Metal vs. Plastic
One touch tells you that this is 
not a plastic printer. We know 
the environment and the 
workload the C Series printers 
must endure. Using solid metal 
framing, print mechanism, and 
components gives it the 
rugged and industrial strength 
to stand up to some of the 
most challenging 
environments. This industrial 
build is what enables the C 
Series to compete with table 
top printers.
Flexibility provides versatility
The C Series delivers flexibility 
and versatility to meet mostly 
any applications. For 
on-demand printing 
applications, the C Series small 
footprint, LCD menu, and 
USB-A port provides a user 
friendly solution. With high 
volume printing, the back 
expands to accommodate an 8 
inch roll to maintain its compact 
footprint. The C Series also 
oers a 300 dpi print solution 
for high resolution and graphics 
printing.
Meets strict European standards, such as RoHS & WEEE 
compliance for non-toxicity of components and recyclability.
