4.  Ink and Label Types ● Depending on the specific application, consider the type of label you need for your particular application. Paper is ideal for most applications that do not require water resistance. Synthetic materials such as polyester and polypropylene are best suited for applications requiring some water resistance. ● Printers also handle different ink types, including dye, pigment, and even edible ink. When paired with synthetic materials, pigment inks offer the most water resistance. Dye inks also tend to yield the brightest colors. It’s essential to pinpoint what labels you will use and the level of water resistance you require before choosing your label printer. ● We will look at the different color label printers offered by Primera.

9. Continued Maintenance ● Maintenance of your new printer will also be an essential factor in the long-time value of the device. If you’re planning to print large volumes of labels regularly, you will want to purchase a low-maintenance printer with parts that don’t require frequent replacement. ● Some printers need the print head replacement; however, Primera printers have the print head built into the ink cartridge, so there is no added cost. Also, consider a printer with an extended warranty and positive reviews through third-party reviews platforms

10. Operating Systems and Software ● It’s important to think about which device (Mac or PC) and operating systems you will be printing from, and whether your current computer meets the minimum system requirements of the printer you’re considering.

For instance, Primera’s label printer software includes a job costing tool. ● The LX610 PTCreate Pro Software Bundle includes advanced software for printing and digitally die-cutting unique shapes, features, and functionality for macOS and Windows users.

11. Ease of use ● An often-overlooked factor in purchasing a printer is the device’s ease of use. It is important to have a printer that is easy to set up, troubleshoot, update, and operate. Look for your printer’s brand to provide extensive customer support and a knowledge base like the Primera Knowledge Base to allow you to gain immediate access to all help you might need while using your new printer. ● By carefully considering the seven essential factors when buying your next color printer, you can ensure that your business continues to create products that will delight and entice your customers for many years to come!
