KIC Products Launches a New Waffletechnology Product for the Thermal Printer Industry.

Auburn, ME., January 30, 2008 – KIC Products is pleased to announce the release of the Waffletechnology 4” Thermal Printer Cleaning Product. This advanced design employs state-of-the-art cleaning card ‘waffles’ and a proprietary cleaning solution that when used together are proven to be more effective than current cleaning methods and products. This combination of Waffletechnology™ and solution removes burned on paper flash and adhesive residue from both the thermal print head and the complete rotation of the feed rollers. The Waffletechnology™ 4” Thermal Printers Cleaning Product is sized to clean the thermal printers that print labels used in shipping parcels through UPS, FedEx and other major private shipping concerns.

“Thermal Printing is the staple means of producing shipping labels worldwide. The need for a better means of cleaning and therefore maintaining crisp and errorless barcode scans in the shipping industry is critical. This new design, along with a safe yet extremely effective cleaning solution, will be a tremendous asset to accurately moving shipments across the globe,” said Debra Ross Product Manager of KIC Products.

Thermal Printers are used in nearly every electronic transaction made worldwide. The Waffletechnology™ 4” Thermal Printers Cleaning Product is the first in a series of thermal printer cleaning products to be launched by KIC Products in 2008.

Peter Klein (President of KIC Products) says “The Waffletechnology 4” Thermal Printer Cleaning Product is a testament to the versatility of Waffletechnology. Our goal is to provide similar products for other Thermal Printers which print Airline Boarding Passes, Receipts, Medical Labels and more. Waffletechnology continues to provide a simple means to do a necessary and critical job.”

While KIC will manufacture the card, the distribution of the product will be done through the distribution channels of both Panini and KIC products. KIC Products manufactures cleaning cards including Waffletechnology products for magnetic card readers, bill acceptors, optical readers, “Smart Card” readers, thermal printers, ID card printers, ATMs, and POS terminal credit and check readers. With over 25 years experience KIC Products utilizes the latest technology to custom engineer quality products to clean today’s highly sensitive and technical equipment.
