Dymo 400 as a Revolutionary Label Printer
As we know, basic label printer applicators consist of three primary parts: a printer, or print engine, an applicator and a method to handle label and ribbons, referred to as media. Computing power also has the potential to increase the efficiency of label printer applicators.
A print engine’s primary function is to accept data from a computer and print the data onto a label for application. This printing can be accomplished using either the direct thermal method or the thermal transfer method. Both methods heat up very fine elements (up to 600 per inch) on a print head. Direct thermal burns the image onto the face of specially designed label stock. This is the preferred method for shipping labels and is also very popular in Europe.
The thermal transfer process utilizes a ribbon coated with wax, resin, or a hybrid of the two. It is then heated and melted onto the surface of the label substrate. Thermal transfer is the most popular method in the United States. The printer knows what to print via data communication from an outside software package, much like common inkjet printers. The software delivers data formatted in a specific layout and the printer reads the format based on its own driver.
Nowaday, a quality label printer machine should be a part of every business or organization or even for personal use. Label printers come in two basic forms, stand alone label printers and those which are attached to your PC. Their basic function, as the name would suggest, is to print labels, although today’s label printers are capable of printing out more than just labels. You can create card stock and business cards, and some will even offer you the option to use your label printer as a multi use label printer for a significant price tag. The market has a strong value for label printers, including but certainly not limited to using label printers to create shipping labels and other regularly used business items.
Whether you are looking to create simple but effective packaging labels or return address labels that are derived of butterflies and kittens for a more professional look, a personal label printer can add a great deal to your personal packaging requirements. Additionally, a personal label printer is versatile enough to receive, on average two to five uses per week for those who own them.
The new versions of the personal or desktop label printers have finally replaced the sticky backed plastic labels of the eighties and offer the user a wide range of label sizes. Because they are printed on the top of the label rather than pounded out from behind the plastic the traditional raised surface and the eventual fading that these labels were known for is history. Any of the aforementioned models of label printers can be purchased as a laser printing unit, although the most common printers are those that utilize some sort of thermal, or heat, related printing process. This basically means that the unit superheats the ink within a confined space in order to produce a cleaner mark on the label. The heat creates an instant and permanent bond to the paper so that smudging and smearing are no longer a concern. By the time the label is printed the ink has already cooled to make sure that the labels are clear and of high quality
Many label maker reviews said that direct thermal units do not create the same long lasting quality as the thermal transfer units. Direct thermal label printers have a shorter shelf life and the quality can start to deteriorate (directly on the label) within a year. For short term label use, like labeling packed boxes within a factory, these types of label printers can be perfectly suitable. However, for a quality label that lasts for a longer period of time before fading one would want to opt for the thermal transfer unit instead.
Nowaday, there is a revolutionary range of products designed to make label printing faster, easier and more affordable than ever before producing a wider variety labels specific to your needs. What it is? The answer is called Dymo 400!
The new Dymo Labelwriter 400 series are the next generation in desktop Label Printers. The Dymo LabelWriter 400 is a direct thermal printer, meaning that it does not require toner or ink cartridges. The only consumables for this printer are the label forms themselves. Thermal printing is done at 300 dots per inch (dpi) for high quality and easy readability.
Out of the box, the printer easily integrates with your word processor, customer relationship management (CRM) software, email client, or database. For custom-developed application integration, Dymo includes a software development kit (SDK) so that your programmers can create any necessary modifications to support this printer.
So I can conclude that if you want to print your data faster and produce very sophisticated labels with images, logos or even bar codes, you must choose Dymo 400!
