The Best Gets Better – The New MPS-150T and DuraLabel 9000 Sign Printer

The Industrial Label Printers blog got the scoop on the newest innovation from DuraLabel — the DuraLabel MPS-150T mobile print station.  The MPS-150T works with the DuraLabel 9000 Sign Printer to make it even more convenient and easy to print custom signs and large format labels.

What is the MPS-150T?  “MPS”  stands for “Mobile Print Station” — technology that was first invented by Graphic Products several years ago.  (Graphic Products is the parent company of DuraLabel.)  A Mobile Print Station is a portable device that is used to run a label or sign printer instead of using a computer.  It includes all of the drivers, software, templates and symbols needed.  Just plug it into a DuraLabel printer and you are ready to start making signs or labels.  Unlike a laptop computer, no configuration is needed. No setup is needed.  It’s fast and easy.

With the new MPS-150T even closer integration has been achieved.  The MPS-150T mounts on the side of the DuraLabel 9000 Sign Printer, making it a part of the printer.   Just put your DuraLabel 9000 on a cart, with the MPS-150T attached, and take it any place signs are needed.  Make OSHA compliant safety signs, exit pathway signs, luminescent warning signs, pipe markers, highly visible arc flash labels and more.  With a wide variety of supplies available — more types of supplies than are available for any other brand of sign printer — you can always get the job done right.

Incredible Sign Quality – With the DuraLabel 9000 Sign Printer you get the only custom sign printer that gives you a five year warranty of the signs you make (using DuraLabel premium vinyl).  That’s right!   Not just the vinyl you buy, but the signs you make have a five year warranty!  No one else has the quality that allows them to offer a warranty like that.  That’s because DuraLabel vinyl is tough tested in the DuraLabel Labs to ensure quality and long life.

DuraLabel innovation continues with this week’s introduction of the MPS-150T.  Shouldn’t you check out DuraLabel printers today? Call 1-888-326-9244 and ask about the special DuraLabel 9000 Sign Printer / MPS-150T kits.  Call today.  You’ll be glad you did.

Label Printers – Label Printers – Reliable Label Printers

DuraLabel TORO - The Reliable Label Printer

If you are looking for reliability in both your label printer and label printer supplier, there are not many options.  It actually comes down to just one… DuraLabel.  Here’s why.

What makes for a reliable label printer supplier?  To start someone who answers their phone during your normal business hours.  Yes, there may be times when you nee d to leave a message, but when you do you get a call back ASAP, not hours or days later.   A reliable label printer supplier can answer your questions when you call. This is particularly important when you need assistance.  One of the most common support questions we get at DuraLabel is from people who have lost their installation CD. We immediately send a replacement, no charge.  That’s part of being a reliable label printer supplier.

No charge.  Those are important words. With some label printer suppliers you need to purchase a service contract in order to get your questions answered. With DuraLabel you can call and get your questions answered ASAP.  No service contract required. We won’t ask for your credit card. You get fast, expert, friendly help with your question.

Reliability means buying from a supplier that has an extensive QA and testing department.  Ask yourself, are you relying on your label printer supplier, or are you relying on suppliers to deliver quality products to you?  What that means is, if your label printer supplier does not have their own test facilities, then they are relying on their suppliers to get it right and they have no way to tell whether the suppliers are getting it right.  Sound complicated?  Make it simple. Buy DuraLabel. With DuraLabel you get the label printer supplier that has their own test labs and who Tough Tests the labeling supplies they sell.  Tough Tested means you can trust the quality of DuraLabel tapes.  You can count on reliably receiving quality vinyl, as well as specialty supplies.

DuraLabel also physically tests every label printer before it is shipped.  That ensures reliability. Each label printer is taken out of the box, set up, and used to print a series of test labels.  It’s a final check that ensures problems are caught before they get to you.  That’s label printer reliability.

There is one name you can count on for a reliable label printer. That’s DuraLabel.  DuraLabel is the #1 brand name in industrial label printers, and the name you want when you want a reliable label printer.

What Are The Important Criteria For Pipe Marking?

Pipe marking involves marking pipes to indicate the contents, the direction of flow and the type of hazards the pipe contents present.  All pipe marking standards, including ANSI, ISO, IIAR and CGA, require that pipes be color coded.  Is this best done using labels or by painting the pipes.

There is no question that labels provide the best solution for color coding pipes.  Pipes may be painted to color code them, but painting is time consuming, requires that others not be working near the pipes while the paint is drying, and it is very expensive.  Then after the pipe are color coded using paint they still need to be labeled to identify the pipe contents and the direction of flow.  In addition, when pipes are in publically accessible areas it is better to paint them using a color that blends in with the background.  This will be more aesthetically pleasing to visitors.

Labels, on the other hand, cost less to install and are virtually maintenance free.  They provide both pipe color coding, and all other essential information, in the one label.

The important criteria for labels is that they be long lasting.  Pipe markers that prematurely fall off, fade, peel or fail in any other way become very costly.  That’s why pipe markers made with DuraLabel printers have become the standard everyone else is striving to meet.  DuraLabel supplies, used to make pipe markers, are the only Tough Tested supplies in the industry.  And they are THE ONLY supplies for making pipe markers that come with a warranty on the pipe markers themselves.

