Postek Q8 Series Compact Commercial Barcode Label Printer overview
The Q8 is aimed at places with very little room for a printer. Its one-piece chassis and fixed print module are designed for steady, quiet running, and the cover swings open from the side to expose the whole working area for loading.
A patented convective cooling design helps keep working temperature down during continuous printing. It is offered in 203 dpi and 300 dpi versions, and it uses a smaller 110 m ribbon.
