New 6" thermal transfer printers from TSC provide a number of extras at a low price

TSC Auto ID Technology introduces a new line of 6" thermal label printers to the market (TTP-268M/366M) in the first quarter of 2011 - at a price well below that of the competition. In particular the high-resolution, 300 dpi TTP-366M achieves a printing speed of six ips and is so as powerful as the usually more expensive high-end devices of leading manufacturers. The TTP-366M is ideally suitable for 2D barcodes, for small print and for graphics printing.

Many sectors, including industry, logistics and agriculture, today require wide labels with a size of six inches (15.24 centimetres). Since the print also has to remain legible under the most varied weather conditions, very high-resolution and simultaneously powerful thermal transfer printers are required. The high price of the usually high-end devices is, however, a barrier for many potential customers.

With the TTP-366M, TSC is launching an extremely powerful 6" thermal transfer printer on the market which offers high resolution, a printing speed of 6 ips and an affordable price. The TTP-366M is above all suitable for demanding applications in which 2D barcodes, small print or graphics printing are required. Its "little brother in the line, the TTP-268M, prints with a resolution of 203 dpi at a speed of 8 ips.

Rugged and easy to operate
The die-cast aluminium housing of the TTP-268M/366M line flips open easily and thus allows material to be installed easily. Label roll, print head and platen roll can be replaced in seconds. The pressure of the print head can be altered using three user-friendly rotary knobs. Label rolls with an outer diameter of up to 208 millimetres can be used. The ribbon length is 450 metres.
