Engineered for demanding, fast-moving settings, Toshiba's cloud-enabled printing innovation delivers up to 8-inch media for standard and specialty labeling while supporting vellum, matted and glossy paper as well as synthetic and polyester film.
"Toshiba's new barcode printer provides warehouse, distribution center, horticulture and manufacturing professionals with a versatile product for producing larger labels and thicker tags on a diverse array of media," says Bill Melo, Toshiba America Business Solutions VP, marketing and strategic business development. "By easily integrating within existing fleets as well as supporting the upcoming GS1 US initiative, our printer presents industrial professionals with an ideal solution today and in the future."
