Impact Dot-Matrix Barcode Label Printer Information

barcode-label-printers.com is chock full of information about barcode label printers, supplies, and software.

Impact dot matrix barcode label printers use similar dot matrix technology to the typical computer printer of twenty-five years ago.

A matrix (rectangular grouping) of pins is used to generate the image by impacting the label through an inked ribbon, darkening the pertinent areas through the precise timing of the impacts.

Dot matrix printers are typically noisier than their thermal equivalents. Resolution may be considerably less, and the mechanism is relatively prone to mechanical failure. However, the resulting dot matrix labels are far less impacted by environmentals than thermal printing of either sort.
