Printronix Inc., headquartered in Irvine, Calif., is a global leader of innovative printing solutions for the industrial marketplace and distribution supply chain. It is the world’s top-selling line matrix manufacturer and has earned an outstanding reputation for its high-performance thermal and fanfold laser printers and related software solutions.

The company was founded in 1974 to design advanced printing solutions for the minicomputer market. As technology migrated to networked computing and enterprise resource planning systems, Printronix also evolved to provide industry- leading printer management software, legacy migration tools and scanning and verification solutions. This cemented the company‘s position as a pioneer in printing technology solutions that support labeling, identification, supply chain applications workflow and logistics.

Expert at adapting new technologies to create innovative programs, the company offers the next generation of RFID products and services. Already, its RFID printing technology is used by more than half of Wal-Mart’s top 137 suppliers as well as scores of Department of Defense suppliers. Printronix’s RFID Smart™ technology solutions platform fast-tracks adoption of RFID and unblocks implementation barriers IT professionals face.

Advanced Supply Chain Visibility

Just as Printronix has been the first choice for line matrix printing since 1974, it also is the first name in smart label technology today. Printronix continues its first-to-market tradition in the emerging field of RFID:

• First to ship UHF, Class 1, EPC-compliant RFID smart label solutions to help companies and their suppliers conform to specifications;
• First to offer a Smart Label Developer’s Kit (SLDK™) enabling users to start their pilot programs;
• First to deliver a Smart Label Pilot Printer (SLPP™) platform to make it easy to expand pilot programs;
• First to ship a multiprotocol smart label printer supporting all existing EPC classes – as well as providing a field upgradeable path for future specifications;
• First to write the book on RFID labeling for the Consumer Packaged Goods Supply Chain.

In addition, Printronix offers other innovations to help companies test, deploy and implement RFID solutions. It offers a print-encode-andapply system that addresses compliance and automated application requirements. Its line of certified smart labels ensures accurate reading, encoding and printing performance, with one number to call for printing solutions support.
