How to Pick a Color Label Printer for Industrial Label Printing
Canadian businesses of all types can benefit from color label printing, but not all need to print product labels. Canadian label manufacturer, DuraFast Label Company, understands this and stocks a large selection of industrial color label printers from Primera Technology, Epson, RTI Digital, Afinia Label, iSys Label, UniNet, VIPColor, and others.
Industrial label printing takes several forms. In general, industrial labels tend to have a lower print resolution than their product label printer counterparts due to their intended usage. They don’t need to look pretty, but they do need to stand up to the rigors of industrial use. For example, while you could use a high resolution Primera printer to print industrial bar codes or inventory tags, the ink costs would be excessive. Plus, you probably need a more durable label for industrial use in Canada.
Label printers suitable for printing shipping labels, inventory labels, office labels, barcodes, name tags and ID, event tickets, healthcare labels and general industrial labels include the following:
- Top Selling Epson Printer (Canada) Choices: Epson TM-C3400, Epson TM-C3400-LT, Epson TM-C3500, Epson TM-C7500 GHS
- Primera Printer (Canada) Choices: Primera LX2000
- NeuraLog Printer (Canada) Choices: NeuraLabel 300x
If you have an industrial Canada label intended for a chemical drum, you’ll need a GHS BS5609 label and suitable GHS label printer such as a GHS Epson printer. GHS BS5609 label printers produce labels that meet British Marine Standard 5609 (BS5609) for long-term immersion in saltwater and chemical exposure. The labels and their adhesives can withstand the harshest environmental conditions. We manufacture our own GHS BS5609 labels and sell them at our label store (Canada and USA stores available online).
