Maxatec Launches TPG’s Next Generation POS Printers, Offering Performance with Reliability and Low Price

23rd January 2008

Maxatec launches Transaction Printer Group’s (TPG), a leading provider of point-of-sale printing solutions, latest line of single station thermal receipt printers, Models A798 & A799 in UK and Europe. Unlike other models in their class, the A798 & A799 share a steel frame modular design that creates the strongest printers ever made by TPG and allows for flexible manufacturing. As a result, TPG customers get faster delivery and the best price/performance value in POS printers.

Andrea Percival, director of Maxatec said: “The next generation of TPG’s single station printers are already recognised in the industry for their quality, reliability and performance and we believe that TPG’s reputation will grow in line with our burgeoning business.”

These new single station printers run at top-of-class speeds, with the industry-leading durability which has built TPG’s reputation for ruggedness and reliability. These printers are ideally suited for high-volume printing, such as specialty retail, convenience, and hospitality applications. A798 & A799 were designed with the actual POS environment in mind, having features such as an easy-opening cover with drop-in paper loading and a spill resistant cabinet design.

“With print speeds up to 250 mm/sec for the A799, these new printers are incredibly fast, reducing transaction time and improving the customer’s point-of-sale experience.” said Clif Gatehouse, Vice President of Sales for Cognitive/TPG. “They are also backed by one of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry, with 2-year coverage on A798 and 3-year coverage for A799.”

These models set a new standard for ease of installation. Compatibility with previous TPG models and competitive brands was a major design consideration, and the new installation CD allows for ultra fast basic installation or a choice of sophisticated features settings.
