WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The price buys measurable capability: 360 dpi, 35mm/s printing, 36mm media, auto-rewind with a 4mm lead, Pick-and-Print, MIL-spec drop testing, three power sources and a lifetime warranty. This is the one premium machine whose engineering and consumable savings justify the step-up.

MATERIALS

ChassisHigh-impact industrial polymer

MIL-STD-810 drop-tested housing protects the mechanism in field use.

Print engine360-dpi thermal-transfer head

Produces durable, high-density text, symbols and barcodes.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A purposeful, well-balanced field tool: carry handle, front-loading cassette, backlit screen, QWERTY keyboard and optional magnetic feet. Large, but controls remain glove-friendly and legible.

LONGEVITY

Lifetime-warranty coverage and rugged construction are exceptional; standardized PX supplies remain broad. Cutter and battery are service items rather than throwaway design.
