General Characteristics 

 

TTPCard has been exclusively designed by CONTA-CLIP

 

for the identification of conductors and 

electrical components. TTPCard is a high resolution printer based on thermal transfer technology, 
capable of producing markers for cables and terminal blocks, legends for pushbuttons and all electrical 
panel components. All CONTA-CLIP

 

media can be printed with Windows True Type fonts in black or 

colours at high speed. TTPCard will also reproduce Clipart images, drawings, barcodes and bitmaps 
down to very small sizes. Compact, ergonomic, clean and quiet TTPCard may be conveniently located 
in an office, like any other peripheral. Each monochrome ribbon can print more than 300.000 PC-
TPMF 4x10 mm cable tags with full printable surface coverage, while printing times, costs and ribbon 
life may be further improved due to the ribbon optimisation system, depending on the type of material 
being printed. Carriage loading and unloading operations are rapid; support templates are easily 
interchanged and as the pigment deposited from the ribbon dries instantaneously, printed sheets are 
immediately ready to use.
