The Datamax H-8308p printer is for wide-width label/ thermal printing customers, who are looking to save money with a user-friendly, high-quality printer that is easy to integrate and use. For years customers have been asking for a compatible thermal printer that works with 9"/228.6mm width paper, to replace their laser printers. The H-8308p delivers the power of the PCL print language, LINUX operating system and Managed Print Service (MPS) support, to create a true-laser replacement thermal printer. The H-8308p will increase your label options, improve productivity and reduce costs. The H-8308p is the combination of two of Datamax greatest printers: the H-Class and the Performance Series. We took the mechanics of the H-Class 8"printer and combined it with the innovative electronics of the Performance Series to create the best 8.53"/216mm print width thermal printer on the market. It is designed to be the perfect printer to replace every laser printer or thermal printer doing wide-format labels and thermal documents today.
