If you are in the market for a label printer, it's important that you find one that offers excellent graphic capabilities with clean lines and true color reproduction. Labels are how your company communicates with the consumer, and they are often the first chance to make a strong impression. The right label printer will produce sharp, well-centered labels quickly and cost-effectively, whether you need 10 or 10,000.

You can find industrial-strength label printers. These machines are digital presses, meaning you can do small runs and still be cost-effective. You can make labels, photo ID cards, business cards, and other professional products easily, up to 50,000 at a time. Some of these machines offer seven-color web production, but there are other label printers that work with six-color production. Some of these industrial machines can work as bar code printers and cd label printers.

There are also smaller-run label printers. These machines can make product labels, greeting cards and postcards, and can act as zebra label printers (printing bar-coded labels). High quality printing at high speeds are the focus of these machines, and an extra-wide printing nozzle allows for printing of speeds up to 60 pages per minute.

There are laser label printers that run a 500MHz processor, and can be connected via USB or ethernet. These printers can produce labels, cards, envelopes, transparencies and more. In addition to these large-job label printers, you can also find hand-held models that produce one label at a time.
