MVP Series Product Guide - 26 - Competitive Analysis
Brady MVP Series versus Datamax I-4208
Datamax recently introduced their
E, I and W class printers to
streamline their product line.
Disadvantages of Datamax I-
4208 vs. Brady MVP Series
• The MVP series offers
BradyConnect remote
connectivity and control
solution (standard). A feature
currently not available on
Datamax printers.
• Ribbon sensor on Datamax
senses ribbon spindle
movement, whereby MVP
sensor looks for presence of
ribbon at the printhead.
Hence, Datamax unit could
continue printing on ribbon
trailer causing blank labels
and data loss to occur as
well as possible printhead
damage.
• 8ips max. print speed on I-
4208 versus 10 ips on MVP
series.
• LED indicator lights difficult
to read versus MVP series
high contrast LCD –
readable in either dim or
bright light.
