Since the introduction of the M-Class
line, countless users have discovered the benefits of
incorporating a sturdy, well-designed printer into
mid-volume, high-performance printing applications. Users in
the medical, manufacturing, government, retail and food
processing sectors have embraced the M-Class, making it the
most successful mid-range printer available on the thermal
printer market today. The M-Class design is based on
elements borrowed from the industry-leading Datamax I-Class
printers, featuring a die-cast aluminum chassis to enhance
durability and performance. The compact, modular design
enables high-performance printing while allowing users to
allocate less space to their printing capabilities. The
M-Class features a robust option set – including thermal
transfer, internal rewind, cutter, and peel and present –
allowing compliance with the most demanding applications,
and a value that goes far beyond what most users expect when
budgeting for printer purchases.
