BRINGING CONVENIENCE
AND ACCURACY TO FAST
FOOD OUTLETS, HOSPITALITY
AND RETAIL
A special version of the world’s leading receipt printer
has been developed to produce repositionable labels
which stick to almost any material. The TM-T88IV
ReStick prints individual receipt labels which can
be conveniently repositioned without damaging
the surface.
Helping to improve customer service, this unique
thermal printer will reduce errors in order processing
and avoid mistakes when labelling customised
goods and individual offers.
With its durable and proven construction and design,
this innovative product prints and cuts linerless
thermal paper roll on demand, at high speed, and
with outstanding reliability.

The liner-free label solution that works
Epson’s TM-T88IV ReStick label printer is ideal for quick
service, fast food and take-away restaurants needing to
improve order accuracy, reduce food costs, speed work
flow and increase customer satisfaction. Based on new
technology, the TM-T88IV ReStick printer prints
repositionable liner-free labels that can be used for
customer bag labels, exception labels in the food
preparation area and product labels, all without any liners
to dispose of. And it is available in two versions: one for
58 mm labels/receipts and one for 80 mm labels/receipts.
The features you need
Fast and reliable, the TM-T88IV ReStick label printer prints
both text and barcodes at a crisp resolution of 203 x 203 dpi.
It features variable length label output, two different paper
widths, autocutter, small footprint and more. And because
the TM-T88IV ReStick can print both liner-free labels and
receipts, the same printer can be used throughout the
restaurant minimising service, supplies and training costs.
Cost-effective liner-free label printing
Epson’s liner-free label printing solution, using adhesive
label paper, is significantly less expensive than using a
standard label printer. There is no need to peel off and
dispose of a paper liner, reducing both cost and waste.
