Powerful, Compact, and Reliable
The TC200 combines performance and practicality in one small form factor. It’s built on the same print engine used in TSC’s industrial models, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent print quality. The clamshell design allows the printer to open widely, giving full access to media paths and ribbon loading areas—saving time and reducing errors during label changes. Automatic calibration detects label gaps or black marks for precise alignment, ensuring every label prints perfectly.
Printing at up to 6 ips , the TC200 keeps pace with demanding workloads. Its high-speed processor and expanded memory handle complex label formats and graphics easily. It’s also energy-efficient, quiet, and well-suited for shared office, counter, or lab environments where performance, noise level, and footprint matter.
Optimised for Inkanto Ribbons
For best results, use Inkanto Thermal Transfer Ribbons with your TC200. Inkanto’s wax, wax-resin, and resin formulations produce deep-black, smudge-resistant prints that meet both industrial and retail standards. They also help protect the printhead from friction damage, extending its life and lowering total maintenance costs. When combined with Barcode Direct’s high-quality blank labels, you can rely on a professional finish every time.
