Market Synopsis

A high capacity flatbed ticket printer by InfoPoint developed a mechanism to ensure the fully printed tickets before issuing, resulting in a reduction of ticket paper wastage and operator cost. Custom SpA produces a variety of event ticketing printers including barcodes, and RFID to provide the SMART ticket. New technologies are being developed used to produce the tickets by just connecting the printing terminal with a smartphone containing the print roll and ink ribbon. However, tickets printers continuously face the threat of increased mobile consumption and other advanced printers in the market. Most of the ticket printing is replaced by mobile or E-ticketing. It includes a barcode and a scanner at two ends to verify the ticket details.
