Thermal Printer failure can have a costly impact on your business, not only does the lack of available spare parts required for repairs cause delays with repairing your printer, but also within your production and the running of your business.
We have laid out below 5 reasons why it is important to upgrade your printers when they become end of life and end of service life.

Other features may include:
Lighted, guided media pathways
Colour-coded touch points
Large colour touch display that changes colour to show printer status clearly at a glance
Dynamic QR codes that link error-specific help videos
