Press Roller for TG3 Series SATO P28227000

P28227000 SATO Platen Roller (20×87) TG3XX – Precision and perfect pressure for quality printing

The P28227000 Platen Roller (20×87) is the original SATO platen roller, designed specifically for the TG3 Series printers (TG308 and TG312). This essential component plays a critical role in the printing process, ensuring optimal contact between the print head and the label material.

A perfectly healthy pressure roller means crisp printing, legible barcodes and consistent feeding . Conversely, a worn roller can lead to quality loss, incomplete lines or scan errors.

What does the Platen Roller do in a TG3 printer?

The platen roller is responsible for:

• Applying uniform pressure between the print head and the media
• Ensuring clear and uniform printing
• Maintaining correct label tension
• Reducing vibration and material slippage

Think of it as the “fulcrum” of the entire printing process. Without consistent pressure, quality immediately declines.

• SATO TG308 (203 dpi)
• SATO TG312 (305 dpi)
