Printronix printing solutions, recognised the world over for the quality and value they offer, have been enhanced with the addition of the P8000 Cartridge Printer series. Available locally through specialist distributor The Printer Distribution Company (PDC), this new product offers PDC's clients even more options to ensure all their printing needs are met.
While laser printers offer their own unique benefits, line matrix printing technology is ideal in the industrial environments for which the P8000 was designed. Line matrix is designed for users in the manufacturing, distribution and logistics, government, banking, and automotive industries who need to print invoices, shipment and transportation documentation, bank statements, and product compliance labels in the most cost-effective way, and is still a mainstay solution, recognised as a flexible technology with improved user experience, local language functionality and operational efficiencies.
"Decision-makers in these industries will value this new series, whether they are replacing installed legacy printers or embracing line matrix technology to reduce printing costs," says Frikkie Koegelenberg, Chief Commercial Officer at PDC. "With new flexible designs, adaptable functionality and manageable savings, the P8000 series proves again that line matrix is the most competitive technology for industrial environments. Users can expect maximum uptime, low total cost of ownership, a small footprint and reduced noise from the P8000."
He adds that matrix cartridge printers offer significant benefits over laser printers, realised through energy savings, cost per page, reliability in industrial environments and media flexibility spanning multi-part forms, oversize media, peel-off labels and card stock. "Every aspect of the line matrix printer is designed to deliver higher reliability, 24/7 productivity, faster throughput, and greater resistance to rough handling and hazardous environmental conditions. In addition to energy savings and substantially lower consumables cost, line matrix printers also have a much longer life cycle than laser printers. When you factor all these elements together, line matrix printers provide a substantially lower total cost of ownership over the life of the product."
The P8000 series features a broader selection of models, with the introduction of a Tabletop Printer and updates to Printronix's popular Open Pedestal printer. Companies that require multiple-part forms will welcome PowerPrint, a new feature that delivers improved print quality with increased clarity and print darkness by increasing impact energy.
In addition, new modular enclosures improve reliability and occupy a smaller footprint while delivering location and installation flexibility. Keeping pace with today's technology is easy with new USB 2.0 connectivity, a larger LCD screen and intuitive menu navigation system included as standard features.
"In a world of expensive-to-maintain laser printers, line matrix cartridge printing offers technologically superior relief. With the new P8000 series, Printronix pioneers innovations to make line matrix printing more competitive than ever. With its flexible design, adaptable functionality and its lower cost, it's a perfect solution for companies looking for a practical option," Koegelenberg says. "From
its backward-compatible cartridge ribbon that reduces inventory management costs as well as ordering and installation confusion, to its remote diagnostics, the P8000 is a smart purchase. In addition, users save even more money through improved energy efficiency that lowers idle power consumption and boosts operating efficiency."
