Brady i7500 Industrial RFID Printer UK

Engineered for high value industrial, aerospace, defence, lab, and heavy plant identification, the Brady i7500 eliminates wasted calibration labels completely. Its smart chip LabelSense architecture auto calibrates on the very first tag, crucial when encoding specialist chemical resistant synthetic labels and thick foam backed on-metal UHF RFID tags up to 2.0 mm thick.

BUILT FOR EXPENSIVE SPECIALIST RFID MEDIA

Stop Wasting Costly Tags per Roll Changeover with First Label RFID Calibration

Traditional industrial printers often feed three to six blank tags every time an operator swaps rolls or cycles power, an expensive frustration when using specialist on-metal UHF transponders. The Brady i7500's LabelSense chip sets sensor gain, heat, and RF position automatically before a single tag advances.

CHEMICAL, SOLVENT & OUTDOOR SURVIVAL

Pair High Density 600 dpi Print with Brady Harsh Environment Media

Where standard paper labels peel or fade within weeks on hydraulic plant, marine gear, or laboratory autoclaves, Brady polyester, metallised, and foam backed RFID materials keep barcodes and EPC chips readable for years.

TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

i7500 RFID Buyer & Engineering FAQs

How thick an on-metal RFID tag can the Brady i7500 print and encode?

The RFID enabled Brady i7500 prints and encodes flexible on-metal UHF tags up to 2.0 mm thick while maintaining crisp 300 or 600 dpi thermal transfer print quality.

Are we locked exclusively into smart chip rolls on the i7500?

No. Standard i7500 models include LabelSense for zero waste automatic setup on Brady smart rolls while also supporting manual/open core media when needed.

Can operators swap between 300 dpi and 600 dpi printheads themselves?

Yes, the i7500 features tool free snap in printheads that auto configure on boot, ideal if you print both large shipping tags and miniature PCB labels.
