Which brand of barcode printer is good?
Which brand of label printer is good? From different perspectives, there are different options. Now, let's take a brief look at the label printer. In general, label printers are mainly classified into commercial and industrial types; commercial models are used in offices, small factories, and jewelry industries where the printing volume is relatively small, and the printing volume per day is less than 2,000 sheets. The mechanical structure of commercial label printers is mainly composed of plastics, which has considerable advantages in price. Industrial printers can be said to be three-point worlds, with some domestic mainstream brands and scattered brands.

Barcode printer classification
What kind of bar code printer is judged by which judgment?
Number of prints
If you need to print more than 1000 labels per day, you need a high-volume industrial grade printer with a solid metal casing, such as the Zebra 105SL, XiII series, and more. For smaller prints, you can use a desktop personal printer series such as the Zebra ZM4, ZM6, etc.
Label size
A typical bar code printer can print 4" X6" tags, which is in line with the current shipping label specifications. You can also flexibly print labels of different sizes according to your needs. For printing wider labels, you can choose between 170Xi and 220Xi models.
Label content
If you only need to print barcodes and text, a general barcode printer will do the job. But if you need to print different barcodes (such as the item number) or text (such as shipping labels) for each label, and you don't want to stop printing in the middle, you need a printer with a 32-bit processor, which can greatly improve Productivity. In addition, if you want to print high quality images on the label, you can consider using a 300dpi print head for better results.
Printing speed
Different styles of printers have different printing speeds, depending on the user's speed requirements. Generally, bar code printers print at 2′′-6′′ per second, while higher speed printers (such as the Zebra Xi III series) can print 8′′-12′′ per second. If you need to print a large number of tags in a short time. A high-speed printer is more suitable.
Different industry applications
Printers used on production lines or in warehouses should be of a sturdy model with a metal casing, such as the Zebra 105SL and Xi series; and a desktop personal printer series, such as the Zebra Z4M, Z6M, etc., can be selected at the point of sale or office because Less space is required and it is easy to move.
