SWECOIN US ANNOUNCES A NEW NARROW PRINTER FOR UNATTENDED APPLICATIONS

Swecoin to display TTP 2000 at KioskCom.com Show

MIDDLETOWN, RI – April 18, 2005 – Swecoin US Inc., the world’s leading designer of small footprint, highly reliable thermal kiosk printer solutions, today announced the introduction of a new adjustable thermal printer for narrow 2-inch printouts up to dollar bill-sized. The new printer, TTP 2000, offers unrivaled standard functionality at a lower price point.

The TTP 2000 is smaller than other 2-inch (58mm) printers yet handles up to 3.3-inch (82.5mm) paper. It is rugged and reliable, able to accommodate thicker “ticket-like” media. Standard features include Swecoin’s patented looping presenter, automatic pull detector, programmable retract function and significantly enhanced print speed.

“Our customers are excited about the TTP 2000 because it delivers everything you want from a product release: a host of new functionality, smaller footprint and a reduced price tag.” said Elaine Bresnick, President of Swecoin US. “We have been working on this new model for quite awhile, incorporating everything we have learned in our 22+ years of designing kiosk printers into a new product that could alter the landscape in our industry.”

TTP 2000 ON DISPLAY AT KIOSKCOM.COM SHOW

The TTP 2000 will be on display during the KioskCom.com Show in Las Vegas, April 18-20, 2005. It will be available for viewing inside Swecoin US’s booth #730 and Swecoin representatives will be on hand to discuss the features as well as various methods for incorporating the new printer into upcoming kiosk deployments.
