DCS 12-24 Printer
Large Format Thermal Printer
Advanced, Efficient, and
Adaptable - these are three reasons to select the DCS 12-24 printer with ColorFIRST™ technology.
The 12-24 is a revolutionary machine that digitally produces custom color
products in one incredibly fast process. Advanced ColorFIRST™ technology enables fast
imaging on rigid substrates. Considered the
first "one step sign-making machine,” the 12-24 transfers images directly onto
your substrate. This one step process eliminates the need to manually transfer
your work, thus saving you time and money.
The 12-24’s ColorFIRST™ technology increases your efficiency. In addition to
saving post-printing labor time, it dramatically reduces production time.
Full color or spot color ... the choice is yours; and the setup is easy. Print
in full color using one of our paneled ribbons. Monochrome printing is also
possible using a variety of spot colors.
The 12-24 is very adaptable. It produces instant signage on a variety of
different substrates. The largest format printer of its kind, the 12-24 accepts
materials up to 12" x 24" [304.8mm x 609.6mm] and 1/4" thick [6.35mm].
With the DCS 12-24, you can produce: signage, award plaques, license plates,
real estate signs, directory strips, OSHA signs, countertop displays, legend
plates, building maps, and much more ... all in one easy step!
For small jobs, lay out several jobs on one larger sheet of plastic, print the
"sheet", then cut out the individual items. This method is a time-saving
alternative to printing each job individually, especially if you're working with
small items.
Using the 12-24 in combination with our exclusive Color Byte software, you can
also design one job and let the software generate the rest for you. For more
information on Color Byte software, visit our
