However, the remarkably sophisticated design and its resulting ease-of-use make the I-Class the product of choice among facilities of all sizes in all parts of the world where performance and value are not simply marketing buzzwords.
I-4406
The DMX-I-4406 printer brings new innovations and standards in price, performance, quality and reliability to high-resolution thermal label printing.
With 16MB of standard memory and a 90 MHz processor, downloading large amounts of intricate information is a breeze. Throughput is the fastest in this class of printer thus making large batch jobs flow quickly. The DMX-I-4406 is built on Datamax's proven I-Class design and is perfect for applications utilizing very small labels with high resolution and intricate graphics, or two-dimensional bar codes including Micro PDF, PDF417, Aztec and Datamatrix. The 406 dpi (16 dots/mm) printhead, coupled with the capability to accurately maintain critical print registration enable this product to produce labels for applications such as small parts tracking, identification of wiring harnesses, pharmaceutical packing and research samples, just to name a few. The die-cast aluminum frame and metal cover provide a rugged, reliable platform that stands up to the harshest industrial environments. The DMX-I-4406 prints a full 4-inch wide label. Field installable flash/font expansion cards serve to minimize download time and maximize printer output by allowing for label format and graphics storage, downloadable fonts and international language print capabilities. The I-4604 printer is the most versatile, high-density, 4" printer in the market.
