March 19th, 2007

EPSON has launched its new TM-C100 and TM-C100ASF ticket printers in the Middle East, offering completely new commercial and industrial colour printing sectors a cost-effective and reliable solution for a virtually unlimited range of printing applications.

Using established EPSON SEAJet printing technology and a wide variety of printable media, the EPSON TM-C100 prints graphics, images and barcodes on paper rolls while the EPSON TM-C100ASF version featuring an automatic cut sheet feeder easily produces a series of high-quality, full-colour tickets, business cards, invitations, vouchers, coupons, gift cards, adhesive labels, store cards or price tags that can be printed on envelopes, store cards and even stiff cardboard up to 220 gram per square metre (g/m2) weight.

Khalil El-Dalu, General Manager, EPSON Middle East said: "With the TM-C100, EPSON provides a printer hitherto unavailable in this design. It is suitable for an extremely varied range of applications which is increasing on a daily basis. It is small, robust and particularly versatile. Thus, it can be deployed successfully at the point of sale as well as in a dusty workshop."

The EPSON TM-C100 is a flexible device that can print on paper rolls weighing from 52.3 to 200 g/m2 with a width of 45 mm to 105 mm while the robust, low-priced EPSON TM-C100ASF can print envelopes, labels, store cards and cardboard between 55 mm to 135 mm wide and 85 mm to 210 mm long with paper weights from 64 up to 220 g/m2.

An integrated "full-cut" paper cutter gives a quality finish after the EPSON TM-C100 has performed its work at up to 35 mm/s in high-speed mode, making a broad range of applications available in trade, industry and the service sector, from price tags featuring a 2D barcode to admission tickets. It can also print durable adhesive labels which can be cut to any length seamlessly using the integrated paper cutter.

The small, industrious device applies pigmented, water-resistant, instantly drying inks at resolution of up to 360 x 360 dpi to paper using established SEAJet (Static Electronic Actuator) technology, ensuring that every colour spot comprises up to four colours, and yielding quality that's suficient enough for even printing photos.

The easily replaceable CMYK ink cartridges feature capacity of approximately 660 tickets which allows even the smallest series of store cards to be personalised with a photo at anytime and anyplace. The TM-C100's minimal footprint of 210 x 108 mm allows its integration in every environment.

Similarly, the EPSON TM-C100's integrated USB interface facilitates its use while the supplied Windows printer drivers ensure its easy integration in every environment and an OPoS-ADK interface provides the suitable connection to existing PoS applications.

"The EPSON TM-C100 is an ideal PoS printer not only for printing receipts but also for transport services, pharmacies, event organisers, dance clubs, theatres, libraries, museums, video stores, florists as well as all retailers that want to produce a series of colourful tickets and labels offering additional value to their customers," El-Dalu concluded.
