DuraLabel 4TTP Label Printer

This is both a versatile label and sign printer, and an economical one. You get more capabilities from the DuraLabel, and more bang for your buck. The DuraLabel 4TTP is a win-win machine.

The DuraLabel 4TTP is a desktop label printer that connects to your PC. It uses the power of your PC for designing and storing labels. It even uses software you are already familiar with Microsoft Word, to design labels, although other programs can also be used. Why buy a label printer with components you already have, such as a keyboard, monitor and memory? Why buy label printing software when you already have perfectly good software on your computer? Using hardware and software you already have is just one way the DuraLabel 4TTP saves you money.

By the way, when it comes to specialized labeling applications that require specialized software, such as database software for keeping track of chemicals and printing RTK labels, you'll find that software included with the DuraLabel. It includes software for printing both NFPA diamond and color bar RTK labels. It also includes software for printing and tracking arc flash warning labels.

Another way the DuraLabel saves you money is in supplies--and this is where the savings really add up. The DuraLabel uses high quality, industrial labeling supplies. You save because you can purchase them direct from the manufacturer. This also means that if you have specialized labeling requirements, you can talk with a customer service representative about your requirements and the possibility of developing new supplies to meet your needs.
