Direct Thermal Printing

The SEIKO SLP850 uses direct thermal printing technology.

Printing is performed on compatible heat-sensitive label media, eliminating the need for ink cartridges, toner and thermal transfer ribbons.

The printer supports recommended thermal labels with liners and compatible liner-free labels.

Label suitability depends on the media construction, dimensions, thermal coating and printer requirements.

Customers should confirm the required label type before ordering.

300 DPI Print Resolution

The SLP850 provides 300 DPI print resolution.

It can be used to produce compatible text, identification information, graphics and barcodes.

The actual appearance and readability of printed content depend on the media, print settings, barcode dimensions and source data.
