For this printer options are available (for example, cutter). The LOGIJET T8-3 printer is provided with a controller that is also used in SOLID laserprinters. So the advantages of the thermal print technology are combined with the flexibility of the „laserprinter intelligence“.
The dyes and developers within the paper respond to the heat of particular dots, change their colour to black and so the wanted image emerges. The printer LOGIJET T8-3 can be used for both methods of printing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ MICROPLEX Operator’s Manual LOGIJET T8-3...
