How To buy barcode Printer

1. Printing
If you need to print more than 1,000 labels per day, you need a solid metal casing industrial-grade barcode printer, such as Sato cl408e/412e, cl608e/612e, etc. If the printing quantity is small, desktop personal printer series can be used, such as ct-400/410; In 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. Label size
General barcode printers can print 4 "X6" labels, which meet the current shipping label specifications. You can also flexibly print labels of different sizes according to your needs. If you need to print wider labels, you can choose cl608e/cl612e.
3. Label content
If you only need to print barcodes and text, general barcode label printers can do it. However, if you need to print a different barcode (such as a product number) or text (such as a shipping label) 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. Label Quality
The printing resolution of label printers 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 labels, you can consider choosing a 300dpi print head.
5. Printing speed
Different types of printers have different printing speeds, depending on the user's requirements for speed. The printing speed of a general barcode label printer (label machine) is 2″-6″/second per second, while the printing speed of a high-speed barcode label printer (such as m8400rve) can reach 10″/second. If you need to print a large number of labels in a short time, you should choose a high-speed barcode label printer.
6. Application in different industries
The barcode printer used in the production line or warehouse should be a physical model with a metal casing, such as sato408e/412e; at the point of sale or office, you can choose a desktop personal printer series, such as ct-400/410, because it occupies a small space and is easy to move; If it is a garment processing enterprise, it is best to choose xl400e/410e.
