Thermal label printers are used every day across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, retail, healthcare and countless other industries.
Dust, adhesive residue, worn components and poor-quality consumables can gradually affect print quality and reliability. A few straightforward maintenance tasks can help prevent problems, extend the life of components and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime.
What you're labelling, where the product will be used, how long the label needs to last and the conditions it will encounter can all determine which label material, adhesive and ribbon you need.
A professionally refurbished commercial printer can provide a cost-effective alternative, particularly if you need a backup machine, want to add capacity to an existing printer fleet or need to replace an older model you are already familiar with.
Handheld scanners, wireless scanners, rugged devices, fixed scanners, 1D and 2D barcodes, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi – there are plenty of options available. But you don't necessarily need to understand every type of scanner before choosing one.
When a label printer stops working properly, the problem isn't always as serious as it first appears. Poor print quality, labels that won't feed and barcodes that won't scan can sometimes be caused by something as straightforward as a dirty printhead, incorrectly loaded media or unsuitable printer settings.
A printhead is a wear component. How long it lasts depends on how heavily the printer is used, the labels and ribbons passing beneath it, operating temperatures, cleanliness and how well the printer is maintained.
For most commercial label printers, an annual preventative service is a sensible starting point, but there isn't a single servicing schedule that suits every machine.
Direct thermal and thermal transfer are the two main technologies used for thermal label printing. Both use heat to create an image, but the way they do it – and the type of labels they produce – is different.
