What Size Labels Can Be Printed?
Before purchasing a barcode printer, necessary research should be done, and criteria such as the types of materials to be printed on, monthly print volumes, etc., should be determined to choose the most suitable industrial barcode printer models. For example, if it will be used in clothing stores to print price barcodes on products, and if the average monthly print volume is considered to be 1000 pieces, it is recommended to opt for a desktop barcode printer. If the monthly print volumes are high, an industrial barcode printer will both facilitate operations and always provide an advantage in usage. The difference between desktop and industrial devices lies in the lifespan of the thermal head and the label capacity. Most
industrial barcode printers are a maximum of 104mm in width, and printing on these products is easily done. In some models, printing is also carried out smoothly and with high quality up to widths of 170mm and 219mm.
How to Extend the Lifespan of the Thermal Head?
To extend the lifespan of the thermal head in industrial barcode printer models, using the most suitable materials that will not cause dust accumulation on the head, appropriate for the printer types, will both extend the head's life and ensure maximum quality of the prints. The printer head should be cleaned with an alcohol wipe at short intervals, which prevents the buildup of ribbon and label particles that can cause scratches on the printer head. Avoid any intervention with the printer head yourself, otherwise, different unwanted problems may arise.
