Editorial note
The Citizen CT-P293 printer stands out with its impressive printing speed of 150 mm/sec, providing optimal efficiency for everyday printing needs. Its durability is also a major asset, with an automatic cutter capable of making up to 1 million cuts, ensuring prolonged and reliable use.
