This Website might appear to contain full of an array of label printers, scanners, barcode labels, and other labeling products. You might even be able to surf the Web and find off-the-shelf products at a lower price from a distributor who provides no assistance in selection of products or help in making them work.

We take a different approach at Computype—we put all the pieces together for you, ensure they work, and thus provide an integrated labeling solution—an overworked cliché, perhaps, but it is who we are. We make sure the label scanners work with the symbology and density to be printed. We make sure the on-demand printer is capable of producing the barcode label you need. We make sure the label stock is matched with the right ribbon to ensure image durability. We even write software to enable the kind of label printing and scanning solutions you need.

On-demand label printing doesn’t need to be complicated. Most difficulties arise with the host computer system being unable to properly print the data sent to the label printer, we set the printer up so it converts the data stream from a host computer to the proprietary language required by any thermal transfer label printer. Our customers can remove their old dot-matrix line printers, for example, and install a customized thermal transfer label printer of their choice. They’re then able to print the exact barcode labels they need with greater scannability and no change is required to their current information system.
