TCU Industrial Inkjet Printer
Controller
The HSAjet TCU (Tiny Controller Unit) is a very cost-effective HP
based printing solution designed for limited printing jobs still
requiring a high-resolution and high quality print.
It is the ideal solution for e.g. stamping of checks, paper
documentation, pre-coding, internal logistics, data documentation
e.g. integrated in letter openers, or in the pharmaceutical
industry.
The HSAjet TCU prints with up to two HP printheads.
Ideal Solution
The HSAjet TCU is the ideal printing solution for small messages,
i.e. text printing, barcode printing, counter printing, time and
date printing, expiry data printing and logo printing.
It is a very compact solution and calls for a minimum amount of
maintenance. Consequently, no special training is required to
operate and maintain the HSAjet TCU, and the cartridges are clean
and easy to install. In addition, the HSAjet TCU has a design of
stainless steel and can easily be implemented in production areas.
Advanced Technology
The HSAjet TCU is based on a standard HP cartridge and makes use
of the thermal inkjet technology. Thermal inkjet technology places
small ink drops extremely accurately and gives a very high image and
text quality.
The ink is available either black or colored, which enhances
possible printing applications. The HSAjet TCU also enables printing
on almost any surface such as cardboard, paper, wood, and plastic.
