What are printing machines?
Printers have come a long way since the invention of the printing press and have become an integral part of doing business.
Manufacturers often choose to forego hiring an external printing company in favour of in-house printing solutions. This allows them to better control their costs, printing schedule and wastage.
At an industrial scale, printing machines can be used for:
- Manufacturing
- Retail
- Transport and logistics
- Automotive tagging
What are the different types of printing machines?
Even though printing machines share a common purpose, there are countless types to pick from. Make sure you choose a machine that’ll work for you.
Thermal printers: A manufacturer’s dream, thermal printers are primarily used for creating transfer labels. The thermal printer’s raised lettering effect is perfect for rolling out copies of batch codes, barcodes, and expiry dates.
Ink-jet printers: Small but packing a punch, ink-jet printers are an inexpensive solution to much smaller operations. Replicating text and images by propelling ink droplets, the ink-jet printer can be used with paper and plastic canvases.
Laser printers: A popular choice among consumers, laser printers use static electricity to produce fast and high-quality results.
How do I choose which printing machine I need?
It’s important to understand the scope of your project’s needs before settling on a printing machine. If you’re stuck, ask yourself:
- Which materials do I need to print on?
- What resolution—or DPI (dots per inch)—am I after?
- Do I want features such as an auto cutter, liner rewinder or interactive LCD display included with the printer?
The SATO brand printing machines available for hire through Rentafill provide a universal solution to your printing needs. We have three to choose from:
- SATO RWG500 Label Rewinder
- SATO CL6NX Thermal Transfer Label Printer
- SATO CL4NX Plus Thermal Transfer Label Printer
You can even pair a SATO label printer with a Rentafill Labelling Machine, creating a seamless printing and labelling production line for your operation.
