Why Thermal Printing is Non-Negotiable for Barcodes
Professional barcode printing demands precision and durability. While standard office printers can output a barcode, they are plagued by issues like ink smudging, toner flaking, and imprecise alignment—all of which lead to unscannable codes and operational delays.
AIMO’s barcode label printer uses thermal printing technology, which is the industry standard for several reasons:
Crisp Edge Definition: Thermal printing produces sharp, high-contrast bars and spaces. The 203 dpi resolution of AIMO printers ensures that every barcode symbology (like Code 128 or UPC) is rendered with perfect clarity, guaranteeing a high first-pass scan rate.
Durability: Direct thermal labels are resistant to smudging, making them ideal for internal use (inventory, asset tags). For harsher environments, we can guide you towards thermal transfer solutions or specific label materials that offer resistance to abrasion, moisture, and chemicals.
Reliability & Speed: In a warehouse setting, you need to print hundreds of labels without failure. AIMO printers deliver ultra-high printing efficiency (up to 72 labels per minute), ensuring your staff isn’t waiting on label output.
