Easy loading for compact panel printer
A new panel printer from Trident offers a combination of high performance operation and compact footprint in a single, cost effective package.
The important feature to look for is a straight paper path, and the LTPV range is the only thermal printer set with both easy paper loading and a straight paper path.
There are two sizes - 80 and 112mm paper width - both giving fast printing at around 85mm/s.
The LTPV printers and their sister mechanisms in the other 'easy operation' series are the latest mechanisms from Seiko, generally credited with the invention of thermal printing.
The easy operating principle has a separate platen (feed) roller, that is intended to be housed in a lid or cover.
When the paper has been dropped in place, this lid or cover can be closed and the feed roller engages with the mechanism.
Seiko's design intentionally allows for fairly poor moulding tolerances in plastic housing components without compromising printing consistency or wear on the mechanical components.
