April, 2009 – Maxatec is all set to launch CognitiveTPGs new Kiosk printers, the K798 and K799, as part of its drive into the retail, self-checkout, healthcare, hospitality and banking self-service applications markets.
Andrea Percival, director of Maxa Technologies said: “The self-service sector is starting to take-off and the launch of these kiosk printers will take us into a different and very relevant market.
The K798 and K799 thermal printers incorporate the same platform technology as the Cognitive A798/A799 Point of Sale receipt printers.
The kiosk printers feature an exclusive full-steel modular frame to withstand the harshest environments and facilitate kiosk construction and maintenance. Its compact clamshell design provides significant design flexibility and access to common areas required for media loading and maintenance. This ensures easier integration in retail, self-checkout, healthcare, hospitality, and banking self-service applications.
Exclusive to the kiosk printer market, the K798/K799 feature a self sharpening rotary ceramic auto-cutter knife with a minimum service life of 2.3 million knife cuts, which is 50% longer then many existing offerings. Combined with a 200 kilometres (7.8 million inches) print head, the printers deliver excellent performance and reliability.
CognitiveTPG has designed a printer mechanism that can work in a kiosk application as well as its single station point of sale unit. These state-of-the-art kiosk printers support Monochrome -K798- and Two-Color/Monochrome-K799- print technology. Ultra-sharp 203 dpi print resolution and outstanding print speeds (150 mm/sec for K798 or 250 mm/sec for K799) give these printers an unsurpassed level of performance.
