Printronix T5000r Thermal Printers |
In analyzing a printer acquisition, one may hear the words "care and feeding" One should. At the minimum, one will hear it from us. The more proper phrases in the printer business is Total Cost of Ownership or TCOP, and Supplies Cost of Ownership or SCOP. Keep in mind that the printhead in a thermal printer is a customer replaceable supply item that costs from $820 list price each for a 300 dpi four inch head and up to $1,133 list price each for the eight inch version.
Buying the Printronix supplies, printheads and printers from PCI Solutions will provide a fantastic customer protection plan in regards to print head warranty.
For a customer buying thermal ribbons, printers and printheads from PCI Solutions, the printhead warranty will be 4,000,000 inches or one year from purchase.
What does the four million inches mean in terms of production? 4M inches is also 333,333 feet. The largest ribbon in the thermal market (Printronix exclusive) is 2,051 feet of ribbon per roll. The 4M warranty distance would last through 162 of those ribbon changes or a year, whichever comes first.
PCI Solutions can help you eliminate or at least minimize the hidden operational cost of print heads for your production of high volume thermal transfer bar code output.
