Many customers are not very clear about the difference between a self-adhesive printer and an ordinary printer. How to choose a printer?
Self-adhesive printer is a special equipment for printing barcode labels.
The barcode label printer has two printing methods: thermal printing and thermal transfer. Thermal printing and thermal transfer are the best barcode printing technologies because they can be easily applied to a variety of adhesive label materials to print out one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes or patterns and text fonts.
Both methods use barcode print heads to heat the printing surface. Thermal transfer transfers the toner to a variety of materials to print durable and long-lasting patterns by heating the ribbon. Thermal printing does not use ribbon, but directly heats the ink on the label material to produce patterns.
Due to the difference in mechanical structure and consumable loading methods, barcode printers can print stickers, tickets, certificates and other labels at high speed. The labels used by bar code printers are generally in roll form, and each roll can reach a length of 150 meters. The printer with the highest printing speed can reach 300mm/s, and the most portable printer can reach 100mm/s.
Comparison of self-adhesive printer and ordinary printer
Ordinary printers generally load paper sheet by sheet, and the printing speed is slow.
Self-adhesive printers can print thicker labels, such as some certificates or clothing tags, etc. Generally, ordinary printers cannot load thicker paper.
Self-adhesive printers can print stickers for a long time and can tolerate a certain amount of glue overflow. If the ordinary printer has overflow glue, it is easy to damage the printer.
Self-adhesive printers can print for a long time, high-end industrial printers can print continuously for 24 hours, and ordinary printers cannot print for a long time.
Self-adhesive printers are generally more expensive than ordinary printers.
According to the above comparison, the self-adhesive printer and the ordinary are suitable for different occasions.
Where a large number of labels need to be printed, especially in factories and logistics, where a large number of labels need to be printed in a short time, special labels (such as PVC materials, waterproof materials), and ready-to-use (such as ticket offices, etc.) are required. Dry glue printer.
In places where label printing is small and mostly one-time printing (such as the financial office), laser printing can be selected.
In other words, if you often print a large number of labels, or have special requirements for labels, and your financial resources allow, you should choose a sticker printer; if your label printing volume is not very large, and you don’t want to spend too much financial resources , You can choose an ordinary laser printer.
Excellent label printers can reduce the investment in production time. With fast packaging machinery, reduce manual errors and time investment. In this era of money, we will strive for effective time for you. At the same time, the clear printing of information such as two-dimensional codes also enables this fast era to obtain more effective product information through small labels, so that end customers can get trust and more detailed product information when they get the product.
