The LabelRack Unveils New Barcode and Laser Label Web Site
Lake Forest, IL (ContentDesk) May 16, 2006 -- Buying labels is not as easy as it may seem. For distributors, manufacturers, retail owners and small businesses the terminology can be complex. Do I need direct thermal labels or thermal transfer labels? Does my printer take a 1 inch core or a 3 inch core roll of labels? Will my laser labels work in my ink jet printer? Knowing these facts can help eliminate making the wrong selection and having to go through the mundane process of getting the wrong labels, testing them, calling to return them and then returning the labels for the correct product. Getting the label terminology down is critical to buying the correct labels. Many customers will know they need "thermal" labels, but that does not answer if they are "thermal transfer" or "direct thermal".
Selecting the thermal transfer for a direct thermal application the customer will find very quickly that their image will not print on the label. Direct thermal labels work by reacting to heat that is directly applied to the label. Thermal transfer labels use a ribbon that transfers the image to the label.Examples of common label mistakes:- Selecting thermal transfer labels for a direct thermal printer.- Selecting labels with a 3" core for a 1" core printer.- Purchasing color laser labels for use in a ink jet printer.- Using paper labels for harsh environments.The labelrack provides insight to the use of thermal transfer labels vs. direct thermal labels to reduce the chance of ordering the wrong product. Labels are clearly marked for their applications and helpful information is provided to educate the customer in the purchase decision.

Running Low On Ink? Time To Get A New Printer!
This is the scenario being faced by millions around the world today. You need to replace your printer ink cartridges but the cost is only a few dollars less than buying a brand new printer which of course comes with brand new cartridges.Why?Manufacturers make very little profit from the sale of their printers. The profit is made on the replacement ink cartridges. Once you have the printer you have to buy ink in order to print. If you use your printer a lot, the cost can be considerable.A Brief Explanation.Broadly speaking there are two types of inkjet printers.
The first uses true cartridges. Companies such as Hewlett Packard and Lexmark use this system. Cartridges consist of a tank of ink, a head (The copper coloured metal strip) and sometimes a chip that gives back data on the levels of ink. The cartridges for this system, as owners know only too well, are expensive.The other system as employed by companies such as Epson, Canon and Brother, uses headless cartridges. This means...

The Battle Of The Printers Which One will Win ? Inkjet VS Laser
Printing with inkjets can cost almost ten times as much as with a laser printer. But do you really need a laser printer? This article will bring out the facts so that you can make an informed decision. Print quality is exceptional in both cases so what should you as a consumer be looking for?
At first glance it looks as though the inkjet is by far the lowest cost printer, however when you factor in the cost of ink it turns out that the laser wins hands down. Most ink cartridges result in a higher cost per page figure when compared to laser toner. Cheaper models typically use a cartridge with less ink than those for more expensive inkjets, thus the more expensive models are cheaper in the long run.
Others use a 3-in-1 cartridge that requires users to replace the entire cartridge even when only one color is empty.
When evaluating your printer purchase, it is important to evaluate the number of users, how the device will be used, desired print speed...

Buying Laser Toner Cartridges
Compatible Laser Toner Cartridges
Recently, there has been a huge legal and investigative battle with people selling "compatible" laser toner cartridges. Often, a distributor will sell their defective, ineffective, or even damaging laser toner cartridges to unsuspecting resellers. These cartridges will make weak prints, cause messy ink spray, and may cause serious damage to your printer. So be sure to buy cartridges from an authorized reseller that the manufacturer audits. Check the manufacturer's website to obtain a list of authorized resellers.
Beware of laser toner cartridges that are priced way below market standard.
Bad or old packaging should also send up a red flag for phony laser toner cartridges.
Finally, if your cartridge runs out of ink too quickly, gives messy prints, or damages your printer, don't buy from the same retailer again.
This is not to say that all compatible toner cartridges are bunk. But if you're...

Laser Hair Removal ? ten tips
1. Tanning, either from a bottle or from the sun, is not recommended just before laser hair removal.
Darker skin soaks up the light of the laser before it reaches the follicle, thus reducing its effectiveness.
2. When you schedule your appointment for laser hair removal, remember that it is far more effective to undertake the procedure in the growth phase of the hair cycle, so shave the area to be treated three or four days before your appointment, so that there is visible active stubble.
3. After a treatment, the laser leaves the hair follicles open for several days.
An antibacterial cream or lotion applied will prevent skin blemishes.
Speak to your technician about this before you schedule an appointment.
4. If your skin is naturally dark, you may risk skin discoloration using this method of hair removal since many types of laser machines search for...

Business Card Printing
Business cards are usually printed on a four-color press. A card is referred to as a ?four over zero' when it is a full color in the front, without a back. It is called a ?four over one' when it is a full color in the front, with a black and white back, and a ?four over four' when it is a full color in the front and the back.
But before you thinking about the printing, you need to determine which aspect of the card is most important to you. Most likely, you will be concerned about the quality of the cards, limited as you might be by a particular model of a printer. So if your card has an image on it, printers say it is best to use glossy paper.
On an inkjet printer, this will ensure the print looks as good as the real image. The paper cost is double when compared to ordinary paper, but the quality is superior.
You must, however, remember that inkjets have a strange way of zooming the print output, though only slightly. While this may not affect the clarity...