Call 1-888-326-9244 today and ask about special pipe marking kits.

But, DuraLabel pipe markers haves become the industry standard for pipe color coding and labeling — the standard everyone else is trying to meet.

Pipe markers not only provide pipe color coding, they must identify the pipe contents and the direction of flow.  Software, include at no extra charge with every desktop DuraLabel printer, makes printing code compliant color coded pipe markers fast and easy.

Dealing with difficult pipe marking situations can be time consuming.  For example, old, unused, rusty pipes should be labeled to identify them as no longer in service.  But who wants to spend a lot of time labeling unused pipes?  With DuraLabel you can get labeling tape that can be applied to a rusty pipe.  It saves a huge amount of time.  Plus there are supplies for color coding and marking pipes in all sorts of unusual situations.  That’s why DuraLabel has become known as the pipe marking problem solver.

2011 Best Picks – Best Safety Label Printer

At the end of the year we look back and remember the best new safety product of the past year… and look ahead to what we can do better in the new year.

The Only Four Inch Portable Label Printer

There is no doubt that the new standalone DuraLabel TORO custom label printer is the best of 2011.  It will probably become the best safety product of the decade. There has never been an advance in safety label printer design and technology like the DuraLabel TORO.

In the past four inch label printers were large and cumbersome.  DuraLabel changed that with the release of the original DuraLabel 4TTP.  This was followed by the even more compact and lighter DuraLabel PRO series.  The addition of the MPS-150 (Mobile Print Station) and DLP battery made DuraLabel printers easy to move around and use in any location.  DuraLabel label printer innovation has been moving label printer design forward for over eight years.  But with the release of the DuraLabel TORO, label printer design and technology took a truly great leap forward.

DuraLabel smart thinking, focus on customer needs, and expert engineering has resulted in a safety label printer that not only makes labeling easy, it’s even fun to use!  It is the best new safety product of 2011.

To learn more about the DuraLabel TORO, call 1-888-326-9244 today.  Ask about the special DuraLabel TORO OSHA Safety Sign kits.  You’ll be glad you did.

The DuraLabel TORO is the advanced thermal transfer labeling printing system. It includes a built-in full-size touch screen monitor, full-size keyboard, memory, label making software, expensive symbols and templates libraries, Smart Chip supply detection, all in a lightweight, fully portable, battery operated package.  There is no other four inch label printer like the DuraLabel TORO.

Do You Need To Make Even BIGGER Safety Signs?

Making Large Safety Signs

DuraLabel printers and labeling supplies get the job done and get it done right — even when you need really BIG signs.  With a DuraLabel custom label printer there is no limit on the size of the sign.

The photo to the left shows a 16″ x 24″ caution sign being made by a DuraLabel PRO printer.  The DuraLabel PRO is printing four 4″ sections (three labels).  Two make the yellow CAUTION header.  The other two make the white body of the the caution sign.  The three sections are combined together, one above the other, to create a large safety sign.  They may be combined using a sign blank, or applied directly to a wall or any other flat surface.

This can also be done with the larger DuraLabel sign printers, such as the DuraLabel 9000.  Use a DuraLabel 9000 to print three nine inch sections that are 36 inches long.  Combined together they make a 27″ x 36″ safety sign.

What if lettering that is 15″ high is needed? Can a DuraLabel printer make that?

Yes.  Fifteen inch lettering can be made by combining three 4″ sections from a DuraLabel PRO or two 8″ (or 9″) sections from a DuraLabel 9000.  DuraLabel printers can print text and symbols that are spread across several sections of vinyl.  The sections are then combined, on a sign blank for example, to make the complete sign.  This is called tiling.  It is like combining pieces of ceramic tile to create a large picture.  DuraLabel printers can do this same thing.

Whatever size sign or label you need, a DuraLabel printer can get the job done.  DuraLabel is the leading brand of label printers when it comes to quality, versatility, advanced technology, economy and ease-of-use.  Call 1-888-326-9244 today and ask about special DuraLabel sign making kits.  You’ll be glad you did.

DuraLabel 9000 Sign Printer

When you need to make BIG labels or signs, the printer to have is the DuraLabel 9000 sign printer.

The DuraLabel 9000 Sign printer is the nine printer than can print the full nine inch width — other printers can’t do this.  This provides a number of advantages, such as the DuraLabel 9000 costing less but still providing the same printed width.  And with printing edge-to-edge you can tile sections of a sign to make larger signs.  Making a 48″ x 60″ safety sign is not a problem for the DuraLabel 9000.

Have you ever considered that you can move your sign printer around your facility, taking it to wherever signs are needed?  So, if there is a major upgrade to the warehouse, the DuraLabel 9000 can be there – and then be in the maintenance shop 30 minutes later.  Combined with the MPS-150XL this is actually a monster-sized portable label and sign printer.  Keep in mind, when you buy DuraLabel, you are eliminating the limits. DuraLabel frees you to get your job done.
