Sewoo certifies conventional thermal paper and sustainable Blue4est alternative

Print Solutions

Koehler Paper has taken the next step towards futureproof point of sale printing solutions together with Sewoo, a well established provider of point of sale and label printers. Both conventional KT 48 PF white thermal paper and environmentally friendly Blue4est N Lite have been certified for Sewoo’s SLK T12/T20/T21/T32 printer models and the bestselling SLK TS400 series.

Before this official approval, the two paper products, KT 48 PF and Blue4est N Lite, were extensively tested for several months. The focus throughout this testing stage? Printing quality, barcode legibility, images and logos, and durability under a variety of conditions. The results show that both products are 100% compatible with Sewoo printers and deliver dependable performance for daily use at the point of sale. At the same time, Sewoo’s advanced printhead control unit reduces wear while maximising ease of maintenance. This ensures absolutely solid and reliable results even when working with high printing volumes.

‘With this Sewoo certification, we now have one more invaluable partner and are taking another important step towards sustainable point of sale systems with Blue4est. This is further proof of our commitment to offering solutions that not only ensure maximum printing quality and versatility, but are also ready for use right away,’ said Sebastian Früh, the director of the Thermal Paper Division at Koehler Paper.

The printer models in the SLK series are directly compatible with and will detect sustainable, blue Blue4est thermal paper right away without the need for any additional configuration or customisation settings. This ensures that companies worldwide will be able to seamlessly switch over to environmentally friendly solutions. Moreover, Sewoo has an extensive global sales and support network that guarantees smooth integration and provides a solid basis for the use of both types of paper.

With its KT 48 PF and Blue4est products, Koehler Paper offers a broad portfolio that covers an extremely wide variety of printing applications – from traditional solutions to sustainable alternatives. Things start with conventional KT 48 PF thermal paper, which makes a compelling case with its first rate printing quality, high reliability, and tried and true performance. And then comes Blue4est, which complements the old school option by being a more sustainable alternative: it uses zero chemical colour developers, is recyclable, and can be disposed of as wastepaper. In addition, it is approved for direct contact with food and guarantees that prints will last for over 35 years.

Altogether, this makes it the perfect solution for use in retail, logistics, and the hospitality industry. Moreover, its characteristic blue colour makes it easy for consumers to recognize it as an environmentally friendly solution.
