Direct Thermal Printers The M-5900RVe Series direct thermal printers produce high-quality labels with significantly lower operating costs compared to standard thermal transfer printing. The M-5900RVe combines SATO's direct thermal technology with a new advanced linerless system that eliminates the need for non-biodegradable liner material. The linerless media yields more labels per roll, enhancing the high-value, low-maintenance features of direct thermal printing. M-5900RVe SATO's revolutionary new M-5900RVe Direct Thermal Printer yields high quality labels and tags while dramatically reducing overall printing costs. The low operating cost and long list of features makes the M-5900RVe the ideal solution for many cost sensitive industrial applications such as shipping and tracking. The M-5900RVe incorporates a print head designed for long life direct thermal printing. Its warranty and expected life are many times the typical current industry standards. With a warranty of one year or 2 million inches and an expected life of up to 4 million inches, print head replacement cost savings alone will more than pay for the printer when compared to other available printers. Improved thermal papers with UV resistance up to 3 times the industry standards can be used in the M-5900RVe for long lasting labels. The M-5900's low price combined with its high quality and industrial construction make a powerhouse printer affordable. It prints labels up to 5" wide with a print area of 4.4" wide by 13" long at 203 DPI and speeds up to 4.7" per second. The printer includes an array of fonts and bar codes for maximum design flexibility and combines ease of use with construction to SATO standards for heavy-duty industrial use. Features - Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction - High Reliability, Low Maintenance - New Print Head Quadruples Anticipated Print Life - 203 DPI Resolution - User Friendly Operation - Wide Selection of Bar Widths, Densities, and Ratios - Affordably Priced M-5900RVe The M-5900RVe Linerless Direct Thermal Printer combines SATO's reputation for rugged durability with linerless label printing.
