ALTRINCHAM, England, July 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The LK-P series of portable label printers ( http://www.maxatec-europe.com/content/pages/products/portable/portable-l... printers.shtml) is set to complement the existing and extensive range of portable thermal and impact receipt printers ( http://www.maxatec-europe.com/content/pages/products/receipt/) currently marketed by Maxatec.

Available in both 2 and 3 print widths, the LK-P11 and LK-P30 are both rugged and compact in design. The printers are lightweight and suitable for any mobile computing application, and meet modern day requirements in terms of ease-of-use, connectivity and reliability.

Andrea Percival, director of Maxa Technologies Limited (Maxatec), said: The Maxatec brand has been synonymous with printing for many years. We have been looking for suitable portable thermal label printers for sometime, and the LK-P series really fills out our range of portable printers, which until now has focused on portable receipt printing rather than labelling. The LK-P printers are competitive in every way: specification, reliability and price point. We are very pleased that we can now offer our reseller base an alternative product for portable labelling requirements.

The LK-P printers use a Lithium Ion battery - which has a 2.5 hour charging time, with 20 hours on stand-by. The printers are certified to IP42 but when used with the specially designed case they have an IP54 rating. The LK-P 11 has a print speed of 80 mm/sec and the LK-P 30 prints at 100 mm /second - both printers have a large roll capacity and have a range of industry standard printer drivers, including Blackberry, and industry standard emulations.

Percival commented, The LK-P series is designed to be competitive - we are confident that we can slot the printer into existing portable label printing applications with minimal effort for the reseller. In today's environment, it is essential to make products that are compatible to the market leaders so the driver and emulation suite with the LK-P series is a real USP.

The LK-P series are available with RS232, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity and have a range of optional accessories including leather case, shoulder strap, cradle and vehicle charger (12/24v).
