The Primera LX610 combines color label printing with a digital-cutting workflow, but the media choice depends on how you plan to use the printer. Digital cutting uses Primera-approved continuous media with an identifying smart chip. Printing on compatible pre-die-cut labels is a separate workflow and should not be confused with cutting ordinary continuous stock.
This guide explains the distinction and links to media, printer information and official compatibility guidance. Before preparing artwork or ordering a roll, confirm the media width, printable area and cutting limits for your intended workflow. Check the selected coating and ink compatibility as well as the roll configuration, and test the complete process for your application.

Two Different Media Workflows
| Workflow | Media requirements | Maximum print width |
|---|---|---|
| Digital die-cutting | Primera-approved continuous cutting media with the identifying smart chip | 4.1 inches (104 mm) |
| Pre-die-cut printing | Compatible labels already cut to shape; use the proper hub and sensing setup | 5 inches (127 mm) |
For digital cutting, Primera specifies 4.75 inch media width. The printable area is narrower than the media. Check the official LX610 specifications for supported dimensions and limits before preparing artwork.
Use Approved Media for Digital Cutting
Primera’s approved cutting media uses a smart chip to identify the roll and track the material remaining. Do not transfer a chip to ordinary continuous label stock. The liner, coating and cutting performance must be suitable for the LX610 cutting system.
Read Primera’s LX610 media guidance before choosing between digital cutting and pre-die-cut printing.
