Toshiba America Business Solutions’ announced the Duplex Linerless Thermal Printer (DL1024), which it says reduces costs and boosts productivity while helping organisations meet the demand for more sustainable printing solutions.
Toshiba’s Duplex Linerless Thermal Printer simultaneously prints on both sides of a label without using a liner or backing material. Such ingenuity eliminates the plastic pouch and additional packing slip without producing any label liner waste enabling organisations to function more sustainably.
Utilising the Premier Print & Services Group’s Linerless DuplexPackSlip label, Toshiba’s Duplex Thermal Printer reduces up to 40% of labeling costs, the company said.
Delivering up to 24 labels per minute while featuring a considerable 3,000-label roll capacity, the Duplex Thermal Printer further enhances efficiency by reducing downtime with fewer label roll changes. Crisp and clear labelling is also a snap considering the system’s near-edge printhead design and 203 dots-per-inch resolution.
Moreover, a vibrant and intuitive 10.1-inch LCD touchscreen control panel creates an even better user experience for logistics personnel. Touting ruggedized components throughout its stout design, Toshiba’s Duplex Thermal Printer also withstands the harsh conditions many warehouses and distribution centres present.
“Toshiba’s DL1024 Duplex Linerless Thermal Printer is a first-of-its-kind industrial printer streamlining both hand and auto-apply applications,” stated Toshiba America Business Solutions Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Business Development Bill Melo. “As the first and only duplex linerless thermal printer on the market, our aim is to help logistics companies improve throughput and reduce total operating costs while also lessening environmental impact.”
The printer is also available in a print-and-apply configuration from Panther, a ProMach product brand. This system deploys the company’s all-electric, servo-driven tamp applicator creating a fully automatic solution for more proficient operations. The printer additionally streamlines the distribution and fulfilment process while increasing efficiency by automatically applying both a shipping label and a packing list in a single application.
The Duplex Linerless Thermal Printer is now available for purchase through authorised Toshiba resellers at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $9,000 (€8,500).
