How to Choose a Label Printer
When considering purchasing a label printer to make safety signs and labels for your workplace, there are several factors to consider. These include the durability of the label, the printing resolution, the sizes of the labels and signs you'll need, and whether you need to do other types of labeling in your facility.
Label & Sign Durability
Label and sign durability is also effected by the type of ribbon, the label material and the adhesive. All of these are discussed on our page that covers label materials. The type of label supplies used will also effect UV (sunlight), water, weather, temperature and chemical resistance.
Printing Resolution
The resolution of your label printer will effect the clarity of the your labels and signs. Thermal printers are available in a variety of resolutions. Although lower resolutions may be fine for general purpose labels, we recommend using a 200 dpi or greater printer. Both the DuraLabel PRO 300 and the DuraLabel 9000 print at professional quality 300 dpi. Printing at high resolution will ensure that small print, pictograms and bar codes will be clear and easy to read.
