Laser printers are available as smaller printers for home use or the much larger and higher capacity printers used in business. Laser printers are slightly more costly as an initial purchase, but, without the need for ink, they are more cost effective to operate when large volume printing is a factor.
It is important to only use laser printer labels with these types of printers. They are specially designed for the printing method and will create the precision text and images you need. Using inkjet labels can result in blurred or smudged printing, which is why it is important to carefully consider your options.
Label Paper Quality
Not all laser printer labels are made with the same quality of paper. Unfortunately, the very cheap labels are typically manufactured from cheap quality paper. This can result in a poor image and text quality on the printed label, even if the printer is a quality machine.
Light labels are also more likely to tear, fold and crease when being applied or as they are printed. This results in waste and time spent in trying to correct printer problems.
Adhesive Quality
The laser printer labels with adhesive on the back are popular and easy to use. As with the paper, poor quality adhesives on the labels causes problems for the shipper. Labels can come off, fail to adhere to specific types of surfaces or it may dry up and fail to hold the label in place.
Size and Shape Options
The best outlets and distributors of quality printer labels for laser printing systems will have a good selection of sizes, shapes, and colors. This allows a company to place one order for all the labels they require with the same supplier.
With this option, reorders can be easy to complete by simply logging onto the account and reordering. This also saves the business time with just one invoice to pay and one order to receive.
