Zero Tear Line Matrix Printer

The Printronix P8000 Zero-Tear offerings are specialized cartridge line matrix printers designed for businesses using multi-part and serialized documents that require print on demand, single form tear-off usability. The Zero-Tear functionality allows users to eliminate forms waste and reduce operating costs. Through its unique tractor configuration, the ZT models push single or multi-part media through the hammer bank and eject it up to the tear bar upon job completion. Configurations and printing speeds ranging from 500 to 1,000 lines per minute
