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, announced today the debut of the BANKjet® 3000, its newest solution for the retail banking industry which brings customer-favorite check image printing capabilities to the teller window. This newest low-cost printing solution from TransAct will be on display (Booth #4427) for the first time at the BAI Retail Delivery 2014 show to be held on November 12-14, 2014, at McCormick Place (West Building) in Chicago, Illinois.

Offering lightning-fast receipt print speeds of 12 inches per second, TransAct's new BANKjet 3000 is the Company's next-generation thermal/inkjet combo receipt and validation printer. The BANKjet 3000 delivers receipts with high-resolution check images at the teller station - the same receipts customers have come to expect from their ATM transactions. The thermal receipt printer features simple drop-in paper loading and supports check image printing as well as barcode printing for a variety of banking applications. The validation printer features bi-directional validation with calibrating sensors and a wide cut-through, drop-in validation slot along with LED lights that provide the teller with feedback on proper form insertion. In addition, the BANKjet 3000 has a space-saving design and extensive system compatibility along with an attractive price point that allows for an easy upgrade from existing banking printers.

"We are constantly working to respond to our customers' needs with unique, industry-leading and value-added solutions and the introduction of our new BANKjet 3000 is yet another example of our development team's dedicated efforts," said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies. "As banks nationwide have expanded ATM functionality to include check and cash deposits, customers have come to expect transaction receipts that feature a check image, providing them with the peace of mind that their deposit was correctly recorded. Based on this strong customer feedback and their view of TransAct as a trusted printing solution provider, our banking customers have been working with us to develop the BANKjet 3000, extending these new capabilities to the teller station. We are excited to bring this unique solution to BAI Retail Delivery 2014 where we will demonstrate its advanced capabilities and its ability to provide the bank customer with the customer experience they desire."
