Featuring two-color capability, new high-speed thermal print mechanisms for OEMs eliminate the need for ink, ribbon, and toner. The 2- and 3-in. FTP-602MCL101/102 mechanisms use the direct thermal print method to produce either blue and black or red and black output on two-color, thermo-sensitive paper. They offer 203-dpi resolution and a maximum speed of 460 dotlines per second. Pricing is $51.25 for the 2-in. printer and $67.50 for the 3-in. printer in 1,000-piece quantities.
