Manufacturers that our Southampton Engineers Can Support

As a multi-brand organisation, our Southampton 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.
