Hello everyone,
I am looking to get a printer for printing labels for some of the businesses that I work with here in town.
The labels will approximately 4"x 6" peel off kind that you purchase from Office Depot for 500 labels for $30 (price is just approximately). They come in standard paper size sheet with about 20 labels per page.
I will be using a small photo on the label, plus a very high graphic art design (logo, text, colors) and very vivid colors. The label itself will be very glossy and have a high professional shine to the front.
I will be printing off about 1000 labels at a time, but time and speed of printing isn't really an issue as I can spend a couple of days if need be waiting on the job to finish.
I just get confused when I go look at printers. You see ones costing $300 (Brother) and ones costing $800 (HP) that are identical according to their specs. Though I do see some of the Brother printers at $300 having a 1200 x 600 format while the HP only has 600x600. Not sure why the one with the higher format actually costs less.
I don't really need a "photo" printer as the occassional photo that may go on the label is tiny and pretty much like you use on a business card.
Any idea to help me decide which printer to get? Obviously I don't want to overspend for features I don't need.
thanks in advance for replying.
