printing with quick turnaround times, then it will likely be worth speaking to us about the benefits of buying a label printer to print your own in-house.
Yes you can! Either navigate to our Supplies page to browse our range, or if you have purchased materials from us before, then just contact us to let us know what it is that you require.
