LEWIS CENTER, Ohio — Microcom Corp., maker of specialty-use thermal printers, has announced a new printer designed specifically for kiosk applications. The 428M thermal kiosk printer offers a small footprint and affordable price without compromising performance. The 300 dpi heavy-duty-use kiosk printer can output on all types of media, including tickets, wristbands and customer loyalty cards up to 11 mils thick and at 8 inches per second. The adjustable paper guides make loading easy, and the field replaceable wear parts and reliable rotary cutter make it inexpensive to maintain. Other features include a steel construction, USB connectivity, and movable sensors that detect gaps, holes, notches and black lines.
"Since we designed the 428M to print on virtually any thermal stock, it takes the engineering challenges and costs out of integrating the printer in all types of kiosks," said Jim Larson, president and chief executive of Microcom Corp. "And best of all, our printers far exceed the industry's average for mean time between failures, promising the users years of reliability."
