DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2006--Koehler Paper Group, the leading global provider of thermal paper, has signed an agreement with NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR) to license NCR's simultaneous two-sided thermal-paper technology. This license gives Koehler the ability to sell two-sided thermal paper to any paper converter worldwide.

NCR's patented two-sided printing process reduces paper-roll receipt usage by as much as 50 percent and provides additional operational savings on freight, storage, disposal and roll changes. In addition to cost savings, two-sided paper also provides a host of environmental benefits.

"Two-sided paper has the potential of transforming the thermal-paper market," said Koehler Managing Director Klaus Furler. "We are pleased that Koehler is NCR's first paper licensee."

In addition to point-of-sale applications, two-sided thermal-receipt printing can also be used for banking applications, event ticketing, self-service kiosks and more.

"As businesses begin to reap the real operational benefits of this technology, we expect a shift to two-sided receipt printing as the standard for business transactions moving forward," said Peter Dorsman, vice president and general manager of NCR's Systemedia Division, a leading provider of printer consumables. "We believe a company of Koehler's stature becoming the first licensee underscores the technology's growth potential."

NCR is offering commercially-attractive licensing terms to other printer manufacturers and paper mills interested in its two-sided thermal-printing technology. For more information on NCR's license program, contact them at two.sided@ncr.com.
