From trucking to farming, retail to automotive,
industry is turning to wireless thermal printing for barcode labeling
needs. The leading manufacturers of direct thermal labels printers and
thermal transfer labels printers are answering the call with a wide variety of
lightweight, inexpensive handheld printers and scanners.
Wireless thermal labels printing enables companies to print
information and barcodes on blank labels from the top of a warehouse
forklift, the back of a delivery truck or the middle of the sales floor.
The latest wireless thermal labels printer models possess a
wide range of useful features including the ability to utilize a “peel
mode.” After the printer has printed on the face of a blank label,
it initiates a peel, making it much easier to tear off the label’s back.
This practical feature saves companies time and money (and, no doubt,
some manicures)
.
 Other state-of-the-art features include the option of
printing either thermal transfer labels or direct thermal labels,
depending on the task at hand. A business may choose to print on
thermal transfer labels if the label will be exposed to extreme
temperatures or requires a long shelf life. Alternatively, if a
printer ribbon is exhausted and direct thermal blank labels are
available, one may chose the direct thermal printing mode.
Because portable thermal printers are likely to
suffer more wear and tear, manufacturers incorporate drop tolerance into
their design. This means that the thermal printer can withstand
repeatedly being dropped from distances of up to five feet onto
concrete. These machines are also built to function well outdoors
in temperatures ranging from 32°F to 113°F.
Portable wireless printers communicate with computers
via Bluetooth and wireless Internet. Many models weigh less than
three pounds and are capable of printing on blank labels at a rate of
three inches per second. Print speeds for thermal transfer labels
tend to be slower at around 1.5 inches per second.
It is essential that portable printers have long
lasting batteries that are easy to recharge. Many manufacturers
have turned to lithium ion batteries to power these printers.
These models also come with DC adapters for easy in-vehicle charging.
Wireless thermal label printing technology means
better tracking, better reporting, and more efficient labeling, anytime
and anywhere. Uprintlabels.com supports wireless thermal label
printing by providing blank labels compatible with today’s leading
wireless thermal printers. Uprintlabels.com offers a wide variety
