The Octopus 120 series and 200 series greyscale printers* produce high quality continuous images onto thermal paper or film and are ideal for hardcopy output of geophysical data (sidescan and seismic) and other continuous data.

With a wide range of interface options including parallel (centronics), compatible with most PC-based acquisition systems, plus three channel analogue with full independent triggers, the Octopus 120 and 200 series greyscale printers are easily interfaced with commonly used data sources. Uniquely, the three channel capability, with fully independent channel settings allows simultaneous displayof data such as seismic andsidescan. Both models offer 200 dpi print resolution at up to 256 grey levels, with 2368 pixel print width (120 series) and 4096 pixel print width (200 series) enabling data to be printed at very high resolutions. With 20% greater print width than many other similar models, the Octopus 120 is able to print three channels without compromising resolution.

Thermal Media
Thermal media supplied by CodaOctopus is extensively tested for print quality and is the only type we recommend not only to guarantee the best results but to avoid print head fouling problems.

Low cost paper from other sources has been found to produce poor print quality and grainy results with the possibility of fouling the print head within less than one roll. Statistics show that when the head is harder to clean, the likelihood of damage is significantly increased, especially when cleaning is carried out by less experienced operators.

Ordering Paper
Supplies of 12" thermal printer paper are available from £18 per roll (US$35, €27) with a minimum order requirement of 10 rolls. Other paper sizes and formats as well as thermal film are also available; please contact our sales team for details.
