Label printer Honeywell PC42E-T 300x300 DPI 100 mm/sec Wired

The Honeywell PC42E-T label printer is a compact desktop printer designed for mid-volume direct thermal and thermal transfer printing. It offers a choice of 203 dpi or 300 dpi print heads and a maximum print speed of 100 mm/s (approximately 6 inches per second). The unit supports a maximum printing width of 108 mm, wired Ethernet connectivity, an LED display, and a black compact housing weighing about 2.04 kg.

Advantages

The PC42E-T combines high-resolution printing options with stable, high-speed output and a user-friendly design. An ECO mode button reduces label waste and shortens calibration time, while interchangeable 0.5-inch and 1-inch ribbon cores increase media flexibility. The printer accepts common accessories such as cutters, peelers, and wireless modules, and is backward-compatible with accessories from the earlier PC42T model.
