Compuprint another feather in PDC's cap

Johannesburg, 03 Feb 2011

The Printer Distribution Company (PDC) has teamed up with Compuprint as the official distributor of its range of scanners and printers in southern Africa. In addition to being acknowledged internationally as a premium brand for demanding functions, Compuprint has gained recognition as the engine manufacturer of the technology required for operating the IBM 4247.

The company's dot matrix and bank transactional printers boast unique features such as horizontal magnetic stripes, high decoding reliability and a set of native commands for Windows applications.

“Compuprint fits in well with our existing product family,” says Rodney Bartman, CEO of PDC. “We were looking for a high-end range of dot matrix systems and they complement our current offering perfectly. We're also particularly pleased with its ability to mesh with the requirements of the IBM 4247 market.”

Focusing on efficiency, with speeds ranging from 330 to 460 lines per minute, Compuprint is ideally suited for transactional applications and various financial services. Recognising the financial service sector's need for efficiency, clarity and error-free security, Compuprint has applied its 30 years of experience in the IT industry to design a range of solutions tailored for this market. The SP40, in particular, was specifically designed for this purpose, with high-speed colour scanning, magnetic strip reader/writer and magnetic ink character recognition.

PDC's 15 years of industry experience works hand-in-hand with this approach to ensure smooth installation and reliable back-up. PDC continues to extend its range to provide a comprehensive basket of printing solutions. In addition to Compuprint, it is distributor of Printronix, OKI, AMT Datasouth, Microplex, Tally Genicom, Psion Teklogix and Denso (TTID).

“We see this partnership as a positive step towards achieving our goal to be the most comprehensive provider of printing solutions to the industrial, commercial and logistics sectors,” Bartman concludes.
