The Epson PLQ-20 is fast and effective, with print speeds up to 480cps (10cpi), high paper throughput and the ability to handle passbooks up to 2.6mm thick.

And the ribbon will not need to be changed for a long time, thanks to a ribbon life of 5 million characters per ribbon.

It includes a top paper tray for storing forms and books neatly. Additionally a rear paper guide bends the paper safely after printing which saves space at the rear of the printer.

This impact printer makes fast, high quality printing simple. Users can change the ribbon easily, without requiring any IT support.
