The Palette�

Now you can print color labels with or without bar codes at a price you can't beat. The Palette^TM printer by Datamax produces rich, brilliant color labels when you need them which means you won't need to maintain a costly inventory of preprinted labels. And because the Palette utilizes a single printhead versus four and a color panel ribbon, the printer requires fewer adjustments, reducing downtime and overall cost of ownership.

Using the included Windows^TM driver, create labels with standard desktop publishing or graphics software packages and various bar code label design packages. At a list price of $7995, the Palette printer is clearly the price/performance leader in color thermal printing.

A single printhead utilizing paneled ribbon technology which results in the easiest to use and maintain spot/process color thermal transfer printer in the industry.
