ALDINGEN, Germany — Hengstler GmbH, a leading European manufacturer of industrial components, including a wide range of printers and cutters, has signed an agreement to license two-sided thermal printing technology from NCR Corporation. This license gives Hengstler the ability to make, use and sell two-sided thermal printers under NCR's two-sided thermal printing intellectual property worldwide to customers for its banking, transportation, gas dispensing and kiosk applications.
Hengstler will demonstrate a two-sided printer at the HECON booth at the KioskCom Self-Service Expo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, on April 14 and 15. Hengstler printers are marketed under the HECON name in North America.
NCR says its patented two-sided printing technology (2ST) improves the efficiency of the receipt printing process by allowing simultaneous printing on both the front and back side of a receipt or other media. By using less paper, 2ST also minimizes environmental impact.
