- Buying a Desktop Label Printer
Desktop label printers are the smaller printers designed for less intensive applications. Nowadays, they are reasonably “plug & play,” so you can get by with any brand. Your choice is mainly based on functionality and budget. To give an idea of the possibilities, we compare here the best-selling desktop label printers from the two largest manufacturers, Zebra and Honeywell. In addition, we are also happy to help you with advice and a quote for another quality brand, such as TSC, Bixolon, and Argox.
Here we show some desktop best-sellers from the two largest manufacturers. We are also happy to look with you to see if a printer from another brand is more suitable for your application or budget. Think of brands like TSC, Bixolon, and Argox.
