Leading Latin American Air Carrier Selects AstroNova’s Narrow Format ToughWriter® 640 Flight Deck Printer

August 1, 2017

WEST WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced that one of Latin America’s Top 10 airlines has selected the ToughWriter® 640 narrow format flight deck printer for its future fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

“This latest commitment from one of the largest airlines in Latin America is a great endorsement of the many operational benefits provided by our new narrow format ToughWriter printers,” said AstroNova President and CEO Greg Woods.

The ToughWriter 640 brings several performance and operational benefits to the B737 aircraft. Compared with competitive offerings, the ToughWriter 640 provides a weight reduction of nearly 50 percent, a significant improvement in reliability, lower power consumption and a compact form factor. The ToughWriter 640 offers a number of industry firsts, including full graphical printing and Ethernet connectivity.

AstroNova announced the addition of the ToughWriter 640 to the B737 catalog in April. The ToughWriter 640 is used to print flight planning data, ground communications and messages transmitted over the ACARS digital datalink system. AstroNova is scheduled to begin delivering the printer to Boeing early in 2018.
