Weidmuller Releases a Compact and Portable Industrial Printer

Weidmuller USA has introduced the PrintJet MINI, a compact UV-ink industrial printer designed for panel building and industrial labeling applications. The printer targets users needing a portable marking system for low- to medium-volume printing while maintaining compatibility with industrial MultiCard labeling workflows.

The PrintJet MINI is designed for applications requiring roughly 1 to 30 MultiCards per day and focuses on portability, simplified operation, and flexible marker handling. According to Weidmuller, the system allows users to print only the markers needed, rather than entire label cards, helping reduce waste while simplifying field and shop-floor labeling tasks.

Compact Design Targets Mobile Labeling Applications

Weidmuller designed the PrintJet MINI industrial printer around portability and smaller workspace requirements as the printer weighs only 8.5 kg and measures 330 mm wide by 540 mm long. This compact, lightweight design makes the printer significantly easier to carry between workstations, field locations, or production areas compared to larger industrial labeling systems.

The system uses UV inkjet technology with a maximum print resolution of 600 DPI and supports both USB and LAN connectivity. Printing speed is rated at roughly 90 seconds per MultiCard. The PrintJet MINI will feature a transparent orange front cover that allows operators to monitor the printing process while the integrated 5-inch color touchscreen provides access to printer status, ink levels, and job information without requiring a separate PC interface during operation.

Flexible Marker Handling Reduces Material Waste

Weidmuller designed the PrintJet MINI to be able to print individual markers, half MultiCards, or full MultiCards. depending on the application. When building a panel, technicians may only need a handful of markers from a larger card, which can leave unused labels wasted. The PrinJet MINI, however, handles smaller print jobs efficiently by allowing users to print only the markers required. The printer also includes an automatic slide-out insertion system intended to simplify MultiCard loading during repeated daily use.

The PrintJet MINI runs through Weidmuller’s M-Print PRO software platform and supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 environments. Jobs can also be executed directly from USB storage or temporary onboard memory without requiring a constant PC connection.

Built for Daily Industrial Use

Although the PrintJet MINI focuses on portability, Weidmuller designed it for regular industrial use rather than occasional office labeling. The printer uses cartridge-based UV ink technology and is designed for low-maintenance operation in panel shops and industrial production environments.

The printer supports ambient operating temperatures from 18°C to 30°C with humidity ranges between 10% and 80% non-condensing. Included accessories consist of power supplies, USB and Ethernet cables, starter MultiCards, and regional plug options.

The PrintJet MINI gives Weidmuller a smaller, more portable option for industrial labeling without taking away the features panel builders still need day to day. Between the compact footprint, ability to print individual markers instead of full cards, onboard operation, and UV-ink durability, the system is aimed at making labeling work faster and easier, whether it’s happening in the panel shop or directly out in the field.
