Print Engines

Maximise uptime for your mission-critical operation with integrated, hot-swap, print engine technology. In high-speed, high-throughput environments, production, uptime and hardware availability are everything.

In all printer applicators on the market, the print mechanism, control and processing elements carry the biggest load, which means they are the most common cause of downtime. At Cobalt, all these elements are housed in one hot-swappable print engine box, so unlike other systems, if there is an issue, a replacement can be fitted in a matter of minutes. This allows any maintenance or repair to occur offline, whilst your line keeps running.

We only partner with the very best manufacturers of thermal transfer print technology; Zebra empowers those on the front line in retail, healthcare, transportation and logistics, manufacturing and other industries to achieve a performance edge - an edge that translates to delighted customers, good patient outcomes and superior business results. That’s why incorporating Zebra technology into our solutions ensures the best results for our customers.

Using OEM engines ensures a cost-effective continuity of spares supply with the best availability - a pre-requisite for all mission-critical applications. In addition to Zebra, we also partner with Sato and Datamax, ensuring we provide our customers with the most appropriate print engine for any specific application. Our seasoned technical team can provide servicing and repairs across all our partner print engines.
