Thermal tag printer

1 October 2008 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The S12KPRINT1 thermal matrix printer from Grafoplast replaces the need for engraved tags and offers a range of printing options on materials such as PVC, polyester, ABS and polycarbonate.

The printer accommodates printing areas in widths up to 54 mm and lengths of 496 mm, with material dimensions of 80 mm and lengths of 500 mm, on thicknesses of 0,1 mm to 6 mm. Stroke thicknesses of 0,1, 0,3 and 0,5 mm can be utilised in the same print sequence and the unit prints in 11 Windows fonts.

Printing is noiseless and quick at speeds of 30 mm/second. At a high resolution of 300 dpi, clear, legible text on tags, labels or adhesive labels is ensured. The ribbons are available in black, silver and gold and are non-toxic, UV-resistant and solvent-resistant.
