CLINTON CARDS CHOOSES TSP100 futurePRNT™ RECEIPT PRINTER FROM STAR MICRONICS

Founded in 1968, Clinton Cards is the largest specialist retailer of greetings cards, plush merchandise (soft toys) and related products in the UK with over 700 Clinton Cards stores and over 300 Birthdays stores.

Clinton Cards operate shops ranging in size from a typical 1,600 square feet shop to the largest shop situated in Leeds White Rose that measures 10,750 square feet.

Having successfully deployed the TSP700 thermal receipt printer from leading international POS printer manufacturer Star Micronics throughout its stores for the last five years, the retailer has taken the decision to upgrade to the TSP100 futurePRNT from Star.

By upgrading to the TSP100 futurePRNT Clinton Cards now benefits from high speed printing, exceptional print quality and a range of unique features. A highly sophisticated and cost effective single station printer, the TSP100 futurePRNT printer provides a number of software tools that enable the overall appearance of receipts to be easily modified and customers to be effectively targeted through the addition of relevant coupons.
Capable of printing 25 x 150mm receipts per minute, regardless of font used or whether graphics are included, the TSP100 futurePRNT offers high speed, reliable performance.

Rob Brown, EPOS Manager at Clinton Cards, states, “Having experienced consistent high quality performance and reliability from the TSP700 it was an obvious choice to upgrade to the TSP100 futurePRNT. We are particularly impressed by its high speed performance and by the fact that we can simply and effectively download the company logo given that all settings are stored on the PC. With such a large number of printers being installed across our stores this clearly provides significant benefits in terms of ease of installation and maintenance costs.”
