The Datamax S-Class family of admissions ticketing printers are the
fastest, most configurable ticket printers to be introduced to the
admissions industry.
The development of the ticket printer within Datamax was driven by market
research identifying the potential growth of thermal printer sales within
the ticket printing industry. The driving force for the growth is the
combined demands for automation, printing of variable data, reduction of
fraud, and the increased use of the Internet as an avenue to print and
sell tickets. Our research shows the combination of these factors presents
a tremendous opportunity for a high performance, thermal ticket printer.
After careful review of the admissions industry, Datamax has developed and
launched a line of thermal ticket printers. The ST-3210 operates in direct
thermal mode, prints an image area of up to 3.15" wide and accommodates
fan-fold stock. This product has more standard features, better overall
performance, and a more competitive price than its identified competition.
