What is the difference between a barcode printer and a general printer? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Farewell to habitual occasions?

Now, there are two ways to print barcode labels: barcode printer printing method and software cooperation laser printer method. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its ideal application occasions.

1. Use a bar code printer to print:

Barcode printer is a kind of special equipment, generally there are thermal and thermal transfer printing methods, using special label paper and ribbon. Barcode printers have fast printing speeds, can print special materials (PVC, etc.), and can be extended with external cutters, etc., suitable for professional users who need a lot of label production.

2. Use barcode label design and printing software and laser printer to print:

Cooperating with a general printer and specialized barcode label design and printing software is another way to make barcode labels. The method can realize one machine with multiple functions, and the laser printer has high precision, strong graphic representation ability, and can print color labels. But its printing speed is slower, and the printable data is less.

3. According to the above comparison, the two have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are suitable for different occasions:

In places where a lot of printing labels are needed, especially where factories need to print a lot in a short period of time and require special labels (such as PVC materials, waterproof materials), and print on demand (such as ticket offices, etc.), barcode printers should be selected.

In local areas (such as libraries) where the label printing volume is small and most of them are printed at once (such as libraries), the laser printing method should be selected.

In some small shopping malls, small factories and other local areas, both methods can be selected.
