Shop genuine Primera LX500 inks for reliable color output, dependable day-to-day printing, and consistent in-house label production. ForeFront Label Solutions supplies genuine Primera cartridges designed for the LX500, including dye and pigment options for different label materials, durability goals, and print environments.
The Primera LX500 uses a single high-yield tri-color cartridge. Primera’s official cartridge page describes the standard LX500 cartridge as a tri-color dye-based ink that includes cyan, magenta, and yellow in one cartridge, with black created by mixing those colors in process. Primera’s support guidance also says the LX500 platform has two dye options and one pigment option available across the LX printer family.
Choosing the right cartridge depends on the job. Primera’s support guidance says dye ink is generally selected when buyers want the most vibrant color output, while pigment ink is usually the better choice when stronger UV resistance and longer-life durability matter more. That makes LX500 ink selection less about the printer itself and more about the label material, storage conditions, and expected end use of the printed label.

Dye vs Pigment Ink Options
Dye ink is generally chosen for brighter, more vibrant color output, while pigment ink is usually the better fit when durability, UV resistance, and longer-life performance matter more.
Best for cartridge logic
Single Tri-Color Cartridge Workflow
The LX500 uses one tri-color cartridge rather than separate CMYK tanks, making it a straightforward fit for short-run color label printing where simple cartridge replacement matters.
