Create a Barcode System


 Selecting Barcode Printer

 It can be use different barcode printers depends on product structure and usage. Some printing technologies are below:

 
 Printing Technologies Initial Installation Cost Long Term Care Cost Print Quality Barcode Readability Material Consumed
 Dot Matrix Low Medium / High Low Low Too
 Ink Jet Low Medium / High Medium Medium / High Too
 Laser High Medium / High Medium Medium / High Too
 Thermal High Low High High Few

 Note: Genarally thermal printing technologies preffered in barcode applications.

 Thermal Printing Technologies

There are two thermal printing methods: direct thermal and thermal transfer. Each method uses a thermal printhead that applies heat to the surface being marked. 

 

 1) Direct Thermal Printing

 2) Thermal Transfer Printing

 

 1) Thermal Transfer Printing

 

Thermal transfer printing uses a heated ribbon to produce durable, long-lasting images on a wide variety of materials. No ribbon is used in direct thermal printing, which creates the image directly on the printed material. 

 

 2) Direct Thermal Printing

 

No ribbon is used in direct thermal printing, which creates the image directly on the printed material. Direct thermal media is more sensitive to light, heat and abrasion, which reduces the life of the printed material.
