Buying guides and articles
- Which Barcode Printer Do You Need? Desktop vs Industrial vs Mobile, and Thermal Transfer vs Direct ThermalPick the printer class by volume and location: desktop for low to medium volumes at a counter or office, industrial for high-volume work in harsh settings, and mobile for printing on the shop floor or at a customer's door. Then choose direct thermal for short-life labels and thermal transfer for durable ones.
- How Do You Choose Barcode Labels and Ribbons? Thermal Transfer vs Direct Thermal MediaMatch the media to how long the label must last. Direct thermal labels need no ribbon and suit short-life jobs such as shipping labels and receipts. Thermal transfer labels use a ribbon and last longer: wax for paper, wax/resin for tougher paper and matte synthetic labels, resin for synthetic labels in harsh conditions.
- What Is BarTender Label Software, and Which Edition Do You Need?BarTender is label design and printing software from Seagull Software. It designs barcode labels, RFID tags and cards, pulls data from databases and business systems, and automates printing. Over 250,000 companies use it, and it supports over 12,000 printer drivers. Editions range from Starter for one designer to Enterprise for controlled, multi-site printing.
