Label paper is a barcode label that every product has. Why do you use a special label printer for printing barcode labels? Why can't regular printers replace the label printer? IBARCODESOLUTIONS Co., LTD. sorts out the following five different reasons:
barcode label paper
1. The printed content is not the same and the scope of use is also not the same
The difference in printing accuracy and printing method determines the application range will be different. The printed content by barcode printers include: merchandise packaging, carton packaging, electrical appliances, brand identity, merchandise identification, bar code identification, management, production, jewelry, clothing tag, ticket and other labels or bar codes.

2. The printing method is different, is that the working principle is different
This determines the difference in their scope of application. Barcode printers print by ribbon or thermal paper. This form of printing allows it to work continuously at high speeds and unattended. But ordinary printers can't do this.

3. The paper used is different
Barcode printers can print a lot of materials, such as PET, copper paper, thermal paper stickers and polyester, PVC and other synthetic materials and water-washed fabrics, etc.; Text and graphics printed by thermal transfer have scratch-proof effect, special ribbon printing can also make the printed products waterproof, anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, high temperature resistance, etc. The most commonly used material of ordinary printers are ordinary paper, like A4 paper, small ticket paper, etc., although bar code paper can be used, but its printing effect is not good, so generally it will not do so.

4. High printing accuracy
The "black and white strips" (or "bars") in the barcode are based on their different width variations to represent information, so the accuracy of the width of the "black and white strips" has a great impact on the reading of the barcode. Only with accurate accuracy can the barcode be recognized and read. This accuracy is controlled by the bar code software and the bar code production function of the associated printer to ensure that the printed bar code matches the designed bar code. A regular printer prints a barcode as a complete image onto a label sheet. This makes it difficult to read by an input device such as a barcode scanner.

5. Print speed and print volume are different
With the right way of operation and good maintenance, the barcode printer can work 24 hours a day, and the print volume is unlimited. Barcode printers print faster than regular printers. Support printing of serial number (variability of barcode), can save the label format edited by the user in advance, or call the data in the database for batch and continuous printing. Barcode printers are printed in units of labels (volumes). Ordinary printers are printed on a single sheet. This shows that barcode printers are still very different from ordinary printers.
