Printronix P8000 Zero Tear
The Printronix P8000 Zero Tear is a specialized line matrix printer for operations printing multi-part and serialized forms that must be printed on demand with single-form tear-off usability. Its Zero-Tear tractor configuration advances the form through the print line and ejects it to the tear bar at job completion—helping eliminate forms waste and reduce operating costs, with models available from 500 to 1,000 LPM.
Key Features
- Zero forms waste between tear-offs (tractors positioned below the print line)
- Print-on-demand + single-form tear-off for serialized and multi-part documents
- 500–1,000 lines per minute configurations
- Rugged industrial design for harsh environments (humidity, temperature swings, airborne contaminants)
- Media flexibility (multi-part, wide format, labels, card stock, recycled media)
- Standard connectivity: Ethernet, USB, Serial
Made for High-Volume Operations
Printronix positions the P8000 Zero Tear for sectors like automotive, transportation, food & beverage, and retail distribution, with common applications including manifest/BOL, delivery receipts, broadcast sheets, and green bar printing.
