Laserband And SAMSUNG Partner To Offer Hospitals Ultra-Reliable Printing Directly On Patient Wristbands

amsung Electronics America, Inc., and LaserBand are partnering to make patient identification easier than ever for hospitals. The companies have created a special bundled solution for the healthcare market that includes LaserBand’s new LaserBand2® specialty media and the most robust monochrome laser printer in Samsung’s line, the award winning ML-3561N network-ready laser printer. The bundled solution is now available to existing VARs.

LaserBand’s unique media allows a hospital patient identification band to be printed directly on a laser printer while maintaining the integrity of the image throughout a patient’s stay. These wristbands contain crucial information such as name, account numbers, bar codes, and photo. Samsung’s ML-3561N laser printer is a 35 page-per-minute network ready monochrome laser printer. The LaserBand / Samsung solution reduces admissions processing time by printing all patient information using a standard Samsung laser printer. Because it uses regular 8-1/2″ x 11″ format, or other standard sizes, there is no need for a special paper tray to obtain trouble-free sheet feeding.

“Now that Samsung’s laser printers have broken the 35 ppm barrier, the Healthcare market has taken great interest in our printer line, and in 2006, we are putting a great deal of concentration on how our products can support this particular industry,” says Tony Venice, Senior Business Solutions Manager, Samsung Electronics America, Information Technology Division. “LaserBand’s media is revolutionary in that patient I.D. information can be laser printed directly onto the wrist band, clearly and with no danger of any compromise to the quality or lifespan of the image. ”
