High-Resolution Infrared Laser Slide Printer – ToronPath™ SP-IR
ToronPath™ SP-IR is a high-performance infrared laser slide printer purpose-built for standard microscope slide identification in clinical and pathology laboratories. Utilizing advanced infrared laser printing technology, this slide printer produces permanent, high-resolution markings at 2500 dpi directly onto glass slides without any consumables.
The ToronPath™ SP-IR features a built-in barcode scanner, a 10.1-inch full-color LCD touchscreen, and a fully integrated operating system for stand-alone operation without an external computer. Its printed markings are resistant to xylene, alcohol, and decalcifying fluid, ensuring specimen label integrity throughout the full histological processing cycle. The ToronPath™ SP-IR slider laser printer is well-suited for laboratories seeking reliable, maintenance-free, and LIS/HIS/PACS-compatible slide identification in a compact footprint.

Theory and Method
ToronPath™ SP-IR employs infrared laser printing technology to permanently engrave identification content onto standard glass microscope slides. A precisely focused infrared laser beam with an extremely small spot size interacts with the slide's coating surface, creating high-resolution marks at 2500 dpi. This non-contact process requires no ribbons, ink, or consumables of any kind — only the slide itself.
The laser beam enables the printing of extremely fine characters, letters, symbols, barcodes, and high-resolution QR codes with exceptional clarity. Printed markings are chemically inert and resistant to xylene, alcohol, and decalcifying fluid, preserving slide identification integrity throughout staining, clearing, and long-term archiving. The integrated operating system and built-in barcode scanner allow operators to manage print jobs autonomously, with full compatibility with professional slide loading and output devices.
