Release Details

Wallingford, CT - January 11, 2006 - TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT), a leading producer of transaction-based printers for customers worldwide, will launch the Epic 430&#153 printer at the International Casino Exhibition (ICE) and Amusement Trades Exhibition International (ATEI) trade shows, taking place January 24-26 in London, England. This printer adds to the TransAct product line that is designed specifically for gaming-type machines found in non-casino gaming establishments. The Epic 430&#153 targets game types such as Amusements with Prizes (AWP) and Skills with Prizes (SWP) found in pubs in the UK, Video Lottery Terminals (VLT), Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBT) found in betting parlors in the UK and across Europe, Pachinko machines in Japan, and other off-premise gaming-type machines around the world.

Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies, said, "We continue to see exciting opportunities in the off-premises gaming market and have focused our attention on building printers designed to meet the specific needs of this new market for TransAct. We designed the Epic 430&#153 to deliver the same superior performance and reliability our customers have come to expect from our Epic family of gaming printers. The Epic 430&#153 is smaller in size than our Epic 630&#153 and is modular in design, which allows customers to configure the printer with just the options they need and assemble it as the game space permits. We believe that the market that this printer line addresses has considerable growth potential for TransAct."

The Epic 430&#153 offers a variety of user-friendly features including an optional presenter. The presenter eliminates player interference by buffering the ticket, allowing the printer to fully print and cut the ticket before presenting it. The presenter accommodates variable length tickets from 2.5 inches to 10 inches, providing operators the flexibility to easily add graphics or coupons directly to the tickets. The printer is designed to flip open for fast and easy paper roll loading. It delivers a fast print speed of 155 mm/second. Standard sensors include Black Mark, Ticket-Out, Cover Open, and Ticket-Taken.
