The leaders in visual safety. 8 Traits of a Quality Thermal Label Printer

description

http://www.CreativeSafetySupply.com offers some valuable insight into the minimum of 8 traits that your printer should possess to be considered of professional quality. Ever wonder how to tell a good industrial printer from a bad one? In this slideshow we discuss what sets a good printer apart and what to look for when shopping for an on-site printing solution. As most safety managers know, safety labeling is an absolute must for facilities and companies who are required to be OSHA compliant. And because pre-printed labels can be expensive to order, as well as sometimes lacking in the design and format you are looking for, on-site or in-house printing is the best way to go. We have found the LabelTac Series of label printers to be not only the most reliable, but printers that create the most long lasting labels (up to 7 years in optimal conditions) with their resin-based pigments which are thermally burned on to a strong, impact and tear resistant vinyl medium or tape. The top three models can be viewed at: http://www.Labeltac.com
