/fileadmin/user_upload/Produkttitelbilder/carl_valentin_etikettendrucker_pica_ii_titelbild_2020-11-30.jpg

High reliability in second generation

Reliability, universal applicability and an attractive price/performance ratio have made the Pica series the best selling product in recent years.


The compact and especially easy to operate label printers of the Pica II series provide maximum performance with excellent print quality. The printers are well suited for small to medium print volumes and for use in production, warehouses, offices or dispatch. In thermal direct or thermal transfer printing, address and shipping labels with bar codes are printed as flawlessly as labels with logos and fine graphics.
