PRINTER P5

 

 

The P5 is a quiet and fast Thermo-Paper-Printer (up to 5 lines per second). The construction allows for easy paper change during an event. The transport axle is combined with the paper cover and guaranties a that the paper can be changed without complication.
The printer head has no moving parts so jamming of paper between the head and spindle is almost impossible. Paper roles are inexpensive and easily available.
