How To Choose Label Printer

1. Number of prints

If you need to print more than 1000 labels every day, you need a strong industrial grade printer with metal shell, such as Sato cl408e/412e, cl608e/612e, etc. If the number of prints is small, desktop personal printer series can be used, such as ct-400/410; In the point of sale or office, you can choose desktop personal printer series, such as Postek Q8 series, Postek C168 series, Postek g2108/g3106, zebra S400, S500, etc.

2. Size of label

General barcode printers can print 4 "X6" labels, which is in line with the current specifications of freight labels. You can also flexibly print labels of different sizes according to your own needs. If you need to print wider labels, you can choose cl608e/cl612e.

3. Content of label

If you only need to print barcode and text, the general barcode label printer can be competent. However, if you need to print different bar codes (such as product numbers) or words (such as shipping labels) for each label, and you don't want to stop printing halfway, you need a printer equipped with a 32-bit processor, which can greatly improve production efficiency.

4. Quality of labels

The printing resolution of label printer is generally divided into 203dpi, 300dpi and 600dpi; The higher the DPI value, the better the printing effect. If you want to print high-quality images on the label, you can consider choosing a 300dpi print head.

Different types of printers have different printing speeds, depending on the speed requirements of users. Generally, the printing speed of bar code label printer (label machine) is 2 ″ -6 ″ /sec per second, while the printing speed of high-speed bar code label printer (such as m8400rve) can reach 10 ″ /sec. If you need to print a large number of labels in a short time, you should choose a high-speed bar code label printer.

6. Application in different industries
