Compact 8.5kg marking system delivers on-demand, waste-saving MultiCard printing for panel shops, field service and small-scale automation workshops

Weidmüller, a global leader in industrial connectivity, marking and automation solutions, today unveiled its all-new PrintJet MINI, a compact, transportable UV inkjet industrial printer engineered to streamline on-site and workshop electrical component labeling. Designed to fill the market gap between stationary high-volume industrial printers and basic desktop marking devices, the portable unit enables technicians and panel builders to print custom cable markers, terminal tags and equipment labels anywhere on demand, without bulky fixed equipment or pre-printed blank card stock waste.

Weighing only 8.5 kg with footprint dimensions of 540 mm × 330 mm × 190 mm, the PrintJet MINI features an ergonomic streamlined chassis small enough to fit onto workbenches, service vans and field maintenance tool stations; an optional protective transport carry case supports safe relocation between production lines, construction sites and customer field locations. Unlike traditional marking printers that require full sheet card feeding, the UV inkjet technology allows single-marker targeted printing, cutting unused label waste and lowering long-term material costs for low-to-medium volume marking workflows (1–30 markers per day). Equipped with a built-in color touchscreen, Wi-Fi, LAN and USB connectivity, the printer seamlessly syncs with Weidmüller’s industry-standard M-Print® PRO labeling software, supporting one-click data import from CAD, PLC and ERP systems to eliminate manual data entry errors.

Its industrial-grade UV curing ink delivers smudge-proof, chemical-resistant print output compliant with IEC 60204-1 global electrical marking standards, compatible with Weidmüller’s full MultiCard portfolio including terminal markers, shrink sleeve labels, adhesive cable tags and control cabinet identification plates. Built-in self-diagnostic functions continuously monitor ink levels, print head status and operating temperature, while over-the-air firmware updates maintain long-term operational stability. The robust dust-resistant housing withstands typical workshop contaminants including metal shavings, lubricants and light moisture, making it suitable for mechanical manufacturing, energy panel assembly, building automation and on-site electrical commissioning teams.

“Many small panel builders and field service teams struggle with rigid, large-format industrial printers that cannot move alongside mobile workflows, while low-end desktop printers fail to meet industrial durability and compliance standards,” said Martin Hess, Global Product Manager for Marking Systems at Weidmüller. “The PrintJet MINI bridges this divide by packing professional industrial marking performance into a fully portable form factor. Users no longer need to pre-produce hundreds of labels in advance or rely on inaccurate hand marking; they can generate precise, traceable component identifiers right at the installation point, accelerating project lead times and improving workshop sustainability through reduced material waste.”

Beyond core cabinet wiring labeling, the PrintJet MINI serves diverse vertical applications including renewable energy equipment marking, machinery OEM spare part tagging, water treatment control panel identification and railway electrical maintenance. As part of Weidmüller’s systematic marking ecosystem, the portable printer integrates perfectly with the brand’s terminal blocks, cable accessories and digital workflow tools, delivering a unified traceability solution for smart manufacturing and industrial servicing operations worldwide.
