Description
Cembre MG3 Marking Genius Thermal Transfer Printer
The Cembre Marking Genius MG3 has been discontinued and superseded by the new Cembre MG4.
The MG3 earned an excellent reputation as a reliable industrial thermal transfer printer for cable markers, terminal markers, switchboard labels and electrical component identification.
While new MG3 printers are no longer available, Engineering Supplies continues to service and support existing MG3 printers in Australia, with spare parts, ribbons, consumables and technical assistance available.
For customers looking to purchase a new printer, the Cembre MG4 is the current replacement for the MG3 and provides the same core Cembre marking system with significant improvements in connectivity, usability, portability and print management.
Cembre MG3 Has Been Replaced by the MG4
The Cembre MG4 Marking Genius is the latest generation of Cembre’s sheet-format thermal transfer marking system and directly supersedes the MG3.
The MG4 retains the high-quality thermal transfer printing and broad range of electrical identification media that made the MG3 popular, while introducing major improvements including:
- Large integrated touchscreen
- Wi-Fi and LAN connectivity
- Wi-Fi Direct
- USB connectivity
- GeniusPro Mobile support
- Remote print project management
- Optional 18V battery operation
- Improved Ribbon Save System
- Modernised print and project management
If you are searching for a MG3 printer to replace or expand an existing system, the MG4 is the current Cembre printer we recommend.

MG3 Ribbons and Consumables Remain Available
An important advantage for existing MG3 users is that the MG3 and MG4 share Cembre’s established sheet-format marking system.
The MG2-ETR printer ribbon used by the MG3 can also be used with the MG4, and the Cembre MG range of marking consumables continues to provide solutions for:
- Cable and wire markers
- Terminal block markers
- Pushbutton and indicator legends
- PLC markers
- Component identification
- Switchboard and panel labels
- Equipment identification
- Warning and information labels
This means organisations with an existing MG3 do not need to abandon their Cembre marking consumables when upgrading to an MG4.

Why Upgrade from MG3 to MG4?
The MG3 remains a highly regarded printer, but the MG4 provides a significant upgrade for modern switchboard and industrial marking applications.
The MG4 adds network connectivity, touchscreen operation, mobile print management and optional battery operation while maintaining compatibility with the extensive Cembre sheet-format marking range.
For switchboard builders, panel builders, OEMs and electrical contractors already familiar with the MG3, upgrading to the MG4 provides a straightforward path to the latest Cembre marking technology without changing to an entirely different identification system.
