Desktop printers tend to be compact in size and are great for applications where less than 2,000 labels per day need to be printed. These printers are available using direct thermal or thermal transfer technology and vary greatly in the amount of performance and features that they offer.
Desktop printers can be used in a huge range of applications including retail, shipping, logistics, government, hospitals, labs, manufacturing and electronics.
A number of these printers have technology that allow them to run in standalone applications without the need for a PC connection making them ideal for use in countless applications. Combined with the available Wifi and Bluetooth connections the possibilities for applications is endless.
Industrial printers can print many thousand labels per day on the other hand, and are better suited to industrial/manufacturing environments or those that operate 24/7.
Whichever you choose, printers can be supplied with a host of options that include cutters, dispensers and external label unwind stations. Printers are available with 203dpi, 300dpi and 600dpi print resolution to cover all applications.
