The Bradyprinter™ THT Model 2024 & 2034, hereafter referred to as 'the Printer', is a high performance, low cost, direct thermal or thermal transfer label printer that uses Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) technology. With its standard 203 DPI (Dots Per Inch) printhead, the Printer can print labels at speeds of up to 10" per second. The thermal transfer model allows for the use of thermal transfer ribbons.

An innovative dot history control circuit called SEAQ™, (Sequential Energy Adjustment for Quality), provides exceptional print quality by monitoring the printhead data and automatically adjusting the printhead element temperatures to provide maximum printhead quality and performance.
