Ribbon and Label Problems:

So if you suspect that your problems are due to a faulty batch of ribbons or labels, then they can thoroughly investigate this for you. Should be the problem stem from using the incorrect media, they will recommend the most suitable ribbon and label for your application. We have advised companies in companies in similar situations, and have not only solved their issues, but in some cases, saved them many thousands of pounds.

New and Refurbished Printers:

Occasionally, a fault is so severe that the repair is classified as “beyond economic repair”.

Manufacturers that our Oxford Engineers Can Support

As a multi-brand organisation, our Oxford engineers are trained to repair printers manufactured by Zebra, Sato, Citizen, Microplex, Honeywell, Intermec, Godex, TSC, Printronix Auto ID and Toshiba TEC.

Trained according to the “PPL Method”, our engineers thoroughly understand the principles of both thermal transfer and direct thermal label printer technology. This intensive training ensures that they can handle repairs for printers not listed here, thanks to their broad understanding of printing technology. Additionally, as some manufacturers “rebadge” their products - using identical engines across different brands - our engineer’s expertise extends to a wider array of models than those explicitly mentioned.

If your printer’s brand is not on our list, we strongly encourage you contacting our technical team. Given our engineer’s comprehensive training and the commonality of printer components, there’s a high chance we can resolve your issue.
