Labelprinters : flathead of near-edge
You want to print a label. That sounds simple. And it is, if you take a number of basic rules into account.
Some of the questions you can ask yourself are:
- What is the purpose of the label (product identification, traceability, transport, …)?
- On what do I want to stick the label, on which surface: box, blister, directly on food or textile …?
- How long should the text remain visible on the label: 3 days – 3 years?
- Where will the label be used: indoors, outdoors, in a humid environment, …?
- Are there other environmental factors that can have an impact, eg chemical environment?
All these and more parameters are important to determine whether you want to print a label thermally (without ribbon) or transfer (with ribbon). And if you want to print with ribbon, which print technology is most suitable: flathead or near-edge.
For a first insight into these factors, you can take a look at the attached document. That will put you a long way.
And for all questions that go even deeper, the Marisan team is at your disposal with advice and help!
