Auto ID

Recommended printers: Printek range, Ap1300 and Ap1310 ranges

Kiosks

Embedded kiosk printers are used in self-service applications ranging from ATMs and cash dispensers to lottery and ticket machines. High-performance thermal printer mechanisms ensure fast, reliable printing even at peak times.

For outdoor environments such as petrol forecourts, a kiosk printer with a robust metal chassis provides a durable solution. For added security, specific units can automatically retract uncollected receipts and coupons.

By incorporating large capacity paper rolls even high-volume locations can provide service 24/7 with minimal maintenance.

Recommended printers: APS and Epson Kiosk printers

Labelling

Printing labels reliably on-demand is an essential function for businesses and organisations. Barcode labels enable fast, accurate tracking from stockroom to point of sale and retailers print labels for promotions and shelf-edge information.

Warning labels take many forms - communicating critical information and confirming compliance to regulations. Using a portable handheld printer they can be instantly produced and displayed on-site.

For healthcare, printing patient wristbands can alert staff instantly to specific patient needs, and labels are routinely used to identify samples and specimens.

Portable high speed thermal printers can now print removable or permanent self adhesive labels without the need to peel off the backing - these are known as linerless labels. This proprietary technology of StickABLE labels gives the flexibility to print labels, without backing, at any length.

Mobile

Mobile printers save time, increase productivity and increase customer satisfaction. Extended battery life allows hand held printers to be used on location in many organisations including field service, van sales and parking and law enforcement. For retailers, having the flexibility to create extra service points to handle extra volume at peak times will increase sales and retain customers. Thermal printers produce fast high quality graphics and barcodes whilst impact printers provide a cost effective alternative for less complex requirements.

Receipts

Whenever there is a sales transaction a receipt needs to be produced. Fast thermal printers allow retailers and hospitality outlets to keep waiting to the minimum and produce quality graphics to reinforce the brand. When multi-part receipts are required a robust impact printer is the solution.

Taxi printers

Clear and legible taxi receipts are an increasing requirement - whether driven by legislation or the desire to provide an improved customer experience. Able have specific printers dedicated to this market sector and even offer printers compatible with specific taxi meters. Easy to integrate, easy to use and with a range of mounting options, these printers operate direct from the vehicle battery to create a seamless solution.

Tickets

Automatic ticket machines are usually custom built, for venues or in-vehicle, using panel mounted printers or mechanisms. Tickets, boarding cards and security passes can be printed on-demand. Hand-held mobile printers are ideal for on-the-move fare collection and producing tickets for leisure events.
