Many users have mentioned to me about buying a printer, but they can't tell which kind they want to buy. Before buying a printer, you first need to be clear about what you are going to buy.

Barcode printers on the market are divided into two types: thermal and thermal transfer, and the resolutions are mostly 203DPI and 300DPI.

Let's take Ableox's label printer as an example

1. Determine the model to be used according to the usage scenario of the device

       If your equipment belongs to the scene of unmanned self-service use, and the consumables are ordinary thermal label paper, then it is recommended that you buy Ableox’s NP series printers. Among similar products, they are fine in size, large in paper bins, save valuable space, and have outstanding cost performance. Features of this series of printers.

2. Choose brand products that have a good reputation in the country or have a production company

       There are many products that are only handed over to the agent for sale in China. It is likely that the main business of the agent is not the product you want to buy, so the technical support is not strong enough. It is recommended that you choose a brand product with a good reputation or a domestic production company. Like Ableox printers, we provide a series of pre-sales and after-sales one-stop services to solve all difficult problems in use by customers.

3. Choose a label printer with practical functions and high cost performance

      The price of some foreign brand printers is very high, which is completely out of the real printer cost price. In order to increase the price, some functions that are not often needed in actual use are often added. The reason why the current thermal transfer printers are not yet popular Mostly because of this, buying an affordable printer with the right features is the best way to keep costs down.

4. Choose a brand with cheap parts and guaranteed maintenance

       When purchasing a label printer, you should also ask which parts are easily damaged. For thermal label printers, the print head is the most likely to be damaged, because printing on various unpredictable printing materials or the influence of the operating environment may cause damage. As a result, the print head is damaged. If you can buy a whole printer of another brand at the price of replacing the print head, it is indeed a big loss. In addition, you should ask about the stocking status of the parts of the purchased products. Some parts are not stocked in the country. When the parts need to be replaced, the agent often takes 3 months to half a year to re-import the parts, which leads to the shutdown of the production unit. . However, Ableox’s printer accessories are all in stock, and a 7-day fast repair service is launched, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost and time cost.

       The above purchasing skills and methods hope to help you choose a satisfactory printer. For more functions and styles of printers, please go to the Ableox official website to view and compare, there are many styles, there is always one that suits you, I wish you a happy life.
