The new DuraLabel 4000 Label & Sign Printer is good for many types of work settings, applications and projects. As stated before, you'll likely be surprised by everything this labeling machine can offer your organization!

A few weeks ago, DuraLabel 4000 "'Good for' #1" was field offices. This time, we're taking our "Good for" to places where the cranes rise tall, the forklifts run free and the welders braze hot.

"Good for" #2: Construction Sites

Construction sites are basically temporary extensions of main facilities or offices. A typical construction job, especially in commercial construction, can require the need for a lot of labeling. The bigger and busier the construction area, the more potential for hazards. More machinery exists, more workers are employed, and the concern for safety becomes a bigger issue. The DuraLabel 4000 comes in handy at commercial construction sites because piping systems are put in place (pipe markers), electrical engineers are at work on hundreds of wires and circuits (arc flash warning labels), and OSHA and ANSI maintain certain requirements for worker safety (machinery danger signs).

The DuraLabel 4000 utilizes either a manual cutter or an automatic cutter, depending on how frequently labels need to be printed during a construction job and how much the company desires to spend on a printer. And its 203 dpi print resolution, combined with its print speed of up to 3 inches per second, allow the DuraLabel 4000 to produce just the type of labels needed for safety compliance around a construction site. The fact that all DuraLabel labeling supplies are engineered to withstand such potentially abrasive, caustic and weathered environments as found at a construction site doesn't hurt, either!

Let's get straight to the point. Graphic Products sets the standard when it comes to providing facilities free, informative guides to industrial labeling. There's just no other way to say it.

What's more, Graphic Products has now set the bar even higher by finishing its latest guide: Anatomy of a Label Printer.

Anatomy of a Label Printer uses the DuraLabel PRO 300 Label and Sign Printer as its exemplar for explaining what an industrial label printer is, how it is constructed, why it utilizes thermal transfer printing processes, what types of labels and signs can be made with it, and why facilities need to make sure employees are provided with the best label machine.

• Learn what differentiates an industrial label printer from a personal or commercial label printer (direct thermal vs. thermal transfer, the thermal transfer process, printer design)
• Learn what key components of a thermal transfer printer are and what functions they perform
• Understand the influence memory, speed and print resolution have on the performance of an industrial label printer
• Find out how to troubleshoot particular label printer issues

Over the next week, this blog will discuss the many types of work settings, applications and projects the DuraLabel 4000 Label & Sign Printer is good for. You might be surprised by everything this little blue and gray label-producing machine can offer your organization!


"Good for" #1: Field Offices.

If you're a big company, chances are you have a DuraLabel sign and label printer somewhere within your large facilities to tackle your safety communications needs. But you're probably not a big company without maintaining field offices around the region, across the country or throughout the world. And those field offices require labels and signs, too, but maybe not quite to the same degree as your large facilities. It's pretty nonsensical to toss into a box and ship your large facilities' DuraLabel printer (e.g., DuraLabel PRO 300) that handles your heavy-duty labeling and signage needs to those field offices just for a medium-duty or light-duty pipe marking task. Hence, you might not be able to justify the purchase of another printer engineered for more work than what is actually required.

The solution? Buy a DuraLabel 4000. This label printer is perfect for medium-duty labeling tasks because it is engineered and priced to meet your medium-duty labeling needs---and nothing more. In summary, here's a short equation:

Field offices + DuraLabel 4000 = sensible and economical labeling decision.

With the same quality and durability of other industrial label and sign printers, the DuraLabel 4000 is perfect for stationing in your field offices so it is ready to use when needed. Safety communication problems in field offices: solved!

Though they appear to be simple, sticky pieces of material capable of adhering to many different surface types, there is significant science and engineering that goes into developing these "sticky pieces of material" we call labels. Understanding the anatomy of a label can help you select the right materials for your labeling needs.

That's why Graphic Products is now introducing a free guide entitled, "Anatomy of a Label."

"Anatomy of a Label" breaks down the characteristics of industrial labels and offers descriptions for the four common layers belonging to a single label: film, adhesive, topcoat and liner.

The free guide answers both common and complex questions about industrial labeling. You might have burning questions such as these ones:

"What labeling supply works best in a hot environment?"

"Can a label be applied to an oily or dirty surface?"

"What makes DuraLabel supplies 'industrial-strength'?"

"What is meant by 'peel strength,' and how is a label's peel strength determined?"

Get answers to these industrial label questions and more.
