Honeywell PM43 has been discontinued
With the Honeywell PM43 now discontinued, new units are no longer available. Yet many businesses still depend on PM43 printers for daily output. That makes planning essential: keep your current printers supported with the right parts, and choose a replacement model early to avoid rushed decisions during downtime.
At TTR, we help you maintain your PM43 setup today and upgrade smoothly to Honeywell’s current industrial printers when you’re ready.
Keep your PM43 running: printheads and parts are still available
A smart way to keep a PM43 running longer is to treat the printhead as a planned replacement part, rather than a surprise emergency. We continue to supply original PM43 printheads, as well as 4U compatible replacements, depending on your preference.
PM43 printheads and other parts you can still source via TTR:
-
Go to: PM43 203 dpi printhead (compatible or original option available, just select the one you prefer)
-
Go to: PM43 300 dpi printhead (compatible or original option available, just select the one you prefer)
- Go to: PM43 400 dpi printhead (only original available)
-
Need other parts for your PM43? Contact TTR and we will help you identify the right part quickly.
