When choosing a label printer, you need to consider the following key factors:
Printing principle: Thermal transfer and thermal sensitivity are two common printing technologies. The printing effect of the thermal transfer printer is good, the label is covered with film, waterproof and sunscreen, and the writing is stored for a long time (more than ten years), but the price is relatively high. The thermal printer price is relatively low, but the printing effect may not be as good as the thermal transfer printer, and the storage time is shorter.
Print quantity: If you need to print less than 1000 labels per day, it is recommended that you buy a normal desktop barcode printer. If you need to print a lot, you may want to consider other types of printers.
Machine size and portability: Label printers are divided into "desktop printers", "portable printers" and "floor copiers". Among them, the portable printer is small in size, low noise, and lower power consumption, which is suitable for users who need to print "small labels".
The choice of consumables: try to choose a label machine with three anti-oil processes (waterproof, anti-heat, anti-wear), which can ensure the durability and quality of the label. In addition, consider whether to remove BPA, as this is healthier and safer. For thermal transfer printers, the cost of consumables may be slightly higher, but the overall effect is better.
Connection method: It is recommended to choose a wireless Bluetooth label printer, which can get rid of the cable bondage and is more convenient to use.
Budget: Last but not least, you need to consider your budget and look for the best value for money based on that.
