Choosing a Manual Imprinter

Just like all credit card terminals are not all alike, neither are manual imprinters. There are a variety of situations where a manual imprinter may need to be used and different imprinters are designed for these different situations. Below we explore the different needs a merchant may have for their imprinter and which manual imprinters might be best for those situations.

Portability

A common reason for a merchant to use a manual imprinter is because they are a mobile business that travels to their customers to a location where they can meet like trade shows or flea markets. In these cases having a manual imprinter that is portable is ideal. No one wants to lug around any more then they have to especially a manual imprinter.

Fortunately there are imprinters specifically designed to be small and convenient to transport. The Handheld Imprinter model is a miniature version of a standard manual imprinter. It is made of durable materials yet is light and very small.

Durability

Not all merchants operate in a typical environment. Some travel frequently and need an imprinter that can handle the rigors of frequent travel. Others operate in a rough environment such as an industrial site or automotive repair shop. These merchants need an imprinter that can survive the rough treatment these environments offer. The first name every merchant should think of when they think of durability with manual imprinters is El Metal. El Metal creates their imprinters with durability in mind. Their imprinters are primarily made of metal, with minimal usage of plastics. The result is a series of extremely strong and durable imprinters.

No Portability but Frequently Used

Merchants who operate out of one location and use their manual imprinters frequently need an imprinter that is durable and easy to use. Pumphandle imprinters offer an very easy to use mechanism and ensures quality imprints with every pull of the handle. The Pump Handle Imprinter offers a good solution at a good price while offering the highest quality of performance.
