Seiko to Ship New Fast SLP 450 Label Printer for the Mac

Seiko Instruments USA, the pioneer of the one-label-at-a-time "smart" printer, is shipping a new model in its flagship Smart Label Printer (SLP) line, offering higher resolution and a print speed of approximately one second per label. Seiko Instruments' new SLP 450 adds 2D barcode printing and improved network connectivity, pumping out high-quality, professional-looking labels that can include patient or customer information, bar codes for storing, shipping or inventory tracking, as well as text and graphics for labeling office files or cabinets. The printer also will generate name tags with the company logo for reception desk visitors or office events. In a home environment, the SLP 450 will label home office file folders, boxes or bins storing projects for the kids or fancy name tags for parties.

The Seiko Instruments SLP 450 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 and later. It will be available in May at an estimated street price of $189.
