California-based printer manufacturer FutureLogic, Inc., announced the launch of "Eclipse," a universal ticket and receipt printer designed to handle outdoor applications.

According to the company, Eclipse was developed in response to continued industry demand for robust outdoor printing solutions. The new printer excels in the most extreme operating conditions and in a broad range of applications.

The Eclipse heavy-duty thermal printer delivers an industry-best throughput of 250mm per second even in the harshest environments (-20 degrees C to +60 degrees C and 10% to 85% RH, non-condensing), making it what FutureLogic calls the most reliable roll printer in its class.

The Eclipse printer is equipped with USB 2.0 and RS-232 interfaces. It also offers multiple printer and paper roll mounting positions that can accommodate paper widths of 80 or 82.5mm and paper rolls of 100, 150, 200 and 250mm in diameter. This equates to over 770m of paper, enabling the Eclipse printer to provide 5,000 6-inch receipts on a single roll.
To optimize security, the high-speed printer features a rugged presenter and advanced "eject and retract" technology that allows for storage of unclaimed receipts in an auxiliary tray.
