Barcode Printer FAQs
What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer?
Direct thermal printers use heat-sensitive labels and no ribbon, which suits shipping labels and receipts that only need to last weeks or months. Thermal transfer printers use a ribbon to print labels that resist heat, light and abrasion for months or years, such as product, asset and freezer labels. Many Zebra models do both.
What is the best label printer for 4x6 shipping labels?
A 4" desktop printer such as the Zebra ZD421 or ZD230 prints standard 4x6 shipping labels and works with most shipping and e-commerce platforms.
Do barcode printers also scan barcodes?
No. A barcode printer only prints labels. To read barcodes, pair it with a scanner or a mobile computer.
How much does a barcode label printer cost?
Price depends on print width, volume and connectivity. Entry-level desktop printers cost the least, while industrial and healthcare models cost more. See current Canadian pricing on each model above, or call 1-800-263-4258 for a quote.
Do you ship barcode printers across Canada?
Yes. We ship across Canada and the United States.
