CognitiveTPG releases new self-sharpening kiosk printers

April 2, 2009

DENVER — CognitiveTPG, provider of on-demand label and transaction printing solutions, introduced its new line of kiosk printers, the K798 and K799. The K798 and K799 thermal printers incorporate the same platform technology as the company's A798/A799 point of sale receipt printers.

These kiosk printers feature an exclusive full-steel modular frame to withstand the harshest environments and facilitate kiosk construction and maintenance. The compact clamshell design provides significant design flexibility and access to common areas required for media loading and maintenance. This ensures easier integration in retail, self-checkout, healthcare, hospitality and banking self-service applications.

Unique to the kiosk printer market, the K798/K799 features a self-sharpening rotary ceramic auto-cutter knife with a minimum service life of 2.3 million knife cuts, which is 50 percent longer than many existing offerings. Combined with a 200 kilometer (7.8 million inches) printhead, these kiosk printers deliver unsurpassed performance and reliability.

"With the growing significance of the self-service sector, CognitiveTPG designed a printer mechanism that can work in a kiosk application as well as our single station point-of-sale unit," said Jose Basa, director of new product development. "The modular design allows us to offer the service, flexibility and reliability that our POS customers have enjoyed for over twenty years."
