Sato has launched PV3, a next-generation mobile printer aimed at providing operators with a robust and durable printing option for on-the-go tasks.

Fast-paced, on-the-move environments such as hospital wards and shop floors can often fall victim to poor quality and inaccurate labelling systems, causing a reduction in customer or patient satisfaction and overall productivity. This negative impact from inefficient equipment requires professionals to implement more productive technologies.

PV3 has been designed specifically with these issues in mind and is claimed to enable significant efficiency, productivity and sustainability gains for users, and to be ideal for a range of market sectors, including healthcare, retail and restaurants.

PV3 is a lightweight, hardwearing and compact unit, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments. It also possesses multiple printing interface options to enable high-quality, quick and cost-effective printing operations for a variety of locations from shop floors to hospital wards. Built-in third-party emulation software ensures operators can seamlessly integrate it into existing workflows without any disruption to productivity. Once incorporated, the printer provides quick printing speeds of 5in/s at a print resolution of 203dpi.

Hayata Shindo, Sato International president, said, ‘We are extremely excited to announce the launch of the PV3 printer, a next-generation solution for mobile label printing. The latest edition to the Sato catalogue of industry-leading printers has the potential to provide users with added value and significantly optimise their operational capabilities.’

Shindo San added, ‘We are focused on continuous improvement as an organisation and we are excited for our customers to experience the industry-leading real-time benefits of the PV3. It is a truly innovative and durable machine that perfectly illustrates the Sato ethos of ‘Ceaseless Creativity’.’
