IBM launches new RFID printer

Staff -- Logistics Management, 6/15/2005

BOULDER, Co.-- IBM has announced the launch of the Infoprint 6700 R40 printer, capable of printing both traditional 4-inch bar codes and RFID verified tags. The Infoprint 6700 R40 can verify each RFID tag before information is encoded on the chip or printed on the label. If a tag is faulty, the printer can move to the next tag and continue output without operator intervention, eliminating the unreliable tag.

IBM also announced two additional versions of the Infoprint 6700. The R60 and R80 produce 6-inch and 8-inch bar codes, respectively. All the printers are capable of printing up to 10 inches per second.
