Honeywell’s MP Series Industrial Label Printers are a set of rugged and easy-to-use industrial printers. The MP Series can do as much as the large industrial printers but only need a fraction of the space. With an all-metal casing that makes them ideal for harsh industrial environments, these Honeywell printers are quiet and small enough to operate in low noise environments, including offices or hospitals. The MP Series comes in two models, the MP Nova and the MP Compact.

The MP Nova printers occupy less than half the space of traditional industrial label printers allowing users to retain valuable work space. The MP Nova printers can be used in almost any orientation, including the ability to be mounted upside down. With Large, easy-to-manage levers, single-handed media removal, and open covers make the MP Nova the next generation in ergonomic printer engineering that saves money, time, and space.

The MP Compact has a small footprint and takes up little room in smaller crowded areas with ability to be mounted on walls, manufacturing lines, and mobile trolleys.
