Across the world our printers are being used more by more people with less specialized job training. We have listened to our customers and have developed this new printer family that is much simpler to operate. Compared to the previous generation of line matrix spool ribbons, the P7000 Cartridge generates savings of up to 20% of the consumable cost per page.

Answer:  Line matrix is the BEST solution for high volume, demanding print jobs that need to be done fast and without fail. Unlike laser printers, the P7000 wakes up from energy conservation mode quickly saving you important production time and reduced labor cost. Laser printers consume more power while printing, have shorter life spans and contribute significant waste in packaging.

Answer: The Printronix P7000 cartridge series is built to last for years and years, unlike shorter life cycle products such as laser and serial printers. Line matrix printers are engineered with features that promote less energy consumption and generate less waste. The series is ENERGY STAR® qualified, providing operational energy savings compared to laser printers. Additional environmental advantages include: waste reduction, less packaging, accommodates paper with high recycled content, easier recycling of printed paper, ozone reduction, and none of the fine particulate emissions found in laser toner cartridges.

Answer: The P7000 provides instant labor-saving remote printer access and control through PrintNet Enterprise™ software. The optional Ethernet adapter and the JAVA based remote management software allow all P7000 printers compatibility with existing workflows.

Answer: PrintNet Enterprise™ software gives you control of your entire global printing network from anywhere you have access to a desktop computer. Designate events and be alerted to printer issues via email, pager or mobile phone alerts.

Standard Life Cartridge – Single Pack	Lowest cost per purchase for customers with restrictive budget. Available in a single pack. This ribbon cartridge fits all P7000 cartridge printer models.

Extended Life Cartridge – Four Pack	For customers with budget flexibility and seeking the lowest operation cost. This cartridge ribbon fits all P7000 printers EXCEPT 500 line per minute models.

Answer: The Standard Life cartridge page yield is 17,000 pages and the Extended Life cartridge page yield is 30,000 pages.  

Answer: The P5000 Gold Series 30M Spool Ribbon page yield is 5,000 pages and the P7000 Ultra Capacity Plus Spool Ribbon page yield is 15,000 pages.

Answer: The page yield enables us to perform accurate comparisons across our products as well as any competitor products. Our research shows that the most likely competition for our printer is a laser printer. By rating in pages, we make it easier for users to compare and see our substantial cost advantage. Additionally, the page test protocol is a much better indicator of real life consumable yields compared with older character based ratings. The difficulty with character yield comparisons is that manufacturers use different tests, settings, applications and environments to produce a character yield. There are no published comparisons of how one manufacturer derived a character yield versus other manufacturers.
