Frequently asked questions about label printers
What is the best label printing machine?
The Zebra ZZD420D is often considered the best label printer, especially recommended by MontaWMS for its versatility, speed and seamless integration into warehouse management systems, making it ideal for e-commerce and retail environments.
Is it cheaper to get a label printer?
Yes, while there is an initial investment in acquiring a thermal label printer like those recommended by MontaWMS, it is generally more cost-effective in the long run. The savings come from reduced maintenance needs and the absence of traditional printing supplies like ink or toner, making it a financially savvy choice for businesses focused on efficient and sustainable operations.
What is the difference between a label maker and a printer?
The difference lies in their functionality and use cases. A label printer, like those integrated into MontaWMS solutions, is a computer printer designed for printing on self-adhesive labels and card stock. It's typically connected to a computer. On the other hand, a label maker is a standalone device with a built-in keyboard and display used for creating labels independently of a computer. Label makers are often more portable and user-friendly for small-scale labelling tasks.
What type of printer is best for printing shipping labels?
Thermal label printers are the best option for printing shipping labels. Their design is purpose-built for this task, making them more efficient and cost-effective than inkjet or laser printers. MontaWMS recommends thermal printers like the Zebra ZZD420D for their reliability and effectiveness in high-volume label printing.
