Desktop Label Printer – Improve The Productivity Of Any Business

Unlike other components of a point of sale system, label printers are an essential part of your point of sale system too. These printers are almost like a computer printer but compact in size. They also have the capability of printing on self-adhesive paper which is more like a computer system itself and an in-built keyboard with a display unit.

Desktop Label Printers have a particular feed mechanism wherein the printing papers are used for printing labels. This printer can be connected via Universal Serial Bus (USB), serial, parallel, Ethernet and wireless system.

Label printers are extensively used at the various point of sale systems, such as retail stores, blood test centres, grocery stores, food marts and places where different products and items are packed. In fact, a single type of label applies to a similar range of products or items. A label includes, in particular, the product type, product weight, product rate, date of packing and its expiry date (just in a case of perishable items).

The printing material that is used for printing in label printers is label printer paper, artificial polymer, or plastic. Thermal printing is the most commonly used print mechanism for label printers. Thermal printers are of two types, in particular. Direct Thermal Label Printers use thermal fax papers and these papers are sensitive to heat. Above all, direct thermal labels have a short life which means they get faded or erased within a limited period. These labels start fading off their ink when they are exposed to direct heat or sunlight, whereas thermal transfer printers have the capability of providing permanent print on labels. In these printers, the thermal heat is used to transfer ink from ribbon to the paper.

Desktop Label Printers have an inbuilt sensor to detect the probable gap caused due to extensive printing. The sensor makes sure that the labels are correctly aligned, and the quality of the print will remain to be perfect. These printers are cost-effective and can print in large volume.
