HAMDEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:TACT), a global leader in
market-specific solutions, including printers, terminals, software and
other products for transaction-based and other industries, will showcase
its premier color printers for the oil and gas industry, the Printrex®
920 and Printrex® 980, at the Offshore Technology Conference ("OTC"), to
be held at Reliant Park in Houston, Texas on May 5-8, 2014. The color
printers, which will be on display in Booth #2900 (Hall D), provide
solutions unique to the complexities of analyzing both seismic data and
oil wells during all phases of exploration and production.
"TransAct is pleased to be at OTC and to showcase our color printers,
which we believe are the best on the market for the oil and gas
industry," said Bart Shuldman, CEO of TransAct Technologies. "Our
printers provide a much needed solution that makes analyzing printed
seismic and well logs much easier."
The Printrex 920, the most innovative product of its kind on the market,
was developed specifically for use in the oil field. Crucial information
needed for finding oil and gas is captured in clear and detailed color
printouts, allowing for accurate, real-time analysis and decision-making
at the well site. In addition, the printer is designed to withstand the
harsh environments of remote locations.
The Printrex 920 utilizes thermal technology which allows it to print in
color and black-and-white without ink cartridges or ribbons, making the
need for supplies obsolete. In addition, it is the same size as various
existing Printrex black-and-white printers, eliminating the need for any
retrofit.
The Printrex 980 color office printer from TransAct Technologies is the
industry's fastest full-color inkjet printer, printing continuous well
logs at the rate of eight inches per second. The clarity and resolution
of full-color output presents data in an accurate and easy-to-read
format for timely analysis. Designed specifically for use in the oil and
gas industry, the Printrex 980 outputs continuous forms and is the
industry's most reliable printer. Compared to other technologies, the
Printrex 980 has the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
In addition to the Printrex 920 and Printrex 980, TransAct Technologies
will also be showcasing the Printrex 1242, the industry's fastest
12-inch seismic and well-logging printer. Designed for desktop use, the
1242 boasts a printing speed of 4 inches per second.
