Use your Thermal Printer for Workplace Safety

REFLECTIVE VINYL LABEL TAPE PROVIDES VISIBILITY TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND WORKFLOW


Reflective vinyl label tape is a unique material infused with light-reflective particles, or beaded plastic material, making it retro-reflective. Retro-reflective means that when a light source hits the material, it doesn't merely reflect light back to the source but reflects in all directions. This wide-angle reflectivity provides high visibility both in the daytime and at night.


BENEFITS OF REFLECTIVE VINYL LABEL TAPE 


Reflective Label Tape delivers a wide variety of benefits, including:


Visible in Low Light Areas - Reflective labels can provide the desired information and be clearly seen even in poorly lit indoor areas such as dark corners, storage areas, or hallways.


Visibility After Dark - The need for labels and signage doesn't stop once the sun goes down. Retro-reflective labels make it easier to read vital signs after dark.


Long Distance Visibility -  Reflective label tape allows you to see your signs and labels further away than traditional labels.


Helpful During Power Outage - Power Outages can make regular signs and labels hard to see even in the naturally best-lit spots. Using reflective vinyl allows for visible signs when the lights are on and when they're out.


More Extended Distance Barcode Scanning - Retro-reflective label material allows for scanning from longer distances. It is perfect for high-level racks that need to be scanned from the ground.


Flexible Sizing - Users can create the exact labels and signs in the best size needed. Reflective vinyl label tape is offered in a variety of widths. It can be used to print labels of just about any length.


Apply to a Variety of Surfaces - Reflective label tape is pliable material with an aggressive permanent adhesive. This adhesive makes it possible to apply the labels to almost any surface.


Durable - Reflective tape is highly resistant to and ready for duty in various harsh weather conditions, including cold, heat, and humid environments. Combined with its aggressive, permanent adhesive, it has up to a 7-year durability rating.


Color Coding Options - Reflective vinyl is available in a variety of colors to allow for color-coding. Using your color code standards can help increase safety communication, streamline processes, and improve organization.


Print the Labels You Need Now When You Need Them - Print reflective labels on demand using your current or new tabletop, portable or desktop thermal printers. Save time and money. Act now by printing the labels you need now because you need them now. 


USES OF REFLECTIVE VINYL 




Warehouse Racking: Print highly reflective and practical warehouse rack labels. Scan them from a distance and see them even in low light.


Loading Docks: Clearly mark bays and safety barriers to keep loading docks running smoothly. Users can highlight other important safety and essential instructional information.


Construction Sites: Ensure that critical safety and informational labels and signs can be seen regardless of lighting or weather.


Industrial Signs - Create visible, durable industrial signs, including pipe markings, OHSA signs, Arcflash warnings, and more.


Safety/Warning Messaging- Reflective vinyl helps keep employees safe by ensuring that safety and warning signs and labels are always visible.


Marking of Equipment: Ensure that your workforce can find the tools and equipment to get the job done.

To InfoPrint 75 and InfoPrint 100 Users, A Swan Song

The Curtain Call for Some Great InfoPrint Printers

To parody a classic by Paul Anka:  

And now, the end is near, And so we face its final curtain. 

My friends, I'll say it clear, I'll state the case of which I'm certain.

It’s been an InfoPrint that printed each and every nice way

But now, the end of March, it hits the highway!

Ol' Blue Eyes took Paul Anka's words to a long career. Unfortunately for the InfoPrint 75 and InfoPrint 100, their careers are coming to a close.

Just last week, a current user of InfoPrint 75 printers told me they got a 'last call' letter from the supplier of the toner. It advised them to make their last buy of toner soon. After April 1, 2021, they could no longer provide toner. Note: that supplier is the ONLY provider of the OEM toner for the InfoPrint 75 and 100!

As shared before, Ricoh also drops service on March 31, 2021. For those customers that thought about buying extra units for spare parts and trying to go on without Ricoh, the OEM supplies apparently will end as well. We never found any good third-party toner manufacturers to show interest in the IP75/100 market due to the limited volumes. These good printers will run out of supplies and repairs this next April.

We have some great alternatives for these InfoPrint users, and we are ready to help you test, evaluate, and install your printers. Call Printer Connection at 866-430-6202 or contact Warren Neeley at WNeeley@PCIprinters.com to get started!

Zebra ZT600 Series, the Replacement for Zebra Xi Industrial Thermal Printers

Zebra ZT600 Series Thermal Printers -The next phase in the legendary Zebra Xi Series Industrial Printer Family

Pictured: Zebra ZT600 Series featuring the 4” Zebra ZT610 and the 6” Zebra ZT620

Never before in the history of Zebra Thermal printers have there been a new series like this.
So smart, so easy, and so strong, the new Zebra ZT600 Series now beats all the Xi units in history. The Xi has a loyal following earned with long-service-life, reliability, durability, and speed. The old Zebra Xi has dominated workplace printer installations. The new ZT600 continues the legacy and has improved in key areas.

ZEBRA ZT600 USER IMPROVEMENTS
Media Loading for Labels and Ribbons. WOW, what an improvement! No more ‘threading-the-needle’ in a Zebra Xi model. Easy, intuitive loading from the side cuts down on time to reload and the training of new users.
Red User Display. Its face turns red when it has trouble! The new ZT600 has a display that goes red if a media error occurs. Users can see it from across the room.
Runway Lights. Well, not precisely, but the ZT600 has integrated internal cabinet lights. They show how and where to load the labels/tickets and ribbon, and then change color to show problems.
Now-What QR Codes to Videos? Can’t remember the fix? There are QR Codes for users to access specific videos for specific errors.
Head Off Issues with Printheads. These heads make it easy to be a quick-change artist. There are no more wires and, better yet, no more hassles. There are great easy-to-adjust pressure toggles with a scale and pressure indicators color-coded. All these improvements work toward the simplification of setup and operation.

ZEBRA ZT600 CAPABILITY BOOSTS
“It’s all right to be little-bitty” (says, Tom T. Hall and Alan Jackson). Need to print tiny little labels? Labels for circuit boards and such? The ZT610 with 600 dpi prints on 3mm labels with great print alignment and registration.
Ready when you are – for RFID. The built-in readiness for the optional RFID upgrade gives the buyer peace of mind. If RFID is in the future, the ZT600 is ready to move with you.
Smart insight. Keep up with these printers from a distance with Zebra Link-OS or with integration into systems. Management connectors ease the use and integration into SOTI Device Management and AirWatch. Zebra’s Visibility Service Portfolio and Operational & Asset Visibility Services (OVS/AVS) keep watching.
