Printronix Announces RFID Smart Label Printer

Andy Chapman, the senior technology officer and senior vice president of Printronix, cites that the lack of integrated print-and-apply systems is a huge barrier to RFID adoption.

(Nasdaq: PTNX - News), the leading integrated supply-chain printing solutions manufacturer, today introduced the industry's first integrated Electronic Product Code (EPC(TM))-UHF print-and-apply system. The Smart Label Printer Applicator (SLPA(TM)) 7000e was co-developed by Printronix and FOX IV Technologies Inc., two experienced industrial printing solution providers creating first-of-its-kind radio-frequency identification (RFID) printing technologies. Built on Printronix's leading EPC RFID Smart(TM) encoding technology and combined with FOX IV's best-in-class Uniwall applicator system, the SLPA7000e is the first and only all-in-one system to meet companies' RFID compliance encoding as well as in-line encode and apply production requirements."
