PARIS -- (Marketwired) -- 06/17/13 --
At the 2013 International Paris Air Show, Astro-Med, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ALOT) will demonstrate the new ToughWriter 5® flight deck
printer as well as new next-generation print technologies in the CCI /
FRENCH SME PAVILION, Hall 4, stand D 185 at Le Bourget from Monday 17
June - Sunday 23 June 2013. The ToughWriter 5 was
recently selected by Embraer as the flight deck printer for the new
KC-390 military transport aircraft, among several other unannounced
contracts.
Printing flight deck communications at a rate of just 5 seconds per page, Astro-Med's
ToughWriter 5 ruggedized airborne printer features the fastest print
speed in the industry as well as the highest print quality available in a
flight deck printer, with the capability to print both text and
graphics. This new model offers more efficient performance with lower
power consumption and less use of space than other ruggedized flight
deck printers. The ToughWriter 5 requires just 100 watts of power,
weighs less than 4 kilograms, and is just 185 mm deep, making it equally
suitable for business jets, commercial transports and larger military
transport aircraft.
Astro-Med will
also display new-to-the-industry printing technologies and wireless
connectivity options for its flight deck printers. The Company cordially
invites members of the industry to visit stand D185 and provide
feedback on these prototype designs.
