Kiosk printer & self-service printing solutions
Replace Your Custom VKP80 III & II Without Redesigning Your Kiosk with APS EKP
APS EKP printers integrate into existing VKP80II and VKP80III enclosures with minimal changes — same mounting points, same bezel exit height, pin-compatible connectors.
Drop-in compatible form factor
Minimal integration effort
Long-term support
APS EKP Thermal Printer — Designed for Seamless Replacement of the VKP80 II & III
APS EKP printers, installed with their docking station, share the same mounting points as both the VKP80II and VKP80III. The bezel exit height is identical across all three printers, enabling a true drop-in replacement without modification or rework of the bezel.
- Drop-in compatible form factor — same mounting points and bezel exit height
- Minimal mechanical and electrical changes
- Pin-compatible connectors via the EKP–VKP80 III & II interconnection board
- Compatible with existing interfaces (USB-C, serial, power)
- 2x cutter lifespan vs. VKP80 (2,000,000 vs. 1,000,000 cuts)
- Wider operating range: −25°C to +70°C vs. −20°C to +70°C
- Toolless servicing vs. tool-required maintenance on VKP80
