We need to spend time and energy to deal with it. How can barcode printers achieve better print quality?

In fact, there are many reasons for the printing quality of barcode labels, such as font selection, printer resolution, printer temperature or pressure, label paper materials, barcode ribbon, whether the print head needs cleaning, paper printing direction, printing speed, etc. Keyida here teaches you how to achieve better label printing:

  1. Choose a suitable font: Different fonts have different effects when printing. Choose such as ARIAL, boldface, etc., and then make the font bold. Generally, printing seems to be much better.

  2. Printer resolution: If a printer with a high resolution is not necessary to set up, it can print a clear effect. A printer with a low resolution will generally be troublesome, time-consuming, and requires more time to debug.

3. Printer temperature or pressure: If the printing effect is not very good, the temperature of the bar code printer can be adjusted to get a good degree of clarity.

    4. Different label papers generally have different printing functions, especially when scanning with a barcode scanner, the speed is obviously different, because the raw materials are not available, and the ability to absorb carbon is different. Under normal circumstances, the printing effect of general coated paper Better. Of course, the correct barcode ribbon must be selected for different label papers.

    5. Barcode ribbon: The quality of barcode ribbon is good or bad. If the printing requirements are relatively high, you can choose better quality ribbon or brand ribbon, such as zebra ribbon, Ricoh ribbon, and of course the price is also Much higher.

     6. Printing software: The printed content is also closely related to the printing software. If you choose professional barcode software, such as Bartender, Codesoft, labelview, etc., you can get better printing quality.

     7. After the barcode printer has been used for a long time, the print head needs to be cleaned, which can extend the life of the printer and achieve better printer quality.

      8. The horizontal bar code and text printed by the bar code printer are not clear in the vertical direction, especially when the printing speed is fast. Generally, horizontal printing is selected for larger labels. It is recommended to plan the content for vertical printing as much as possible. If it cannot be planned vertically. Adjust the printing speed. A slower printing speed will make it clearer than a faster one.
