Barcode Printing Guide

Thermal based barcode printers provide a very economical way to create high-quality labels, tags, wristbands, receipts, and tickets. Compared to other printing technologies, thermal-based options require less maintenance, have less expensive media, and print faster while maintaining excellent print quality.

Since these types of printers are different from your typical laser or inkjet printers, it can be a challenge to know which one will fit your business best. The first step in finding the right printer is to identify your specific need(s):

• Where will the printer be used? Is it a rugged environment? • What kind of media will you make? Labels, tags, wristbands, receipts, or tickets? • How often will you print? • Will the printer be in a fixed or mobile application?
