TSC Introduces New TTP-268M/TTP-366M Series Wide-Format Industrial Printers At Great Price Point

TSC Auto ID Technology recently announced the introduction of its new TTP-268M/TTP-366M Series of heavy-duty six-inch-format label printers, which are loaded with standard features, come with a two-year vs. one-year warranty, and are priced substantially lower than comparable wide-format industrial label printers on the market.

TTP-268M/TTP-366M Series is specifically designed for industrial applications that require high-quality wide-format thermal-transfer labels. The heavy-duty design of both label printers is ideally suited for a wide range of industrial applications, including shipping and receiving compliance labeling, inventory-control labeling, brand marketing, drum and pallet labeling, warning labels and custom signage.

Superb resolution, great warranty
The TTP-268M prints at 203 dpi at speeds up to eight inches per second, and the TTP-366M prints at 300-dpi resolution at speeds up to six inches per second, which makes it ideal for producing 2D barcodes, graphics, fine print and other ultra-high-resolution images. Both label printers can easily print wide transverse bar codes, with no need to rotate the image. As with all TSC label printers, the TTP-268/TTP-366M models come with an industry-best two-year limited warranty.

Loaded with standard features
Constructed of heavy-duty die-cast aluminum, the TTP-268M and TTP-366M are loaded with standard features not offered by other printers in their class, including a large LCD display, built-in Ethernet, a PS/2 keyboard interface, and USB 2.0, parallel and serial interfaces. An industry-standard GPIO port is available as an option.

Memory to spare
The TTP-268M/TTP-366M Series offers plenty of memory, including 32MB DRAM and 8 MB FLASH, which provides easy storage of fonts, international character sets and graphics. Both label printers also come with a secure digital (SD) FLASH memory card slot for inexpensively adding up to 4 GB of memory.

‘Out of the box' language-emulation support
The TTP-268M/TTP-366M Series printers support the most popular programming languages, "right out of the box," including Eltron and Zebra languages, making it easy to replace older installed hardware. Both printers simply translate each label format as it is received.

"We are very excited about the introduction of our TTP-268M/TTP-366M Series," said David Lundeen, vice president of sales and marketing for TSC Auto ID Technology America. "Our customers have been eager to see us expand our lineup of industrial-quality printers. With the addition of the six-inch-format TTP-268M/TTP-366M Series, we now offer a full range of high-performance industrial thermal-transfer label printers – all of them at a great price-performance value, with an exceptional two-year warranty."
