NCR’s patented 2ST two-sided printing technology improves the efficiency of the printing process by allowing simultaneous printing on both the front and back side of a receipt or label. Some of the benefits of 2ST technology include:
- Reduce costs – use less paper and eliminate the need for separate packing slips, pouches to contain the slips, and the printers and supplies needed to produce the packing slips.
- Improve productivity – removing process steps for shipping labeling applications frees operator time to focus on more value-added work.
- Enhance customer loyalty – enable 1-to-1 messages, surveys, coupons, warranties and return policies to improve communication effectiveness.
- Help protect the environment – produce less waste and reduce the overall footprint of paper manufactured by reducing consumption.
