How to Measure Your Industrial Printer’s Durability

Posted August 20, 2020

Today’s operations face unprecedented demands for faster order fulfillment and greater order accuracy. To meet customer demands without breaking your budget, Barcodes, Inc. recommends reevaluating your printing system since it lies at the core of successful order fulfillment.

See how Zebra’s rugged industrial printers meet these demands in our video:

Linking rugged consumables and intuitive software, your industrial printer holds the potential to streamline operations, which is why it should display:

  • Physical durability – Does your printer remain functional in a variety of different environments such as low temperatures, humidity, dust-prone, and high-altitude locations?
  • Intelligent adaptability – Just like any other piece of technology, your printer’s OS must be updated. Are updates still feasible, and will they be disruptive?
  • User flexibility – Before entering a brand-new peak season, can your printer adapt to new unexperienced employees without increasing training times?
  • Trustworthy security – Past studies indicated that over half of businesses’ data breaches occurred through networked printers. Is your printer protected against unauthorized access?

Developed by the leaders in rugged adaptability, Zebra’s industrial printers, like the ZT230 and ZT411, equip workforces with reliable durability that extends beyond printing processes. By combining it with Zebra’s Certified Consumables (Labels, Ribbon and Printheads) and Print DNA, Barcodes, Inc. works with you to design a complete printing solution that integrates:

If your labels do this, it’s time for change

It’s a fact: Not all labels are made the same. While most labels serve the same identification purposes, different application environments may call for different-structured labels, which is why there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all labeling application. To help you evaluate your label’s performance, Barcodes, Inc. suggests searching for the following tell-tale signs of poor label performance: 

  • Fading/smeared barcodes
  • Peeling adhesives
  • Scraped printheads
  • Frequent printer jams caused by adhesive build-up
  • Pre-printed color build-up

Choose the better option

Crafted from consistent pre-tested materials, Zebra’s Certified Consumables are designed to eliminate the effects of inferior labels such as the ones listed above while also delivering:

  • Temperature-resistant labels that can take the heat of thermal printing
  • High-performing RFID labels that secure 99.99% visibility
  • Smooth coating to avoid printhead scraping
  • Up to 18 months of undisturbed label performance
  • UL, cUL, and RoHS-compliant labels
  • Fast label replenishment that saves nearly $400 per 10 label cases
  • Slashed processing times that accelerate markdowns by 35%
  • Customizable labels that fit your color, inlay, size, and various other requirements
  • Sustainable RFID options adaptable to curved and metal surfaces
