TO WATCH
REDUCE COSTS ON YOUR LABEL
PRINTER CONSUMABLES
Techspan Industrial Printing Systems Limited is
part of the Techspan Group of companies and
last year celebrated 40 years in business.
“Our core products include thermal transfer
ribbon, coding foils, blank label stock and TSC
label printers,” says Jon Fastnedge.
Techspan has been converting thermal transfer
ribbon and coding foil from jumbo rolls to printer
ready rolls for 20 years and is a major converter
of thermal transfer ribbon in New Zealand.
Supplying ribbon from Ricoh Japan, NCR and
Iimak in the USA as well as suppliers in Germany,
France and Taiwan, ribbon is available in all
grades for flat head printers (Zebra, Datamax,
Meto, Sato, TSC and Intermec to name a few)
and near edge printers (Toshiba, Avery, Markem-
Imaje, Easyprint and Domino).
“As well as ribbons for desk-top and industrial
label printers, we also supply ribbon for TTO
inline high-speed thermal coders.
“We stock over 50 coloured ribbons and have
the ability to slit ribbon to any width and length
to accommodate any printer type. Printheads for
all printer types and a range of blank label stock
is also available.”
Techspan says that it is becoming harder to save
money on consumables in the competitive New
Zealand market, but label printing consumables
remain in front as an effective way to reduce
costs. “As a converter of these we are confident
we can save you money, possibly thousands of
dollars.”
TSC update label printer
range
TSC has supplied over four million printers into
the market in over 90 countries. It is an award
winning, top-5 global manufacturer of label
printers worldwide, with a market share of over
33% in the USA and Asia and over 40% in India.
Within the last few years TSC has completely
refreshed its range of printers from the desktop
through to the heavy-duty industrial printers.
The MH-240 series, an industrial label printer,
replacing the 2410 series includes a user-friendly,
full colour touch screen, high print speed and
auto sensing printheads so you can easily
convert your printer from 203 to 300 or 600 dpi.
The MX-240pro series, an extra heavy-duty
printer is capable of print speeds up to 440mm
per second and is designed for 24/7 operation.
TSC’s PEX-1000 series print engine can
print labels at up to 457mm per second.
It also supports 203, 300 and 600 dpi
resolutions. Designed for ease of integration,
the PEX-1000 Series offers simple integration
into both new and existing label application
installations.
All printers come with a two-year limited
warranty and 25km or 12-months warranty on
printheads.
TSC printers also support all popular printer
language emulation enabling replacement of
existing brands.
Techspan backs up its sales with in-house
support, remote training, setup and service
support. Loan printers are also available if
required for return to base repairs.
“As the New Zealand authorised partner of TSC
we offer the full range of TSC label printers,
available on our dedicated e-commerce web site
or direct from Techspan.
“We have a reputation as a supplier of quality
products and services and have built our
company on this philosophy. This is part of the
reason for our longevity and the range of TSC
printers perfectly complements this model. “
