Marking "On request"
The moment when it is necessary to restore order, sign folders, designate spare outputs and so on, - arises in the life of each enterprise. You can, of course, act in the old manner: to purchase in the nearest stationery tape, a black marker and put inscriptions for office furniture or storage shelves manually. However, modern gadgets can solve the problem with such a label "on request".
Ribbon labeling printers are operated by the method of thermal transfer. Compared to thermal printing, thermal transfer printing is more durable. Each cartridge consists of two tapes: painting ribbon and support substrate. During printing, the coloring layer is superimposed onto the carrier. When the print head is heated, the dye melts, and the image is essentially "soldered" into the tape. Finished labels are designed for an impressive service life: such an inscription for years does not fade, resistant to moisture and mechanical effects.

The width of the printed surface varies depending on the media and the model of the printer. Available range - from 6 to 36 mm. In this case, the tape can be not only the usual label.
"With printers of this series, it is also possible to use specialized carriers," says Dmitry Usachev. - For example, a label for cables. This is a wicked heat shrink tube on which the text can be printed. This option is relevant for corporate use in server when you want to march a lot of wires. There are textile tapes on which text can be applied in various color variations. This is applicable in the sphere of gifts and packaging. "
