Technology behind the printer
Main features of Cable ID Printers(Mark Printers)
Supports a variety of print media
Various media such as PVC and heat shrink tubes, flat tubes, label tape, and terminal name plates can be printed by using optional attachments, including cleaners and special cassettes. The MK5000/MK3000 models support larger tube diameters compared with previous models. PVC and heat-shrink tubes with diameters ranging from 1.5 mm to 10 mm can be printed to meet a wide range of needs. In addition, auto-cut function provides full cutting of media, while half cutting can also be selected to prevent labels and tubes from breaking into small pieces. When an auto-cut mode is not selected, cut lines can be printed.
