P8000 Zero Tear

The Printronix P8000 Zero-Tear offerings are specialized cartridge line matrix printers designed for businesses using multi-part and serialized documents that require print on demand, single form tear-off usability. The Zero-Tear functionality allows users to eliminate forms waste and reduce operating costs. Through its unique tractor configuration, the ZT models push single or multi-part media through the hammer bank and eject it up to the tear bar upon job completion. Configurations and printing speeds ranging from 500 to 1,000 lines per minute

Flexible Design. Printronix modified its industry-leading line matrix technology to address evolving user requirements.
