Solution	After extensive market analysis and testing of multiple printers, Vnukovo turned to Intermec by Honeywell to provide over 100 printer sets for the check-in counters. Each set consists of an Intermec by Honeywell PF4i for boarding passes and a PF2i for bag tags. The strong, all-metal construction and superior throughput for mission-critical environments made the PF4i and PF2i the ideal choice. The compact size ensured they fit the space-constrained area available on the check-in desks. The PF series is characterized by outstanding reliability and high-quality printing. The printers could easily cope with different media formats provided by various airlines, ensuring high-quality, reliable results. Airline staff could easily change the settings on the printers for quick operation with various paper formats. The ability to update software versions on the PF printers was also important, allowing the IT team to update software easily and conveniently. Read More Log in to view content
