Genuine consumables from Honeywell include labels, ribbons, RFID tags, and more for a wide variety of environments and labeling applications.

Depending on your needs, certain consumables and media may be a better choice than others. Here are some questions to consider for consumables, examples of different print media, and the latest Honeywell barcode label printers.

Genuine Consumables from Honeywell

Honeywell’s printer supplies are optimized for use with Honeywell printers, providing thermal printing solutions that simplify operations and lower total cost of ownership.

Whatever your print needs, ranging from barcode labels, media tags, and receipt paper to thermal media, RFID labels, and patient wristbands – using genuine Honeywell consumables and printer supplies allows for the very best performance.

Honeywell Barcode Label Printers

Honeywell’s latest industrial printers all improve operational productivity with minimal downtime. They print more labels at faster speeds, without compromising label quality or accuracy.

Many of the following printers can accomplish similar results and are highly recommended. Instead, we will point out the differences between Honeywell’s PM, PD, PX, and RP series.

For a personalized recommendation, don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.

PXie Series Printers Should be Replaced with PX45 or PX65

Honeywell announced in May 2022 that it will be discontinuing the PX4ie and PX6ie series of printers.

Anyone planning to upgrade this year should now consider the new PX45 and PX65 printers instead, expected to be available in August 2022.

These are very similar in spec to the PXie series printers, but are even more rugged and future proof. Improvements in the PX45 and PX65 include:

• Faster processing speed: CPU, FPGA and Motor controller upgrade
• Larger memory size: 256MB/512MB RAM/Flash upgrade
• RFID enhancement: new IM11 module included
• Connectivity enhancement: Ethernet 10/100/1000, high speed USB included
• All accessories compatible with PXie series printers

Both the PX45 and PX65 are durable, all-metal industrial printers, printing up to 12 inches per second from the first label to the last. Both printers boast at a resolution of 203 or 300 dpi, and the PX45 also has a resolution of 406 dpi. This is perfect for compliance labeling applications that need immediate results from dynamic datasets. The magnetic QuickMount™ printhead makes it easy and quick to change printheads.

Honeywell labels and other media are designed and tested with the PX45 and PX65 printers to make sure they work best with genuine Honeywell media.

PM45 and PD45 Printers

Both the PM45 and PD45 barcode label printers from Honeywell are worth a look for industrial and retail environments (especially the PD45s printer).

RP2e and RP4e Printers

By printing labels on demand, right where they’ll be used, this portable printer boosts efficiency and cuts down on mistakes. When compared to competing mobile printers, the RP4e’s advantages are clear: it has nearly twice the print speed media capacity, an improvement of one point in ANSI print quality, and superior battery power longevity thanks to our new Hi-drain battery.

This means that your employees will be able to get more done in less time without having to waste any of it waiting for media to load or changing batteries.

The RPe Series printer produces labels and receipts from 25.4 mm (1 in) to 104.1 mm (4.1 in) and supports a broad range of media, including the thick material required for hang tags and specialized labeling.

In addition, whether you’re working with a single media format or a combination of formats, the application’s quick and simple loading design means fewer interruptions and more productivity.

If you’re looking for long-range and lightning-fast data connectivity on your WL AN, look no farther than the RPe Series with its cutting-edge 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi capabilities. When employees need to print from locations outside of the WL AN’s range or use the printer with a Bluetooth mobile device, the printer’s built-in Bluetooth® 4.0 LE radio comes in handy at no extra cost. In addition, the printer supports NFC so that status and settings may be checked even when there is no access to the internet.

Both the RP2e and the RP4e printers from Honeywell are available now.

PX940 Printer

The powerhouse that is the PX940 still remains one of the best selling industrial label printers. See why the PX940 printer is chosen time and time again.

No matter your business size, barcodes are a part of everyday operations from inventory and asset tracking to any retail check-out.  A barcode is a straight-forward and accurate means to track anything through whatever process you may need. Depending on where in the product chain your business may be, some items may have barcodes already but more often than not you’ll need a flexible barcoding software to make the specific types of barcodes you need.

A it’s most basic, a barcode software will allow you to design and print a barcode with the specific data you need. It could be a simple product number, a unique asset ID, or shipping details for a package. Some barcoding software will provide additional features like the ability for 2D or stacked barcodes as well as automation capabilities from a database or Excel. No matter how simple or integrated of a software you may need, there is a barcoding software solution that can be set-up to accomplish any goal.

There’s a lot of buzz going around about the new Digimarc barcode that will change retail barcoding as we know it. So what exactly is so different about the Digimarc code?

The Digimarc code is based on imperceptible patterns that can be applied to marketing materials, including packaging, displays, ads in magazines, circulars, radio and television. This essentially makes the code invisible to everyone except digimarc enabled scanners and mobile devices. The code still contains the same type of data like a traditional UPC/EAN barcode but since it is imperceptibly repeated multiple times over an entire product package it’s faster, more reliable, more versatile, and more secure than traditional UPC/EAN symbols and occupies zero space on the package.

With the Digimarc barcode, checkout clerks, as well as shoppers using self-checkout, can easily and quickly scan items without having to hunt for the barcode. Plus, packaging carrying Digimarc Barcodes can connect mobile-enabled shoppers with additional product information, special offers, recommendations, reviews, social networks, and more with a simple scan. The benefits also extend to shoppers using self-checkout, providing a faster, more enjoyable, and efficient experience.

The face of barcoding is constantly evolving and Barcodes Inc will always be your reliable partner. For more information about Digimarc codes and how to implement them in your business, contact one of Auto-ID specialists.

For a leading ISO 13485:2003-certified OEM manufacturer of enzymes, meeting the rigorous demands of commercial entities engaged in the development, manufacture, and distribution of platforms dedicated to nucleic-acid identification is a daily challenge. Enzymes are critical to the performance of these applications, and the industry’s relentless pursuit of higher performance emphasizes the need for analytical-reagent purity and absolute production consistency.

Operating from the perspective that they are “a manufacturing division of their customer,” the company consistently delivers the highest quality and value enzymes, leveraging them to drive customer success via a business partnership model. Part of that consistent delivery means labeling goods so that they are easily and accurately identified when they arrive in the lab.

Problem

When enzymes are manufactured, they start in batches of 50-gallon vats, and then are broken down into small vials as part of a kit sold to research and testing facilities. These vials must be labeled individually; the labels include a great deal of data, two-dimensional barcodes, and very small type. Because of the temperatures at which they need to be maintained, cryogenic polypropylene labels are used.

Item identification and data acquisition through barcodes is critical to the function of automated operations, from ensuring that the correct components are used in the assembly of a smart phone to recording accurate patient data for samples in a laboratory. When poorly-marked or damaged barcodes result in “no-reads” or failures, loss of data can have disastrous effects on product integrity and corporate reputation – not to mention potential legal implications and serious risks to consumer welfare. Understanding the root cause of unreadable barcodes and using technology appropriately to prepare for or resolve these issues is simple to do and it can mean the difference between success and failure in automation. This white paper describes potential solutions for the most common causes of unreadable barcodes, including:

• Low Contrast
• Quiet Zone Violations
• Improper Reading Position
• Print or Mark Inconsistency
• Damage or Distortion
