When barcodes fail

Thermal label printers need maintenance and when printheads burn out, they stop printing on portions of the label. That’s bad for traditional barcodes that communicate data as lines. If the lines aren’t printed correctly, or at all, the information can be interpreted incorrectly by scanners, causing inaccuracy and inefficiency. Your business deserves a better barcode – on that works right every time.
