What is a label printer?
A label printer, labeller or a label sticker printer is a device with an in-built keyboard and display that is used for printing out self-adhesive labels for products and cables. These labellers are equipped with special feed mechanisms to take in rolled sheets made of paper or special synthetic plastic polymer material.
Types of label printers
Handheld labellers: Handheld or personal labellers are ideal for small business and home office use. Advantages of a handheld label printer includes low cost, ease of use and portability with cartridges and paper rolls integrated inside the device. These label makers are commonly used in supermarkets and retail stores.
Desktop label printers: Designed for heavy duty label printing cycles, these label printers are equipped with larger rolls of paper for medium to large volume printing.
Thermal printing mechanism
Most label printers work on the mechanism of thermal printing. Thermal label printers operate by using heat to print on the surface of heat-sensitive, chemically treated paper specially designed to be used with them. As a result, these labels can get affected by heat, even the heat from human hands are capable of causing smudges. They are generally used for creating short-term labels, though some papers are designed to be resistant to water, heat and chemicals.
