If your box office provides printed tickets or card receipts to customers, you’ll need at least one Ticket Printer. This article looks at the options available and how to choose and order a Ticket Printer.

The article also provides links to help you install your Ticket Printer.

This article is for Spektrix users in the UK and Ireland. Users in the US and Canada should refer to Ordering a Ticket Printer (US and Canada).

 

Choosing a Printer

You can connect a range of Ticket Printers to Spektrix. Most organisations choose BOCA or Stimare printers.

You should consider the following when deciding upon which model is best for your organisation:

  • Size of printer - how much space is available in your box office
  • Whether you need the printer to cut tickets
  • Speed of printing

TIP: The printers below are all compatible with Spektrix. Using the same model across your organisation will ensure that all units work with your existing ticket designs.

 

Stimare Printers

Stimare SML, CMP and CLS printers both work with Spektrix. 

WARNING: Stimare CMP 200dpi and CMP 300dpi Printers are currently out of stock until approximately September

You can view the SML, CMP and CLS printers on the Stimare website.

  • The Stima SML printer is the smaller of the three models, measuring 8.7cm in height, 11.9cm width and 13.4cm in length. It has a printing speed of up to 20.0cm per second.

Stimare SML and CMP printers don’t have a cutter so you will need to tear tickets manually after printing.

Stimare printers have a 24 month manufacturer's warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failure during normal use.

 

BOCA Printers

The BOCA printers most widely chosen by Spektrix Users are the Lemur X and Lemur C printers.

You can see the range of Lemur X and Lemur C printers on the manufacturer’s website.

  • The Lemur X printer is the smaller of the printers measuring 10.2cm in height, 11.1cm in width and 12.6cm in length. It has a printing speed of up to 25.0cm per second.
