What is a self-adhesive label
Compared with traditional labels, self-adhesive labels have the advantages of no need to brush glue, no need to paste, no need to dip in water, no pollution, saving labeling time and so on, with wide application range and convenience. Self-adhesive is a kind of material, also called self-adhesive label material, which is a composite material with paper, film or other special materials as the fabric, adhesive coated on the back and silicon-coated protective paper as the backing paper. After printing, die cutting and other processing, it becomes a finished label.
Classification of self-adhesive label printers
The commercial type is used in offices, small factories, jewelry industries and other occasions where the printing volume is relatively small, and when the printing volume is less than 2, sheets a day. The mechanical structure of commercial label self-adhesive label printers is mainly composed of plastics, which has considerable advantages in price. At present, industrial printers can be said to be divided into three parts, with some domestic mainstream brands and scattered brands respectively.
Mainstream brands of self-adhesive label printers
In western developed countries, label application technology has developed for a long time, and American and Japanese enterprises have obvious advantages in technology and brand, so these countries have almost monopolized the global self-adhesive for a long time. At present, the mainstream brands are: American ZEBRA, Yitengmai INTERMEC, AVERY, dimas DATAMAX, etc. European brands: Cab,PaxaMonarch; Japanese brands: Sato Sato, Toshiba Tiger TEC, Citizen Citizen Citizen; Taiwan Province: Taiwan Province Semiconductor TSC, Kecheng Godex, Lixiang Argox
Which brand of self-adhesive label printer is better
First, choose different levels of self-adhesive label printers according to the daily printing volume
First of all, the daily printing volume directly determines which level of self-adhesive label printer to choose.
Self-adhesive label printers are generally divided into commercial and industrial grade. It is established in the industry that commercial printers are enough for users who print about 3,,4 sheets or less every day; The daily printing volume exceeds 5, sheets, and it is often printed continuously. It is recommended to use an industrial printer.
second, according to the requirements of printing accuracy, the width is required to buy a self-adhesive label printer
The accuracy of self-adhesive label printers can be divided into three types: 23 dpi, 3 dpi and 6 dpi. DPI is the abbreviation of DotsPerInch, which is the resolution unit of the printer, that is, the number of dots that can be printed per inch. This is one of the main parameters to measure the printing accuracy of the self-adhesive label printer. Generally speaking, the larger the value, the higher the printing accuracy of the printer and the better the definition. At present, 23 dpi and 3 dpi precision printing are common in China, but 6dpi can also be seen when printing very fine barcodes or fonts and graphics with very small font sizes.
3. Choose different shapes and colors of self-adhesive label printers according to the use environment.
The appearance, volume and color of products are also important factors that many users pay attention to when buying. Many users not only attach importance to the functionality of products, but also hope that they have fashionable appearance and size suitable for the location where they need to be placed, and try to complement each other with the overall style of the use environment, making it pleasing to the eye and more convenient for operators to use.
Fourth, choose and buy a self-adhesive label printer with a long warranty and after-sales service
Because it is an industrial product, users need to learn and understand when buying and using a self-adhesive label printer. In use, once there is a problem, it needs timely and professional after-sales service. If it is a printer hardware problem, it needs to be returned to the factory for maintenance. Therefore, when considering the purchase, we should also know the warranty period of the self-adhesive label printer and whether the after-sales service is convenient.
Five, scattered brands
Because many manufacturers often don't know what brands and specifications are really needed when looking for self-adhesive label printers, and sellers often recommend some products with high profits but not necessarily the most suitable ones for their own profits, some companies often buy some products with low domestic market share. Although these products are of good quality, maintenance and so on are often not satisfied.
