EPSON DOT MATRIX
LQ-2190
The Epson LQ-2190 is a 24-pin wide-format printer and
like its predecessor – the LQ-2180 – it is a fast, flexible,
cost-effective and highly reliable printing solution which
combines large print volumes with high letter quality –
ideal for applications such as invoices, delivery notes,
inventory listings or even labels.
Reliability
With MTBF (mean time between
failure) of 20,000 power-on hours and
a print head life of 400 million strokes
per wire, this extremely robust printer
is suitable for medium and large print
volumes. Both features guarantee
uninterrupted operation and less
maintenance, in turn enhancing your
productivity and reducing your total
cost of ownership.
Speed
Its high print speed of up to 480 cps
(10 cpi) makes it an ideal solution for
high volume applications. For those
who demand even higher productivity
especially for complex fonts like
Arabic, the new unique Epson Print
Speed Enhancer accelerates the print
speed even further.
Flexibility
Flexible paper management allows
insertion at the front, rear and bottom
and dual tractor units allow you to load
two sizes of paper at the same time,
ready for use. The ability to print on
6-part stationery is useful for multipart forms. With the addition of USB
interface, the LQ-2190 also provides
flexible stand-alone connectivity.
High ribbon yield
At 15 million characters per ribbon,
the LQ-2190 also offers a very long
ribbon life. The benefits are long
ribbon replacement intervals, low
running costs and lower total cost
of ownership.
