MACH4
for small footprint and medium runs

The label printers for a great application area

MACH4 has the same performance data as the established industrial printer A4+. Labels and transfer ribbons are feed from the front. Therefore it needs only a small work space.

It offers all the features of a high class industrial printer with a wide application range. Labels and ribbons can be inserted from the front. The print mechanism and housing are made of premium materials and are perfectly harmonized in their form and function. Easy and comfortable handling and high reliability were the requirements during development.
 

The large display with white backlight offers optimum readability. The navigation pad with the additional “Enter” button simplifies operation, with only the operated functions being displayed.

The centered label path eliminates the need for adjustments and avoids wrinkling of the ribbon.The high-tech electronic board incorporates all the requisite interfaces as standard and works with all kinds of adapters.
