Handheld printers produce variable-width labels
The partnership between Epson and Panduit, which has produced label printers in the past, continues with the recent introduction of the MP75, MP200, and MP200-KIT handheld printers. “These industrial printers are built to meet different needs ranging from compact, entry level, economic printers to high-performing, advanced solutions,” Panduit said when announcing the new products.
“These printer solutions deliver a transformative opportunity to develop faster and more sustainable label solutions for customers in industrial and network applications,” Panduit added. “Not only do these printers contribute to an existing, robust Panduit/Epson printer solution, the cassette systems are transferable to many of the higher-end printers within the offering. New features are offered for both printer options and include varying widths, speed, and functions that provide the user with a seamless and efficient way to design and print vast label applications. The MP200 printer specifically offers an automatic cutting option as well as the capability to print through Easy-Mark Software connecting through Bluetooth.”
David Morrison, a director of business development at Panduit, commented, “The competitive printers on the market typically require pushing a spring button over and over every time you print. The MP200 is fully automated cutting, including partial cuts that you can string together.”
The MP75 is an entry-level printer that features custom label modes, a QWERTY keyboard, backlit LCD screen, and library of barcodes and custom symbols. Users can print continuous tapes up to 0.75 inches wide. It comes with a continuous label cassette and quick reference card.
The MP200 features a 1.2-inch/second print speed and a powered cutter that allows both full and half cuts. Users can print continuous tape up to 1 inch wide. The MP200 comes with a printer, continuous label cassette, and a quick reference card.
The MP200-KIT comes with a printer, continuous label cassette, hard carrying case, rechargeable battery pack, magnetic feet, USB cable, and power adapter.
