Product & service range

10 ranges supplied and supported by Metro-Sol.

01Line Matrix Printers

Printronix line matrix printers are engineered for continuous, high-speed printing of multi-part carbonless forms in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution environments where reliability under heavy daily use is essential. They are built to withstand dust, vibration, and extended duty cycles far beyond typical office printers. Metro-Sol supplies and supports these units for Zimbabwean businesses running demanding, forms-intensive print workloads.

02Dot Matrix Printers

Printronix dot matrix (serial) printers provide a compact, cost-effective option for multi-part form and label printing where line matrix throughput is not required. They remain a proven choice for smaller-volume, forms-based printing tasks in office and light industrial settings. Metro-Sol supplies these units alongside compatible ribbons and support.

03Ribbons

Genuine Printronix ribbons are formulated to match the print speed and duty cycle of Printronix line and dot matrix printers, ensuring consistent print density across long, multi-part form runs. Using OEM-matched ribbons helps protect printhead life and avoid the smudging or fading that off-brand consumables can cause. Metro-Sol stocks and supplies these ribbons for ongoing printer operation.

04Installation and Configuration

Metro-Sol provides on-site installation and configuration of Printronix printers, including network setup, driver installation, and print settings tuned to the customer's forms and workflow. Correct initial setup reduces print errors and ensures the printer integrates smoothly with existing business systems. This service is available across Metro-Sol's corporate client base in Harare and beyond.

05Repairs and Maintenance

Metro-Sol's technical team carries out diagnostics, repairs, and scheduled maintenance on Printronix printers to minimise unplanned downtime in high-usage environments. Preventive maintenance extends the working life of print mechanisms that operate under continuous, heavy-duty conditions. Support is backed by access to genuine Printronix parts.

06Consumables Supply

Metro-Sol maintains stock of ribbons, print media, and other consumables required to keep Printronix printers running without interruption. Reliable local supply means customers avoid production delays caused by waiting on imported consumables. Orders can be arranged on a recurring basis to match usage volumes.

07Cartridges

Metro-Sol supplies genuine Printronix ribbon cartridges sized and rated for specific printer models, ensuring correct fit and consistent print quality. Using the correct cartridge type protects the printhead and avoids the mechanical issues that mismatched consumables can cause. Cartridges are available for both line matrix and dot matrix Printronix models.

08Labels

Metro-Sol supplies compatible label stock for use with Printronix printers in logistics, warehousing, and inventory applications where durable, high-volume label printing is required. Correctly specified label media ensures reliable feed and adhesion through continuous print runs. Stock is matched to the printer model and intended use case.

09Printer Parts

Metro-Sol sources genuine Printronix replacement parts — such as printheads, platens, and mechanical components — to support repairs and extend the operational life of installed printers. Access to authentic parts avoids the reliability issues that come with generic substitutes. This supports both scheduled maintenance and urgent repair needs.
