PRINTING FLEXIBILITY 

WITH A WIDE SELECTION OF MEDIA  

OVERVIEW

Long lasting durability and ease of use, plus affordability are the hallmarks of the C168 Series compact printer. 

The direct thermal and thermal transfer printing modes and an adjustable Reflective Media Sensor affords users a wide range of media choices and printing flexibility.

FEATURES

Heat Equalizing Algorithm Technique (HEAT™)

HEAT™ technique, which assures real-time monitoring and accurate calculation on thermal control, newly developed by POSTEK, is a cutting edge technology in heating control of thermal print-heads. With HEAT™, the POSTEK printers can significantly improve their performance in the aspects of printout clarity and print speed.

Reflective & transmissive sensors flexibly recognize various kinds of media

Both reflective & transmissive sensors promote great flexibility to print on most types of labels including continuous, labels with gaps, labels with marks and even labels with holes.


Free media stand More capacity = Less downtime

The Free External Media stand easily increases the media capacity fourfold, saving you time on changing the media, which greatly enhances the efficiency.

Bearings reduce wear and friction and ensure durability

All rotating parts are supported by ball bearings or fixed bearings, thereby eliminating wear caused from direct contact with plastic.


Industrial class stepping motor Extra quality = Zero fault

C168 is manufactured with the Industrial Class Stepping Motor used on our commercial models, ensuring strong power and stable performance.

* HEAT ™ ( Heating Equilibrium Adaptive Tuning ) developed by POSTEK, is a cutting-edge technology in heating control of thermal printheads. With HEAT™, the POSTEK printers can significantly improve their performance in the aspects of printout clarity and print speed. The HEAT™ level represents the fineness of the heating uniformity with level I being the finest.
