Maxatec Launches New TSC 6 Inch Industrial Thermal Transfer Printer

ALTRINCHAM, England, March 28, 2011 - Today Maxatec (www.maxatec-europe.com/) announces the availability
of the new line of 6" thermal transfer label printers from TSC. The
price-competitive TSC TTP-268M (
www.maxatec-europe.com/models/tsc-ttp-268m/) series is powerful and
packed full of features commanding a strong position amongst more expensive
products from leading manufacturers.

Six (6) inch wide labels are often required in industries such as
agriculture and logistics, where the printed label can be subjected to harsh
conditions. The TTP-268M is available with 300 dpi (TTP-366M) to deliver high
resolution printing at an impressive 6 inches per second providing high
quality, long life labels, in addition to 2D barcode and graphic printing
capabilities.

The die-cast aluminium housing opens easily for media loading and
maintenance, with the print head and the platen roller being replaceable in
seconds. The 6 inch printers have a large memory, 32 MB DRAM and 8 MB Flash,
which can be used for fonts, symbols and graphics. In addition the printers
support industry leading emulations which makes replacing existing estates
even easier. 1D and 2D barcodes can be printed, as well as the more powerful
GS1 Databar and the printers are also suitable for wide, transverse barcodes
without the need to rotate the image.

Andrea Percival, managing director of Maxatec said: "TSC are renowned for
bringing high quality, reliable products to the market. The TTP-268M has all
the features that the leading competition have, but the pricing of the latest
TSC products bring them into a niche on their own. TSC back all of their
auto-id products with a two year guarantee, plus they are excellent at
supporting the channel whether it be technical, marketing or commercial
requirements."

Percival continued: "The TTP-268M is available in 203 or 300 dpi, with a
print speed of up to 8 ips for the 203 dpi version. Standard features include
a large LCD display, built-in Ethernet, USB 2.0, Serial and Parallel
communications as well as a PS/2 key board interface. The SD Flash memory
card slot allows users to inexpensively add up to 4 GB of additional storage
memory". Percival concluded: "Another great product from TSC and we already
have a number of large opportunities for this product even though it has only
been released this quarter."
