TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES TO SHOWCASE INNOVATIVE PRINTERS
AT BLUESTAR’S VARTECH 10 CONFERENCE


HAMDEN, CT., August 26, 2010– TRANSACT Technologies, Incorporated. (Nasdaq:TACT), a global leader in market-specific printers for transaction based industries, will demonstrate their innovative, feature rich printers at the upcoming VARTECH 10 conference being held at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, OH, August 29 – 31, 2010.  

Located in Booth #808, TRANSACT will feature their Ithaca® 8000, Ithaca® 8040, Ithaca 280™, Epic 880™ and POSjet® 1500 printers. Each of these printers offers unparalleled performance for demanding POS applications.  

The Ithaca® 8000 thermal printer is perfectly suited to address the numerous needs within the hospitality and POS industries.  The Ithaca® 8000 provides the flexibility to print on either thermal receipt paper or liner-free sticky labels. In addition, it provides unmatched value by providing nearly 80% more sticky paper at nearly half the cost of the alternative.  

TRANSACT’s Ithaca® 8040 thermal liner-free sticky label printer is specifically designed to adhere to hot or cold beverage cups, ensuring increased productivity and customer satisfaction by eliminating errors resulting from illegible order writing.  The Ithaca® 8040 is also specifically designed to protect against failure due to liquid spills with its vertically mounted PC board and internally mounted power supply.

In addition to their thermal sticky label printers, TRANSACT will also feature their Epic 880™ thermal roll receipt printer that is tailor made for rugged kiosk demands.  With the ability to print on either 4-inch or 6-inch paper rolls, this printer provides the option of printing receipts from 2.5 to 10 inches in length.  Also, the Epic 880™ provides an auto paper-loading feature which maximizes up-time.

The Ithaca 280™ thermal printer thrives in challenging POS industries ranging from retail to hospitality, and easily integrates into existing POS systems.  This printer offers numerous features including high speed printing at 8-inches per second, an extra-large drop-in paper roll and crisp clear thermal POS receipts with bold graphics in 1 or 2 colors.

The POSjet® 1500 inkjet printer uses simple snap-in inkjet cartridges.  Additionally, the POSjet 1500 supports printing graphics, logos, coupons or special offers in one or two colors.   This printer also supports Patented Insta-Load® auto paper loading technology and reduces downtime with large-capacity rolls.

Please visit Booth #808 for a demonstration of these versatile printers.
