What to Consider Before Purchasing a Barcode Printer



The investment into a barcode printer is an easy way to improve productivity and lower overhead costs. Barcodes reduce human error with the elimination of manual price entry and cuts down on training costs and costs mere pennies per label. These printers are specifically designed to print labels that can easily be attached to products and packaging. Before purchasing one there are things to consider:

Size - Barcode printers come in two sizes, desktop and industrial versions. Desktop printers are smaller and can be kept on the desk and come in 2 inch to up to 6 inchlabel widths. These are suited for manufacturing, distribution, healthcare and logistics applications among many others.

Resolution - Resolution refers to how sharp the image will be once it's printed. The first step is to determine what you will be printing. A regular resolution printer, 203 dpi, is ideal for printing most barcodes and shipping labels. A higher resolution printer, i.e. 300 or 600 dpi, is needed if the barcodes are denser or you wish to add graphics to the label. This would require a higher resolution printer.
