I recently purchased a new car battery. I thought I was getting a good deal until I got home and looked at my receipt. The store clerk had deducted $10 for my turning in my old battery, then he added it back on again. What had felt like a good deal suddenly became a rip-off that made me angry. Maybe it was on honest mistake and he hit the wrong key, but it still did not feel good.

A purchase that seemed like a wise decision, and turn out bad. And what initially may seem like a bad purchase, might later appear to be a wise decision. What can you do to make labeling machine purchases that are the right decisions today, and tomorrow?

It comes down to several key points: quality, value and customer service.

At times low cost, low quality may seem to be the right decision. I do a lot of wood cutting and I've purchases several inexpensive chain saws. The result was that I was purchasing a new chain saw every two years. The first one was great, it lasted five years. Based on that I kept buying another cheap chain saw each time one broke. What a poor decision. I could have spent half the money and had a better machine, that lasted.

It's the same with label printers. The major cost in labeling a facility is the cost of installing the labels. If your labels don't last, you'll be spending money to redo work sooner than it should need to be redone... in other words you'll be buying another chain saw. That's why quality is important.

Value is also important. Why pay more than you need to pay? But value is more than just the dollar cost of an item. You need to know what you are getting for your dollar, what comes with a printer? How easy is the printer to set up and use? How quickly supplies can be changed? A printer that costs more, in many cases delivers a greater value.

It is also important to remember that no matter how good the product is, something can go wrong. That's why customer service is important. Can you call and get answers right away? What happens if your machine needs repair?

This is a DuraLabel blog, so obviously I'm talking about DuraLabel PRO industrial label printers. You'd might guess that I'm going to say that the top-of-the-line DuraLabel PRO 300 is more expensive, but worth it. But that's not the case. If you purchase a DuraLabel PRO 300 as a part of a supplies package, you can save enough money to essentially get your DuraLabel PRO 300 free. There is no better price than free!

So when you are evaluating quality, value and customer service, take a look at the DuraLabel PRO 300. It's the best you can get, delivering outstanding quality and value, and backed by Graphic Products' nearly 40 year record of unbeatable customer service. Give us a call today at 1-800-788-5572. You'll be glad you did.

Have you ever faced a difficult labeling situation? One so impossible that it seemed you should just paint a metal sign, bolt it on and call it good? The DuraLabel PRO 300 can make your life easier.

For example, getting a label or sign to stick to an oily or greasy surface seems impossible. Not with the DuraLabel PRO 300. The new oily surface label tapes stick and stay stuck on oily surfaces. That's something that simplifies your day!

Or what about rough surfaces or surface with a low surface energy such as some plastic and painted surfaces? With the DuraLabel PRO 300 these are not a problem. The new HI-Tack label tapes stick and stay stuck on low energy and rough surfaces. They can even be applied to fabrics!

Here's a difficult situation. How to you label shelving inside a freezer? Again the DuraLabel PRO 300 delivers a solution with low temperature tapes that produce labels that can be applied at temperatures as low as -10 degrees F.

When you are evaluating industrial quality label printers, choose a printer that not only meets your current needs, but can solve the problems you may not know you have. Check out the DuraLabel PRO 300 label and sign printer and DuraLabel PRO supplies.

The DuraLabel PRO 300 label and sign printer has got it all. There is no other printer that delivers the features and capabilities found in the DuraLabel PRO 300 (DLP300).

For example, the DLP300 is portable. With the optional battery you can take your DLP300 anywhere labeling or signs are needed. Or use the 12v accessory adapter to power your DLP300 from the cigarette lighter in your car or truck. This means you can take the DLP300 in the field and take care of labeling and signs, without the need to return to the shop.

The DuraLabel PRO 300 is the ideal printer to support the implementation of 5s or a Visual Communication program. Make it a part of a 5S Cart that has all the supplies needed for good visual communication, including DuraLabel PRO supplies and DuraStripe floor marking tape.

This brings up an important point. It does not matter how good your printer is, if you can't get the proper supplies. The DLP300 is a standout in this area also. It uses DuraLaebl PRO supplies, which provide supplies that cover a wide range of applications. From conventional continuous vinyl optimized to maximize label durability, to highly specialized supplies such as oily surface tapes and low temperature tapes, DuraLabel PRO supplies deliver. They get the job done, and they get it done right... the first time and every time.

DuraLabel keeps things simple. They provide unbeatable quality and save you money.

How do you know you are getting unbeatable quality?

A key reason is because with DuraLabel PRO supplies you are dealing with labeling experts who have a long history of supplying only the best equipment and supplies. Because with DuraLabel supplies you are dealing with labeling experts who have extensive R&D and quality testing departments. Because with DuraLabel supplies you are buying from a company that wants you as a customer for the next 100 years... and that means they must deliver quality--both in their products and their service--or you'll find a better dealer.

For example, the "obvious" answer is not always the right answer. Is bigger always better? Not when it comes to vinyl tapes. Thicker tapes mean more durable vinly, but it does not mean more durable labels. Thicker vinly tends to return to its original shape, curling to the shape it had when it was on a roll. The result are labels that don't print as well and that pull free (become unstuck) sooner. The best quality vinyl is more that optimizes vinyl durability and label durability. This happens at a vinyl thickness of 3.0 mil.
