The newest generation of DCS's Millennium thermal-ribbon printer series makes name badge production even quicker and easier. The 770 allows you to print on various sizes of card stock with one simple adjustment, eliminating the need for cumbersome adapters to accommodate different badge widths. The Millennium 770 accepts blanks from 1" x 3" up to 2.5" x 3.7", and from .020" to .060" thick. It also features an optional black resin with overlay (KO) ribbon to help protect black resin prints from alcohol-based perfumes and solvents.
DCS also offers the Millennium 720 printer for printing on CR80 sized card stock.
