Release Details

Wallingford, CT - April 6, 2005 - TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT), a leading producer of transaction-based printers for customers worldwide, issued a statement regarding its intellectual property for its Epic 950™ thermal slot machine printer.

Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman, President and CEO said, "Allegations made by FutureLogic regarding TransAct's patent on technologies contained in our Epic 950™ thermal slot machine printer have absolutely no merit.

Second, TransAct has the utmost respect for intellectual property rights and we diligently ensure that all necessary disclosures and filings are made on a timely basis and in line with all legal requirements. Thus, we made all necessary disclosures related to our allowed patent application within the required time and in accordance with the rules of the Patent and Trademark office. We fully expect that FutureLogic's allegation will be found to be without merit and that our superior printer technologies will prevail."
