Print-on-demand tear-off that eliminates forms waste.

The P8000 Zero-Tear is a specialised cartridge line matrix printer for businesses using multi-part and serialised documents that require print-on-demand, single-form tear-off. Its unique tractor configuration pushes single or multi-part media through the hammer bank and ejects it to the tear bar on job completion — eliminating forms waste and reducing operating costs, at speeds from 500 to 1,000 LPM.
