Hengstler GmbH, a European manufacturer of industrial components including printers and cutters for banking, gas dispensing and kiosk operations, has signed an agreement to license two-sided thermal printing technology from NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR). "We at Hengstler are excited to be able to offer this innovative new printing technology to our
customers, as two-sided printing will help reduce paper consumption," said Jochen Feiler, Vice President of Hengstler's Global Business Unit Core Products.
Hengstler will demonstrate a printer using NCR's patented two-sided technology (2ST) at its booth at the KioskCom Self-Service Expo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, on April 14 and 15.
NCR claims its 2ST technology improves the efficiency of the receipt printing process by allowing simultaneous printing on both the front and back side of a receipt. "NCR's patented printing technology supports the growing demand for environmental stewardship while addressing other key business objectives such as optimizing productivity and lowering costs," said Dan Bogan, senior vice president and general manager of NCR's Consumables Division.
